American Marconi Wireless News - Electrovaya Receives the Make More in America Deal of the Year Award at Export-Import Bank of the United States' 2025 Annual Conference

With manufacturing in Jamestown, New York, Electrovaya is a dynamic business, specializing in the development and manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries for a variety of applications. In November 2024, the Board of Directors of EXIM approved a nearly $51 million direct loan to support the interior construction of a manufacturing facility and procure equipment for lithium-ion battery cell and module production lines that will aid in the company's increased production capacity. In addition to supporting an estimated 290 U.S. jobs, the transaction will also see the reshoring of a critical part of the production cycle from overseas competitors.

"EXIM remains committed to the expansion of domestic exports and rebuilding of a resilient stateside critical minerals supply chain," said Acting President and Chairman Jim Cruse. "The financing we were able to provide Electrovaya further underscores our dedication to supporting American businesses while enhancing U.S. manufacturing and reinforcing the country's economic security."

"EXIM's support has been instrumental in accelerating Electrovaya's growth in the U.S. and to support the company's domestic manufacturing plans. Through EXIM's support, Electrovaya will be reshoring considerable production from Asia," said Raj DasGupta, Chief Executive Officer of Electrovaya. "The company is witnessing significant interest for its U.S.-manufactured products and expects to quickly ramp up production. The financing support enables us to expand battery manufacturing, scale production, and bring our safe, long-lasting lithium-ion technology to more customers." The expansion of the manufacturing facility will allow Electrovaya to produce battery cells and modules which are currently produced in China, and therefore also falls under EXIM's China and Transformational Exports Program.
