France-headquartered Alstom plans to manufacture large batteries for railway traction components in India in the next one year. The batteries can be used to move various railway systems such as Vande Bharat trains, metro rail, and others.
The company plans to bring the batteries to India after testing the technology in several European countries. Eventually, Alstom will start to make indigenous cells in India. The company's Maneja facility in Gujarat, which is already making rail components, would be used to make these large batteries locally.
The new batteriy technology can supply auxiliary power to diesel and electric railway powertrains in situations such as power supply failure.
