Eveready Industries is set to establish a greenfield alkaline battery plant in Jammu, with operations expected to start by the end of the current fiscal year.
The new plant will position Eveready as the sole domestic manufacturer in this segment and will feature one of the most advanced alkaline battery manufacturing lines globally.
The company is investing ₹180 crore in the facility, which will have a production capacity of 360 million units and aims to reduce dependence on imports.
The move is part of Eveready's strategy to enhance operational efficiencies, expand product ranges, and increase market share, with notable growth in alkaline battery sales reported in the previous financial year.
