TDK Corporation, an electronic components company, has inaugurated a lithium-ion battery manufacturing plant in Sohna, Haryana. The facility is designed to produce around 200 million battery packs annually, which the company said will meet about 40 percent of India’s annual requirement of 500 million packs. According to information released at the event, the plant is expected to create approximately 5,000 direct jobs.
The new facility will manufacture batteries for mobile phones, wearables, hearables such as earbuds and watches, as well as laptops. The plant has been established under the Electronics Manufacturing Cluster (EMC) Scheme of the Government of India.
“Whether it is camera modules, PCB assembly, semiconductors or batteries—every component will be manufactured in our country over the coming years. The arrival of such advanced technology in India is a major milestone for our self-reliance in electronics,” said Ashwini Vaishnaw, Minister of Electronics and Information Technology.
Vaishnaw also noted that direct employment will be supported through training provided at the AT Bawal plant. He added that the first made-in-India chips had been presented to the Prime Minister during Semicon India 2025.
TDK Corporation is an electronic components company with more than 250 manufacturing, research and development, and sales sites in over 30 countries and regions.
