en.Wedoany.com Reported - Himadri Speciality Chemical has recently commissioned its first anode material production facility at its plant in Mahistikry, Hooghly district, West Bengal. With an initial production capacity of 200 tonnes per year, this facility is the first operational lithium-ion battery anode material plant in India.

The commissioning of this plant is built upon over a decade of the company's in-house R&D efforts, with its process covering the complete value chain from raw material processing to finished anode material. The production line is designed to utilize a variety of alternative raw materials, providing flexibility for future capacity expansion based on market demand.

This commissioning marks a significant step for Himadri into the lithium-ion battery component sector. The company plans to gradually increase its annual anode material production capacity to 200,000 tonnes to meet the growing demand for battery materials in the electric vehicle and energy storage system sectors. Company Chairman and CEO Anurag Choudhary stated, "We have invested tremendous effort in developing this product, and its quality meets high standards. We are the first company in India to commercialize the production of lithium-ion battery anode materials."

Himadri also revealed plans to export approximately 70% of its anode material output to the US and European markets starting from the third quarter of this fiscal year. The company's layout in the battery materials sector also includes cathode materials, and it is currently advancing the construction of a production line for lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathode active materials.
