Through the creation of the EV Ancillary Cluster, manufacturing partners will be invited to set up their production unit for manufacturing ancillaries in the EV cluster for the production of essential components like motors, batteries, chassis, steel parts, chargers, controllers, etc. Wardwizard will be supporting the industry by providing ultra-modern facilities including land, manpower and other essential resources.

The year 2023 can be reckoned as the year of EV mobility in the country. Wardwizard has established India’s first EV Ancillary cluster in Gujarat by aligning its objectives to the ‘Make in India’ initiative. The company has started the operations of a lithium-ion battery assembly line with a capacity of 1 GWh/year. This is the initial phase of the plan for the development of the EV cluster and facilitates the Company to keep a check on the quality and standard of the batteries. The next phase is scaling the capacity of the battery assembly, R&D operations and production of electronic components in the EV Ancillary Cluster.

• Market linkage for MSME in the EV space

• It will reduce the production cost and enhance competitive advantage.

• Expected job creation for 6000+

• Opportunities for exports of EVs and EV parts

The development of the Ancillary Cluster will focus on manufacturing the most essential components for the EV industry such as:

• Joy e-Rik Passenger Segment Assembly Plant

• Chargers and controllers

• Lithium-ion battery assembly

• R&D, Designing and Production of Electronic Components

• Joy e-bike High-Speed Electric 2-Wheeler Assembly Plant

• Chassis and Steel Parts and Steel Subparts

• Plant for prospected 4-wheeler Project

The Ancillary Cluster is a backward integration measure and a game-changing strategy. The two manufacturing plants will help the Company become a large industry player and export a part of the production.
