(Express Photo by Tashi Tobgyal)Japanese firm ATL Thursday launched the first phase of what is touted to be Asia’s largest lithium-ion battery manufacturing unit, at the Industrial Model Township in Haryana’s Nuh. Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw inaugurated the plant.
Built with an investment of over Rs 3,000 crore, it is expected to create over 5,000 jobs and position Haryana as a hub for clean energy and electronics manufacturing, a Nuh district administration spokesperson said.
Vaishnaw, the Union Minister for Railways, Information and Broadcasting, and Electronics and IT, said the plant will produce high-quality products, aligning with Japan’s standards. “Haryana will now manufacture products that meet global quality benchmarks, benefiting consumers and creating jobs,” he further said during the launch.
Haryana Industry and Commerce Minister Rao Narbir Singh described the project as a historic milestone, crediting the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini. “This initiative reflects Haryana’s emergence as a symbol of self-reliance, innovation, and global collaboration,” he said.
Singh added that the state plans to develop 10 new industrial cities to further boost its industrial landscape.
The Rs 3,000-crore project is expected to generate over 5,000 direct jobs in its first phase. ATL had previously invested over Rs 1,000 crore in Bawal, creating 1,500 jobs in 2020.
“The new facility underscores Haryana’s appeal as an industrial hub, supported by its proximity to Delhi-NCR, robust road and rail networks, logistics capabilities, and strong supply chain infrastructure,” the spokesperson added.
Singh highlighted the state’s policies, including the Haryana Enterprises and Employment Policy, MSME Policy, and Startup Policy, as key drivers of investment and job creation. He also noted that Haryana’s foreign collaboration policy has strengthened its global presence, with recent efforts to attract investments from Vietnam, Turkey, and East Africa.
“This project is not just a business venture but a symbol of confidence in Haryana and India’s bright future,” Singh said, adding that it aligns with the vision of a developed India by 2047.
