Besides, working with an Indian company for this world-class technology is a true testament to HMIL’s commitment towards localization, well aligned with the Government of India’s ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ initiative.”
The Made-in-India AMARON AGM batteries have successfully outperformed conventional CMF (Complete Maintenance Free) batteries by about 150 percent in rigorous real-world durability tests. With a wider operational temperature and longer life span, AGM batteries are an apt fit for dynamic Indian driving conditions.
Harshavardhana Gourineni, Executive Director, Amara Raja Energy & Mobility Limited said, “We are thrilled to be a part of Hyundai Motor India Limited’s journey of redefining future mobility. This is a significant step in AMARON’s mission to deliver world-class energy solutions that meet the evolving demands of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). These batteries are designed to meet stringent Real Driving Emissions (RDE) norms like India’s BS6 Phase 2 standards.”
HMIL is constantly enhancing its localization efforts, with its dedicated Localization Team, by working closely with over 194 vendors for 1,238 plus components and trim parts at its Chennai manufacturing facility, while adopting a focused localization strategy for its upcoming plant in Talegaon, Maharashtra.
