Andhra Pradesh secured India’s largest integrated lithium-ion battery Gigafactory with an investment of ₹8,175 crore by Waaree Energies. The 16 GWh facility will be established at Rambilli in Anakapalli district and is expected to generate around 3,000 direct jobs. The project strengthens India’s clean-energy manufacturing ecosystem by supporting renewable energy storage, electric vehicle expansion, and grid stability. It also reduces dependence on imported battery cells and promotes self-reliance in advanced energy storage technologies, aligning with broader national goals such as Make in India and the transition toward sustainable energy solutions.
