The Quad Investors Network (QUIN) on Tuesday introduced its collaboration with India’s Epsilon Advanced Materials in connection with the corporate’s latest resolution to construct a $650 million battery supplies and elements plant in North Carolina, in response to a report within the Businesswire. The deal would be the first and largest funding ever by an Indian firm into the US electrical battery business. It is anticipated to create 500 jobs in North Carolina.
China dominates the worldwide electrical automobile battery element market, with practically 98% of manufacturing there.

Vikram Handa, managing director of Epsilon Advanced Materials, mentioned, “Considering this strategic investment, I would like to express my enthusiasm and gratitude for the unwavering support of the Quad Investors Network. Their collaboration has been instrumental in realising our vision for a robust and sustainable supply chain of critical minerals in the United States of America.”
Epsilon Advanced Materials’ funding is important for the collective development of the electrical automobile (EV) business, in addition to the broader clear power sector. The new 1.5-million-sq.-foot North Carolina facility will produce anodes and artificial graphite, two elements very important to the EV battery provide chain. The firm expects the plant will attain full capability by 2031, producing 50,000 customary tons of anode supplies, which might provide as much as 1.1 million EVs within the United States.
