Advait Battery Ecosystem Pvt Ltd, a subsidiary of Advait Energy Transitions Ltd, announced that it has entered into a master supply agreement (MSA) with HiTHIUM, for the supply of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) prismatic battery cells.
The agreement anchors cell supply for Advait’s upcoming 2.5 GWh annual capacity cell-to-container BESS assembly facility and is structured to support cell offtake of up to 1 GWh over the next year.
Under the agreement, HiTHIUM will supply its 314 Ah LFP prismatic cells to Advait, bringing one of the most widely deployed cell platforms in global energy storage into Advait’s domestic manufacturing ecosystem, a release by Advait Group said.
Hithium is recognised as a BloombergNEF Tier 1 global energy storage manufacturer and is among the leading energy storage battery cell manufacturers globally. The company supplies battery cells and energy storage systems for utility-scale, commercial and industrial, and residential applications across international markets, the release noted.
The agreement establishes Hithium as a key cell supply partner for Advait as the company builds its domestic BESS manufacturing capacity.
Advait’s 2.5 GWh BESS cell-to-container assembly line, currently under development, is central to the company’s strategy of building an integrated, India-based battery energy storage manufacturing ecosystem. The planned capabilities span cell sourcing, module and pack assembly, container integration and system commissioning, providing an integrated manufacturing framework for BESS applications.
The Hithium agreement provides a cell supply framework as Advait prepares to scale production at the facility. With an offtake structure of up to 1 GWh over the next year, the agreement aligns cell sourcing with the planned ramp-up of Advait’s domestic assembly capabilities.
Located at Gangad in Gujarat, the BESS facility is scheduled to begin commercial production soon. It is being developed to serve utility-scale, commercial and industrial, and renewable integration applications as Advait expands from project-level BESS deployment towards volume manufacturing, the release added.
