The batteries manufacturing segment is a highly diversified one, with varied battery types catering to specific use cases. The global market for batteries is estimated to continue growing in the coming years, and India is anticipated to grow at a faster pace than the global rate, outdoing the global average of growth percentage in the next decade within this segment. Enhancing industrial prowess and governmental thrust upon boosting manufacturing capabilities across segments are the primary drivers behind this growth.
Within this sector, Hind LBT India, a startup dealing in energy storage and solar batteries and alternate batteries, stands out as a trailblazer, addressing a key challenge consumers face with other players - Product Consistency. Whereas several big players continually try to improve their quality, some times succeeding, and other times not, Hind LBT assures consistency of quality and performance of its batteries, every single time.
The Power of Consistency
Established in 2019, HIND LBT India is a dynamic and young group of individuals, driven to carve a space for their firm. The company is identified as a young, hungry, risk taking, organization, dedicated to its principles of delivering consistency and high-quality batteries to its customers, always. From the first to the nth time, customers are assured that they will receive the same high-quality products every time. Owing to this ideology, the firm has grown remarkably from two countries to twenty-two and from one state to five within India since inception, demonstrating the power of focusing on consistency in this segment.
However, the product development and performance is not the only place where the firm ensures consistency. Rather, the complete operational framework at Hind LBT has been designed to ensure consistency in every aspect of the transaction. From initial consultations to final delivery timeline, and all the communications in between, the firm follows a consistent roadmap which has helped it build trust in the market, and succeed in its journey.
“Embarking on a global journey, we ship to 22 countries and are expanding globally. With a commitment to excellence, we ship a minimum of five containers daily, earning the trust of international dealers. Our products are meticulously packaged to international standards, ensuring they reach their destination on time. We pride ourselves on our on-time delivery promise, approaching every order in a structured manner to ensure every order, whether domestic or international, is delivered within 25 days of sale finalization”, shares Varun Bhutani, Director.
Manufacturing Sustainably
Hind LBT manufactures (two) main types of batteries which it supplies to its global clientele. These products include the Tall Tubular and VRLA Gel battery by the name of HIND LBT and Toyocell brands. Across battery types, the company follows impeccable and comprehensive manufacturing practices in its world-class manufacturing facility to ensure quality. The manufacturing infrastructure developed by the company is not
merely extensive, but also home to automated processes, making it a center of technology and a hub for research and development.
“Our state-of-the-art factory is the heartbeat of precision production and skills of the people behind it. With Hadi machinery and Inbatec acid circulation charging technology at the fore front, our well-capacitated facility embodies superior quality consciousness, specializing in the manufacturing of VRLA gel and tubular batteries, powered by advanced machinery, adds Varun.
Moreover, the company houses an exceptionally skilled workforce with advanced experience and qualifications in their specific trades including raw material handling, charging, plate making, packaging, and quality control. These workers, who form the backbone of the firm, possess the skill of producing two batteries per minute, allowing the firm to manufacture over 80,000 batteries per month to be supplied across the globe. In addition to expediency, the team also ensures quality of products by adhering to standardized processes which are set for every phase of the production process, guaranteeing that every single battery holds up to the Hind LBT standards.
Throughout its production process, the team takes proactive measures for assuring quality by conducting quality inspections at various stages from raw material tests, to assembly tests, and final product tests to ensure every single battery is perfect for sale. While manufacturing its products, the company, dedicated to sustainability, also takes a multifold approach to ensuring its practices are aligned with sustainable measures.
“Sustainability is at the core of our operations, and we approach it in multiple ways: Firstly, we are 100 percent compliant to norms set forth for environmental sustainability with regards to pollution. We have our in-house water treatment system and air filtering system, ensuring that almost no amount of damage is done to the environment. Furthermore, in battery production, charging and discharging of a battery is a crucial step. When we discharge the battery, we store that power elsewhere and use it to either charge the battery or light the equipment, becoming a zero power waste company”, further adds Varun.
Consistent quality being central to Hind LBT’s commitment to excellence is assured by following a comprehensive set of tests and inspections at multiple stages during the manufacturing process
Quality Assurance
Quality being central to Hind LBT’s commitment to excellence is assured by following a comprehensive set of tests and inspections at multiple stages during the manufacturing process. Overall, the firm’s products align with all major global quality standards like the IEC standards. Randomly product is sent for inspection to renowned testing companies in India, reflecting the firm’s strong belief in the products as well as its prowess in designing products at par with those of legacy brands in the segment.
The company implements inspections in the form of grid test, which ensures that there is no breakage from the border on the grid, a paste density check, which ensures paste shedding is not a cause of concern in the batteries, as well as lead test after plate curing to avoid challenges like corrosion. There are also sear testing, short circuit tests, and air leakage tests conducted on the products when they are in the assembly stage to avoid the battery from spoiling quickly. Finally, a range of post-production inspections including iron and chlorine test, voltage check, gravity test, automated weight check, and automated HRD check are conducted to inspect the final products before packaging and dispatch.
Future Roadmap
With a tremendous track record of performance and consistent growth, the company is in a favorable position to expand in the coming years, and keeping up with its trajectory, has huge plans to achieve greater visibility and market share.
The firm is aggressively working towards expanding its global footprint further as a key strategy for growth. Beyond that, it is planning to expand its production capacity by opening a new manufacturing unit that is expected to double its production capacity. Moreover, the firm aims to introduce new products like lithium batteries, more solar products, sodium-nickel batteries, inverters, grids, and more, which will expand its range of offerings further. Working towards innovation of new products to expand its portfolio is a key focal area for Hind LBT for its near future.
Renowned for taking bold steps for growing and expanding, Hind LBT India is a promising young firm delivering consistently exceptional products that deliver exactly what they promise. Keeping up with this pattern, the firm demonstrates a capability of dominating the global batteries market in a few short years.
