Sudeep Pharma Private Limited (Sudeep Pharma) announced its expansion into the Clean Energy Storage sector with the launch of its subsidiary, Sudeep Advanced Materials (SAM). The self-funded initiative will focus on the production of iron phosphate for electric vehicle (EV) energy storage applications, utilizing the company’s over thirty plus years of expertise in green chemistry developed through its work in pharmaceutical and food specialty and active ingredients.
Sudeep Pharma began producing iron phosphate in 2015 and is now one of the largest global producers of food-grade iron phosphate, with a capacity of 15,000 MT. Over this period, the company has developed a green process that significantly reduces water consumption and gas emissions.
SAM will utilize these capabilities to manufacture green iron phosphate for electric vehicles (EVs) battery storage systems. The company has established a customer qualification plant (CQP), which will validate product specifications and performance with potential customers, laying the groundwork for future commercial production. A thirty-acre commercialization hub, designed to produce 1,00,000 metric tons (annually) of pCAMs, including iron phosphate and manganese derivatives, will begin phase 1 production by 2026.
As per the press release, SAM benefits from the Sudeep Pharma’s established raw material sourcing capabilities, including Phosphoric Acid, which the company has been procuring for over three decades, ensuring constant supply for its manufacturing processes.
Julian Dunn, Vice President, Sales and Marketing commented, “The launch of SAM represents a strategic move into the Global battery Market, building on our strong foundation in phosphate manufacturing”.
Shanil Bhayani, Director stated, “Our commitment to sustainability and societal impact has been a cornerstone of our work in the nutrition and food sectors. With SAM, we aim to drive forward innovative, sustainable solutions for battery technologies”.
