Mobis India has launched its electric vehicle battery system assembly plant in Sriperumbudur, Tamil Nadu, next to Hyundai’s manufacturing facility. 

The plant, which spans 8.15 acres, aims to advance electric mobility and manufacturing capabilities. With an initial installed capacity of 36,000 units per annum, it can scale up to 75,000 units in the short term.

The plant will focus on assembling high-performance battery systems for locally manufactured EVs, with the Hyundai CRETA Electric being the first vehicle equipped with battery packs.

Tamil Nadu’s Industries Minister TRB Rajaa said, “This facility strengthens Tamil Nadu’s localisation capabilities by ensuring critical EV components are made here. This project reflects Tamil Nadu’s transition to smart manufacturing and our commitment to creating high-value employment. The project is set to generate 255 direct and indirect work opportunities, offering a boost to the local economy.”

The plant currently produces high-performance NMC battery packs and is expected to support lithium iron phosphate battery production in the near future.
