Hyderabad: Amara Raja Advanced Cell Technologies on Wednesday commissioned its Customer Qualification Plant (CQP) at its Giga Corridor in Divitipalli, Mahabubnagar district, marking a key milestone in Telangana’s electric mobility ecosystem. Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy and Industries Minister D Sridhar Babu inaugurated the facility and coupled the industrial launch with assurances of major irrigation allocations for the Palamuru region.
Speaking on the occasion, Revanth Reddy announced that the government was working to secure 90 TMCft of water for the Palamuru-Rangareddy Lift Irrigation Scheme and 30 TMCft for the Dindi project. He added that discussions with the neighbouring State were underway and that an announcement would be made soon.
The Chief Minister said the government was accelerating the completion of pending irrigation projects while prioritising both industrial growth and agriculture. He said assured irrigation would benefit lakhs of acres and improve farmers’ incomes.
Revanth Reddy said the government was building on the positive industrial policies of previous governments while introducing new sector-specific policies under the Telangana Rising 2047 vision. Reiterating the State’s goal of becoming a $1 trillion economy by 2034, he said Telangana aimed to double its contribution to India’s GDP from 5 per cent to 10 per cent.
Amara Raja’s CQP has been developed with an investment of about Rs. 500 crore and an initial manufacturing capacity of 60 MWh. The facility will produce cylindrical and prismatic lithium-ion cells for customer validation from August. The unit, which has over 100 employees, is part of the company’s Rs. 1,500-crore Phase I investment under its proposed Rs. 9,500-crore Giga Corridor in Telangana.
Group Chairman Jayadev Galla said the project would strengthen India’s capabilities in advanced battery technology and contribute to building a self-reliant energy ecosystem.
