Xbattery, a Hyderabad-based deeptech startup, raised $2.3 million in seed funding led by the Bipin Patel Family Office with participation from Jhaveri Credits to accelerate BharatBMS, a homegrown high-voltage battery management platform for EVs and stationary storage. The round will fund R&D hiring, prototype iterations, and pilot-to-production transitions with OEMs and energy developers.
BharatBMS integrates cell monitoring, thermal management, safety interlocks, embedded firmware, and analytics to improve reliability and lifespan in Indian operating conditions. The roadmap includes predictive diagnostics, warranty control features, and standardized interfaces that shorten integration timelines across vehicle categories and storage systems.
Domestic BMS IP is increasingly strategic as electrification scales, reducing import dependence while improving certification timelines and cost structures. Xbattery’s focus on control electronics and software addresses critical bottlenecks that influence safety, uptime, and total cost of ownership.
Near-term milestones include pilot deployments, supplier partnerships to de-risk component availability, and early commercial wins in fleet and C&I storage segments. With EV penetration and grid-scale storage accelerating, robust, localized BMS technology is foundational infrastructure for India’s energy transition.
