Trontek plans to expand its operations as demand grows for energy storage systems and electric mobility solutions in India. The company expects the expansion to create more than 500 new jobs by the financial year 2027.
The hiring initiative is expected to increase Trontek’s workforce from about 967 employees to nearly 1,400, marking one of the largest recruitment phases in the company’s two-decade history.
Most of the new positions will focus on manufacturing, battery engineering, quality systems, research and development (R&D), logistics and service operations. The expansion comes at a time when the adoption of lithium-ion batteries is increasing across electric two-wheelers, three-wheelers, rooftop solar installations and distributed energy storage systems.
A portion of the hiring will strengthen the company’s internal R&D capabilities. Areas of focus include battery management systems (BMS), thermal safety engineering, lifecycle optimisation and product validation designed for Indian operating conditions.
Samrath S. Kochar, founder and chief executive officer of Trontek, said the expansion reflects the company’s focus on building stronger engineering and manufacturing capabilities as the market grows.
“As demand increases across mobility and home energy systems, long-term competitiveness will depend on engineering depth and manufacturing resilience,” Kochar said.
The company is also expanding its engineering teams to develop locally designed battery technologies aimed at competing in global markets.
In addition to increasing manufacturing capacity, Trontek plans to introduce structured technical training programmes to develop specialised skills in lithium-ion battery assembly, safety compliance, electronics integration and energy-storage technologies.
Industry analysts note that companies operating in India’s battery and energy storage sector are expanding capacity as the country accelerates the transition to electric mobility and renewable energy systems.
