Wardwizard operationalizes its in-house 1 GWh EV Battery assembly line

Wardwizard Innovations and Mobility - the Indian manufacturer of Joy e-bike brand - has recently commenced the operations of a lithium-ion battery assembly line with a capacity of 1 GWh. This move comes under the Phase 1 development of the company's EV ancillary cluster located at Vadodara, Gujarat.

Under the phased development plan, the battery assembly line is a strategic move on the part of the company. It has been done with a vision to ensure the highest quality standards where the company can have direct control on the quality and standards of their battery packs, the company claims. 

Further, the operationalization of the battery assembly is a step towards solidify the company's contribution to the existing EV ecosystem, it adds. The first batch of assembled battery packs from this production unit has been already rolled out.
