Hyundai Motor India (HMIL) will equip its domestic product line-up with Amaron’s Made-in-India AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) battery technology. It will be used as an SLI (Starting, Lighting and Ignition) battery and will be procured under HMIL’s existing procurement agreement with Amara Raja Energy & Mobility (ARE&M), a solutions provider in the energy and mobility space.
HMIL aims to equip its models with the indigenously manufactured AGM batteries in Q4 of FY 2024-2025, making it the first auto OEM in India to use localised AGM technology.
The Made-in-India Amaron AGM batteries have successfully outperformed conventional CMF (Complete Maintenance Free) batteries by about 150 per cent in rigorous real-world durability tests. With a wider operational temperature and longer life span, AGM batteries are an apt fit for dynamic Indian driving conditions.
These batteries are designed to meet stringent Real Driving Emissions (RDE) norms like India’s BS6 Phase 2 standards.
Key Highlights of the Made-in-India AGM batteries:
State-of-the-art AGM Technology: AGM batteries offer quick charging, longevity, low self-discharge, minimal maintenance and high-power efficiency, making them suitable for vehicles with ISG (Idle Stop and Go) systems.
A smoother start and better energy efficiency for higher electrical load in modern cars, are some of the added benefits of this technology.
HMIL is constantly enhancing its localisation efforts, with its dedicated Localisation Team, by working closely with over 194 vendors for 1,238 plus components and trim parts at its Chennai manufacturing facility, while adopting a focused localisation strategy for its upcoming plant in Talegaon, Maharashtra.
