In a historic announcement, GODI India Private Limited, headquartered in Hyderabad, has achieved a groundbreaking milestone as the first Indian company to secure LFP BIS certification for its revolutionary Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) Li-ion cells. This achievement, recognized at the World Economic Forum in Davos in the presence of the honorable Chief Minister of Telangana Shri Revanth Reddy, reinforces GODI’s dedication to innovation in advanced energy storage for electric vehicle (EV) and renewable energy storage system (ESS) applications.
GODI’s accomplishment builds on its previous achievement of developing India’s first in-house NMC811 cathode material-based Li-ion cells, BIS certified in mid-2022. The company is known for pioneering large Farad (2.7V-3000F) supercapacitors for surge power applications and has strategic plans for GIGA scale cell manufacturing of NMC and LFP for EV, ESS, and Defense. The focus on Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) material for energy storage has resulted in GODI’s LFP cells earning BIS and AIS certifications, showcasing technical excellence and collaborative success with investor Graphite India Limited.
Supported by Blue Ashva Capital and Graphite India Ltd, GODI has become a symbol of technological advancement and sustainability in the Indian tech industry. The recently certified LFP cells, meticulously designed and tested in-house, mark a significant stride towards reducing India’s reliance on imported LFP batteries.
The LFP cells boast an energy density surpassing 150 Wh/kg, exceptional charge-discharge rates, and a service life exceeding 2000 cycles. Rigorous reliability and abuse tests confirm the intrinsic safety and durability of GODI’s cells, positioning the company as a pioneer in domestic energy storage.
Mahesh GODI, Founder and CEO of GODI India, expressed enthusiasm, stating, “Receiving LFP BIS certification is a monumental achievement. GODI aims to establish extensive indigenous manufacturing facilities for GIGA scale production of NMC & LFP cells, catering to the electric vehicle (EV), energy storage system (ESS), and defense sectors in India, Europe, and the USA. This certification validates our technical prowess and solidifies our commitment to a self-reliant and sustainable future for energy storage in India.”
He further added, “In addition to technical achievements, GODI leads in environmental responsibility. Our eco-friendly electrode and slurry-making process, using water as a solvent, reduces the cost per kWh by over 3% and minimizes the carbon footprint by approximately 30%, aligning with GODI’s commitment to a greener tomorrow.”
Looking forward, GODI aims to enhance LFP cell energy density, develop next-gen manganese-doped LFP materials, and formulate in-house electrolytes for a wide temperature range, especially for defense applications.
As a proud signatory to The Climate Pledge by Amazon, GODI actively pursues solvent-free and dry electrode coating processes, aiming to reduce the cost per kWh by over 5%. The company welcomes collaborations with local raw material manufacturers to fortify a stable and sustainable supply chain, contributing to the larger vision of a technologically advanced and environmentally conscious India.
