Amara Raja is one of the leading manufacturers of Lead Acid batteries of VRLA, MF Flooded and Tubular versions for Industrial, Consumer and Automotive applications. The company was the first to pioneer the VRLA & MF flooded technology in India and successfully launched this product to suit to Indian tropical climatic conditions. Today, VRLA battery is the most sought-after product by the customers by virtue of its maintenance-free characteristics and highly reliable performance. Further, the company introduced flooded batteries that are completely Maintenance Free and factory charged for Four Wheeler application. In our endeavour to offer the best in class product to Indian consumers, we brought AGM version of lead-acid batteries for two-wheeler application in the year 2008. In the year 2016; we brought the world class Tubular Battery Technology to serve the Indian Home inverter, Solar & E-Rickshaw applications.

The Technology & Research (T & R) center of Amara Raja Energy & Mobility Limited, has been the back bone of all the above activities. Both fundamental and applied research projects are taken every year, which obviously helps to improve the product performance constantly. The center has a hub of human talent, close to 150 people with diverse back grounds and competencies to drive these projects. In other words, innovation & excellence are a way of life at the center with a sole objective of bringing in best-in-class products to the delight of the customer.

Our T & R is recognized by DSIR since 1996 for its efforts and contributions. With Innovative Engineering, Research and Design, Amara Raja has grown with partnerships and information sharing with world leaders.
