Under the agreement, Hithium will supply up to 1 GWh of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery cells over the next year.
The Master Supply Agreement was signed on September 18, 2026.
What is the deal for?
Hithium will supply 314 Ah LFP prismatic cells, a battery technology widely used in energy storage systems.
The cells will be used at Advait Battery Ecosystems’ upcoming battery energy storage system (BESS) assembly plant in Gangad, Gujarat.
The facility is expected to begin commercial production soon and is being built with a planned annual capacity of 2.5 GWh.
The plant will make battery storage systems for large power projects, businesses and industries, and renewable energy projects.
In simple terms, the agreement gives Advait a planned source of battery cells as it prepares to scale up production of energy storage systems in India.
Why does the cell supply matter?
A reliable supply of battery cells is important for companies assembling large-scale energy storage systems.
Bhushan Shahane, Chief Operating Officer of Advait Battery Ecosystems, said a dependable cell supply chain is essential for offering customers cost-efficient and high-performance energy storage solutions.
He said the company selected Hithium based on its quality, performance and experience working with large energy storage developers.
Advait is building a wider battery ecosystem
The Gujarat plant is part of Advait’s plan to build an India-based battery energy storage manufacturing chain.
The company plans to cover several stages, from sourcing battery cells to assembling modules and packs, integrating them into containers and commissioning the final storage systems.
Advait has also partnered with Adaptive Engineering for areas such as engineering design, energy management systems, control systems and overall system integration.
With Hithium now supplying the battery cells, Advait said it is moving from individual BESS projects towards larger-scale manufacturing.
