Reaching 80% gender diversity across operations is a noteworthy milestone for JSW MG Motor India’s battery assembly factory in Halol, Gujarat. This plant, which produces 140 units per day on average, is in charge of building the battery packs for the MG Comet and MG Windsor. One of JSW MG Motor India’s main tenets is diversity, and the company has made great progress in developing a fair workforce throughout all of its operating bases. At the moment, almost 41% of the company’s employees are women. The automaker employs 80% women to run its battery assembly line over three shifts. Four sections make up the organised assembly line, which guarantees accuracy and productivity in the manufacturing of batteries.

“At JSW MG Motor India, we firmly believe that diversity drives innovation, culminating in a strong growth story,” said Anurag Mehrotra, Managing Director, in a statement marking the milestone. It is impressive to see how well our teams work together to build a fair and forward-thinking manufacturing environment at our Halol site. I have no doubt that our consumers will likewise be proud to hear that 80% of the workers who make the batteries for their EVs are women. This is the spirit that underpins EV Sahi Hai.

The module line, pack line, charging and discharging line, and final assembly line make up the battery assembly shop. The open circuit voltage test, which is the first step in the battery assembly process at JSW MG Motor India, verifies the electrical integrity of each cell before the cell glue procedure uses specialised adhesive to hold them in place.

Welding and module assembly come next, where components are properly joined using spot and laser welding processes. To guarantee structural precision, each module is scanned and aligned, and laser welding is another crucial quality control procedure. Electrical connections and safety testing are essential for the following stage. Electrical isolation is ensured by the insulation resistance test, and safe and dependable electrical channels are established by busbar fitting. To verify performance and dependability, these batteries go through extensive charging and discharging tests. Before being fitted into MG EVs, battery modules are combined into packs during the last stages of assembly and performance testing.
