The Andhra Pradesh government on Friday approved an investment of over Rs 2,500 crore by NSPSL Speciality Chemicals Pvt Ltd to establish a cathode material manufacturing facility in Chittoor district.

Spread across 105 acres in Gudupalle mandal, the project is a significant step towards localising one of the most critical components



in the electronics and battery value chain. Cathode materials are the core functional components of lithium-ion batteries, determining battery performance, energy density, lifecycle, and safety.
