Hindalco Industries said that it has completed the delivery of 10,000 aluminium battery enclosures for automotive major Mahindra's e-SUVS.

The company also unveiled its dedicated EV component manufacturing facility in Chakan, Pune.

Satish Pai, managing director, Hindalco Industries, said: Our Chakan facility represents a strategic shift in Indias EV ecosystem from import dependence to high performance, localised aluminium solutions.

We are proud to partner with Mahindra in this journey, which not only reflects our commitment to the mobility transition but also highlights Mahindra's leadership in driving the electrification of mobility in India.
