Kinetic India’s Range-X Rolls Out First AIS 156-Certified LFP Battery from Ahilya Nagar

Kinetic India marked a major milestone in the country’s clean mobility transition today as its battery arm, Range-X, rolled out its first Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery from the newly established facility in Ahilya Nagar.

The inaugural Range-X battery is set to power the recently launched Kinetic DX EV, the company’s flagship electric two-wheeler. Certified under AIS 156 standards, the new battery emphasizes safety, durability, and sustainability—three critical benchmarks for India’s growing electric vehicle ecosystem.

Designed with eco-conscious LFP chemistry, the batteries promise 2,000–3,000 charge cycles, superior thermal stability, and a smart Battery Management System (BMS) that optimises performance and enhances safety.

Kinetic says this makes the Range-X battery “Longer, Safer & Superior,” suitable not only for the Kinetic DX but also for a wider range of two- and three-wheelers in the future.

Speaking at the rollout, Ajinkya Firodia, Vice Chairman of Kinetic India, said:

“These first batteries rolling off our production line represent more than just a milestone for Range-X—they signify the backbone of the Kinetic DX EV and the next wave of clean mobility in India. With AIS 156 certification, Range-X delivers on its promise of combining durability, safety, and sustainability in every battery we produce.”

The Ahilya Nagar plant is equipped with a fully automated, IoT-enabled production line with POKE-YOKE systems and stage-wise inspections, designed to deliver precision and reliability at scale.

With India’s demand for electric two- and three-wheelers accelerating, Range-X aims to become a key supplier of safe, long-lasting, and sustainable battery solutions.
