- Himadri Speciality Chemical Ltd (HSCL) announced an additional USD 0.66 million investment in International Battery Company, Inc. (IBC), raising its total holding to USD 6.09 million.
- The stake rose to 20.47 % on a fully‑diluted basis (up from 17.29 %), giving Himadri a larger foothold in the battery value chain.
- The move secures access to IBC’s advanced prismatic Li‑ion cell technology, R&D centre in California, manufacturing in South Korea, and a forthcoming Gigafactory in Bengaluru.
- Himadri highlights that the partnership will accelerate commercial rollout of its LFP cathode and advanced anode materials, supporting growth in mobility, grid storage and other energy‑storage markets.
Himadri's increased stake in International Battery Company is seen as a modest boost, signalling stronger downstream integration and tech access, which should lift the share a few percent. The move is incremental, so any upside is likely limited.
