Himadri Speciality Chemical has further strengthened its strategic partnership with International Battery Company, Inc. (IBC), a U.S. headquartered technology developer and manufacturer of chemistry-agnostic prismatic Lithium-ion (Li-ion) cells, through an additional investment of $0.66 million. Prior to this investment, the company had invested an aggregate of $5.43 million in IBC and held a 17.29% stake on a fully diluted basis. With the latest investment, the company's aggregated stake has increased to 20.47% on a fully diluted basis, comprising both common and preferred stock. The increased investment reflects the meaningful progress achieved through the partnership over the past year and its continued confidence in IBC's technology platform, commercialization roadmap, and long-term growth potential.

This partnership marks a significant milestone for Himadri Speciality Chemical, supporting the commercial deployment of its Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) Cathode Active Materials and advanced Anode Materials. Through this alliance, the company gains strategic access to IBC's advanced battery technology capabilities, its R&D centre in California, manufacturing facility in South Korea, and the upcoming Gigafactory in Bengaluru, India.

The collaboration creates significant strategic value for both companies. For Himadri Speciality Chemical, the partnership strengthens its downstream integration within the battery value chain. By leveraging IBC's cutting-edge battery technology, AI-driven research capabilities, and established manufacturing infrastructure in South Korea, Himadri Speciality Chemical is able to fast-track the transition of its cathode and anode materials from laboratory development to real-world applications while IBC secures access to a reliable supply of high-quality cathode and anode materials that are critical to battery performance, safety, and cost competitiveness.

Himadri Speciality Chemical is primarily engaged in the manufacturing of carbon materials and chemicals. The company has operations in India and caters to both domestic and international markets.
