About VoltCore Energy

From a small workshop in Pune to a global manufacturing powerhouse — 26 years of relentless innovation.

Our Story

Power Born From Passion

VoltCore Energy was founded in 1998 by Dr. Arjun Sharma, a battery electrochemist, with a singular conviction: India deserved world-class batteries made on home soil. Starting with a team of 12 engineers and a 5,000 sq ft facility in Pune's Pimpri Chinchwad industrial belt, we produced our first batch of 500 automotive batteries.

By 2005, we had expanded to a 200,000 sq ft facility and launched our first export consignment to Sri Lanka. The renewable energy boom of 2012 pushed us into solar batteries, and the EV revolution of 2018 saw us build South Asia's first dedicated EV battery production line.

Today, VoltCore operates two world-class plants with a combined capacity of 1.2 million units per month, employs 4,800 people, and exports to 48 countries — all while remaining headquartered in Pune where it all began.
