Microtex Energy Private Limited

Since 1969, Microtex Energy Private Limited has manufactured industrial lead-acid battery systems for underground mining, critical infrastructure, motive power, railways, and standby applications. Its engineering process begins with the operating duty, including load duration, temperature, charging arrangements, maintenance conditions, and mechanical environment. The company specifies cell type, capacity, electrolyte density, charging profile, trays, restraint, and containment according to those conditions. Its portfolio includes 2V OPzS cells and traction cells, alongside batteries for railway signalling, coaches, locomotives, starter fleets, substations, plant DC systems, and UPS installations. Seismic qualification for its 2V OPzS cells includes Resonance Search, OBE, and SSE testing to IEEE Std 344:2013 at CPRI Bengaluru.

The company maintains an integrated manufacturing chain for alloys, oxide, plates, gauntlets, and separators, while its Microtex Group sister company, Kruger Industries, moulds the battery containers and covers. Independent chemical and electrical laboratories operate separately from production and design, using Bitrode and Digatron life-cycle test systems and spark emission analysis for incoming materials. CPRI capacity testing is cited for traction cells at the C5 rate, and the company supports witnessed factory acceptance tests, tender documentation, commissioning, and warranty work. Its environmental management system is certified to ISO 14001:2015 for the design, manufacture, supply, and service of batteries and components. As a registered producer under India's Battery Waste Management Rules, it channels used batteries through authorised recycling routes rather than landfill or incineration.
