Battery manufacturing for electric vehicles and grid energy storage
Agratas is scaling industrial battery production across facilities in India and the UK, with an engineering-heavy org (28 engineers, majority senior-level) focused on manufacturing automation, safety certification, and digital simulation. The tech stack — AUTOSAR, ASPICE, ISO 26262, MATLAB, Python, PLC controllers, MES, PLM — reflects automotive-grade safety and process control requirements. Active adoption of LIMS and digital twin modeling signals a shift toward data-driven quality and performance validation as production ramps.
Notable leadership hires: Testing Facility Lead, Head of Construction
Agratas, a Tata Group battery business, designs and manufactures lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery cells for electric vehicles and stationary grid storage. The company is in active industrialization, building greenfield manufacturing plants in Sanand (India) and Bridgwater (UK). Operations span cell design, safety testing, laser welding optimization, battery management system development, and supply chain integration. The hiring mix — concentrated in engineering and manufacturing, with senior and manager-level roles — reflects a production-scaling phase rather than early-stage R&D.
