Hyundai Motor India Limited Becomes First Automaker to Offer Made-in-India AGM Battery Technology

Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) has announced that it will equip its domestic product line-up with AMARON's Made-in-India AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) battery technology. The AGM batteries, which will be used as an SLI (Starting, Lighting and Ignition) battery, will be procured under HMIL's existing procurement agreement with Amara Raja Energy & Mobility Limited (ARE&M). The move is in-line with HMIL's dedicated efforts towards localization and introducing locally sourced innovative technologies for Indian customers. The Made-in-India AMARON AGM batteries have successfully outperformed conventional CMF (Complete Maintenance Free) batteries by about 150% in durability tests. The localization of this world-class technology is a true testament to HMIL's commitment towards building an ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’.
