Our early and continuing commitment to following principles of environmental care and sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We have embraced India’s vision of transitioning to clean energy consumption, especially considering the country’s immense potential for harnessing solar and wind energy. As the world makes a conscious shift to renewable energy, at Godrej & Boyce, we foresaw the need for rechargeable batteries to store and dispense clean energy efficiently.
Godrej UEP, a joint venture between Godrej & Boyce and US-based Urban Electric Power, has been conceived to play a pivotal role in this transformative journey towards a cleaner and greener country and planet. At Godrej UEP, we manufacture leading-edge Zinc-based rechargeable batteries leveraging our extensive industry knowledge and engineering excellence to create value for customers. Unlike Lithium-ion batteries, Zinc-based batteries utilise non-toxic, earth-abundant materials from existing supply chains, making them a crucial component of resilient energy infrastructure and a greener alternative.
With a capacity to manufacture 1500 cells daily, we have invested in a 20,000 square feet facility that is a testament to innovation, efficiency and quality. Over 80% of the equipment used in the plant is developed and manufactured in India, demonstrating our commitment to making our nation more self-reliant.
As we pursue cutting-edge technology and innovation, Godrej UEP aspires to revolutionise renewable energy storage, significantly contributing towards India's renewable energy goals and a greener, more sustainable future for generations to come.
