About the Butibori, Maharashtra facility
Butibori MIDC, south of Nagpur, is one of Maharashtra's largest industrial areas and sits near the geographic centre of India, on major road and rail routes in every direction. The second-life works opened there in 2023 to turn graded modules into stationary storage systems for commercial, telecom and rural customers across the country. Buyers range from small businesses to telecom tower operators and rural cooperatives.
Rated at 9,500 TPA, the works receives graded modules rather than whole packs. Its central location lets it draw Grade A and B modules from grading sites all over India and ship finished storage units nationwide on reasonable transit times. Much of its output uses LFP modules, whose long calendar life suits repeated daily cycling in stationary duty. Buyers can inspect units before dispatch.
