"During the lockdown, we realised the drawback of depending on the foreign markets and have worked towards building capabilities, strengthening the team, and working harder resulting in this achievement," said Rahul Raj, co-founder of Inverted Energy.

Recently, Inverted Energy launched a new range of Li-ion batteries for electric vehicles (EVs) and home energy storages, among others.

"With this capacity addition, the company has extended its journey towards Atmanirbhar Bharat and to create a flexible, cost-effective and optimised market space aiming to reduce dependency (for batteries)on China," he said.

The company said the production capacity at the new plant is expected to increase multifold in the coming month.

Various states in India are coming up with new plans related to electric vehicles, with Telangana recently launching its EV policy exempting road tax for first two lakh electric vehicles, Raj said.
