Agratas filings reveal deeper role of Chinese-owned firm in Tata’s EV battery push

In its filings with the companies registrar in the UK earlier this year, AESC Apollo Holding noted it has a joint venture agreement in place with Agratas, as part of which it had picked up the 12% stake in AESS, and that it is working with the company. “The joint venture designs, develops and manufactures high-quality, high-performance, sustainable battery solutions for multiple applications to match its customers’ requirements,” AESC said in a filing dated 12 February.
