Chinese company Dongjin Group has announced plans to invest $15 million in a new Lithium Battery manufacturing plant in Pakistan. The facility will be established at Allama Iqbal Industrial City in Faisalabad.
The project is expected to support Pakistan’s growing demand for batteries as the country sees increased use of electric vehicles and solar energy systems.
Officials said the new Lithium Battery plant will help strengthen local manufacturing and reduce dependence on imported battery products in the future.
The investment is also expected to create new employment opportunities and encourage technology transfer in Pakistan’s industrial sector.
According to officials, the project will operate under Special Economic Zone benefits available at Allama Iqbal Industrial City. These incentives include tax exemptions and support for foreign investors.
Authorities believe the project could become an important step toward improving Pakistan’s renewable energy and electric vehicle sectors.
Experts say local production of Lithium Battery systems can help reduce pressure on imported fuel and support cleaner energy alternatives across the country.
Pakistan has witnessed rising demand for battery storage systems due to the increasing popularity of solar power installations and electric vehicles in recent years.
Industry analysts believe local battery manufacturing can lower production costs and improve supply chain stability for businesses operating in the energy and automobile sectors.
The project is also being viewed as another sign of growing industrial cooperation between Pakistan and China.
Officials stated that the plant is expected to support local industries that rely on battery storage technology, including renewable energy companies and electric transport businesses.
Pakistan has been trying to attract more foreign investment in manufacturing, energy, and technology sectors to strengthen industrial growth and create jobs.
The Faisalabad-based industrial zone has already attracted several domestic and international investment projects under the country’s Special Economic Zone framework.
Experts believe the battery manufacturing sector could play an important role in Pakistan’s long-term energy transition strategy.
The increasing shift toward renewable energy and electric mobility has created strong demand for advanced battery storage solutions worldwide.
Officials hope the new manufacturing plant will help Pakistan become more competitive in emerging energy technologies while also reducing import dependency over time.
The project is expected to contribute to economic activity in Faisalabad and support industrial expansion in Punjab.
