Log9 Materials, India’s first lithium-ion battery manufacturer, warned production at its facility in Bengaluru could take a hit from the late arrival of Chinese experts as the New Delhi government delayed the approval of visa applications.
“If the Chinese engineers don’t arrive on time, then our cell line production will get impacted,” Log9’s co-founder and director, Pankaj Sharma, told Reuters. “We don’t know by how much, but it can practically destabilise the production.”
