September 8, 2025: India-based Amara Raja group has opened a base in Dubai in a move the battery giant said will boost business in the region.

Harshavardhana Gourineni, executive director of the group’s Amara Raja Energy & Mobility unit, formally opened the new office and announced the event in a LinkedIn post on August 28.

Gourineni said the office will serve as a hub for customers in Europe, the Middle East and Africa while boosting battery sales across the regions.

Meanwhile, the group said it is ramping up work to develop four manufacturing units in India’s Telangana state that will form part of Amara Raja Energy & Mobility’s battery ‘giga corridor’.
A foundation stone marking development of the lithium battery cells project site was laid last March.

However, the group has said it is still wedded to expanding its lead acid business. Earlier this year, Hyundai said it would be the first automaker to deploy ‘make-in-India’ AGM tech in partnership with Amara Raja Energy & Mobility.

Hyundai Motor India will equip its domestic cars range with Amara Raja’s AGM batteries, to be used as an SLI battery, as part of an existing procurement deal.
