Reliance Industries (BOM:500325, NSE:RELIANCE) is in talks with battery giant Contemporary Amperex Technology (SHE:300750, HKG:3750) and other suppliers to purchase battery energy storage system parts, Bloomberg reported Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.

The Indian giant's move could help it obtain a second major source of battery parts for its upcoming factory in Jamnagar, Gujarat, India, the report said, citing the sources.

That source will beef up supplies from Xiamen Hithium Energy Storage Technology, Bloomberg said.

Reliance has faced roadblocks in obtaining technological know-how to produce lithium-ion battery cells, pushing the company to rely on packaging pre-manufactured battery cells into big ones amid Beijing's export controls on battery technology, Bloomberg said.

Reliance and CATL did not immediately respond to requests for comment from MT Newswires.
