Pace Digitek establishes R&D center for battery research in collaboration with IISER Pune

Pace Digitek Ltd announced that its arm Lineage Power has established the Pace-Lineage Research Center in Pune for research, engineering and product development in advanced battery technologies, including advanced chemistry cells (ACC) and energy storage solutions. The Center, in a research collaboration with the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Pune, will undertake research and development of advanced battery technologies and battery materials to strengthen domestic capabilities in energy storage.

The research programme at the Pace-Lineage Research Center will focus on advanced chemistry cells, including lithium-ion (Li-ion) and sodium-ion (Na-ion), and battery materials, to improve battery capacity and cycling stability. The research will include optimization of material coatings, tuning of material microstructure and porosity, design of new electrolytes, detailed material characterization, electrochemical evaluation, and optimization of cell parameters. The Center will also evaluate and validate raw materials from domestic suppliers to support indigenous technology development and strengthen the local supply chain.

The R&D Center complements Pace Digitek’s manufacturing, engineering, and project execution capabilities by supporting research in advanced battery materials and technologies.

Pace Digitek is an integrated infrastructure and energy solutions company in India, operating across two business segments: energy and telecom & ICT. In the energy segment, the company undertakes battery energy storage system (BESS) design, manufacturing, product supply, integration, and deployment. Through its subsidiary, Lineage Power, it manufactures and supplies BESS, telecom power systems, and related energy infrastructure products, supporting both integrated project execution and standalone product supply.
