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

In its application to the UK company registrar earlier this year, AESC Apollo Holding stated that it had a joint venture agreement with Agratas, as part of which it acquired a 12% stake in AESS and was working with the company. “The joint venture designs, develops and manufactures high-quality, high-performance, sustainable battery solutions for multiple applications to meet the requirements of its customers,” AESC said in a Feb. 12 filing.
