Reliance denies report of pausing battery cell plans, says manufacturing strategy unchanged

Reliance Industries denies reports of pausing its lithium-ion battery cell manufacturing plans, stating the project is progressing as scheduled. The company had been in talks with China's Xiamen Hithium for technology licensing, but discussions stalled due to China's export controls. Reliance aims to build a world-leading battery storage manufacturing ecosystem, from cell production to containerised energy storage systems.
