GODI (Hyderabad, India) develops and manufactures Li‑ion, Na‑ion and supercapacitor technologies for EVs, ESS and specialty sectors. The company combines in‑house materials R&D, domestic giga‑scale production plans and recycling to lower cost per kWh and environmental impact.
GODI India Pvt Ltd, founded in 2020 and led by Mahesh Godi, is headquartered in Hyderabad, Telangana, India. The company focuses on R&D, giga-scale cell manufacturing and end-of-life recycling for green energy storage. GODI’s stated mission is to accelerate deployment of low‑carbon energy storage through domestic cell production, proprietary materials and sustainable manufacturing practices that reduce environmental impact and improve supply‑chain resilience.
GODI develops lithium‑ion, sodium‑ion and emerging solid‑state cell chemistries plus supercapacitor materials. Key technical features include 21700 NMC cylindrical cells with energy densities up to ~275 Wh/kg, LFP cells above ~150 Wh/kg with long cycle life, silicon‑enhanced anodes, dry/coating and water‑based electrode processes, and bio‑waste derived activated carbon for high‑power capacitors. Supporting capabilities include thermal engineering, electrochemistry research and recycling workflows that lower solvent use, reduce emissions and improve safety.
Reorted or planned product lines include Li‑ion and Na‑ion cells (cylindrical and prismatic), all‑solid‑state development, supercapacitors and hybrid lithium‑ion capacitors. Offerings target EVs, stationary energy storage, consumer electronics, telecom, defense and aerospace, emphasizing high cycle life, fast charge capability, wide temperature tolerance and reduced cost per kWh.
GODI progressed a Telangana gigafactory project (2024–25) to produce lithium‑ion and sodium‑ion cells at planned nameplate of 12.5 GWh with a phased start at 2.5 GWh. The project lists an approximate investment of $960 million and projected initial job creation of about 6,000. The plant activity includes commercial cell production and scale‑up work with strategic partners on capacitor and cell manufacturing.
The company’s capitalization includes strategic and private investors: Graphite India Limited acquired a significant stake (reported 45.76% via a rights issue in 2025), Blue Ashva Capital participated as an early institutional investor, and named private investors include Satya Narayan Bansal and Alvaro Guimaraes Mucida. GODI has disclosed multi‑hundred‑million‑dollar capital plans to scale manufacturing, alongside planned multi‑year investments to expand capacity.
