Godrej Enterprises Group has introduced a new Multi Ion battery technology for electric forklifts, positioning it as India’s first such solution for the material handling industry.
The launch is aimed at supporting cleaner and more efficient supply chains as India’s manufacturing and warehousing sectors continue to scale up operations.
According to the company, the battery technology can help reduce total ownership costs by 25% while improving equipment uptime and operational efficiency. The battery is designed to last for the entire operational life of the forklift.
The company said the Multi Ion battery supports fast charging, opportunity charging, and zero maintenance while also reducing disposal challenges and eliminating rare earth dependency.
Developed with one of India’s leading deep-tech battery innovators, the technology offers up to 5,000 life cycles, making it nearly 60% more durable than standard lithium-ion batteries.
Mr. Anil Lingayat, Business Head, Material Handling Equipment, Godrej Enterprises Group, said, “As India’s supply chains scale in complexity and intensity, material handling requires energy solutions that deliver reliability, long term value, and sustainability. With Multi Ion battery technology, we are rethinking how industrial equipment is powered, applying advanced engineering to enable higher uptime, lower ownership costs, and cleaner operations across the value chain, including MSMEs. This reflects our focus on design led innovation, R&D, and technology driven product focus that delivers real, scalable impact across the logistics ecosystem.”
Godrej said the technology has undergone over 5,000 hours of validation under real-world operating conditions and is backed by a seven-year warranty.
