Nanovace Technologies Ltd, a subsidiary of PCBL Chemical Ltd, on Monday said it has secured a patent from the US for its proprietary method of developing nanomaterials targeted at next-generation energy storage technologies.
The patent marks a significant milestone in the company's R&D efforts, bolstering its intellectual property portfolio in the energy storage space, according to a regulatory filing.
“This validates our technological innovation and opens new opportunities for partnerships, licensing and potential commercialisation in global markets,” the company said.
Nanovace is currently constructing a pilot plant at PCBL’s Palej site in Gujarat, expected to be ready by the third quarter of FY'26, to demonstrate the industrial scalability of the patented technology.
PCBL Chemical holds a 51% stake in Nanovace Technologies, while the remaining 49% is owned by Kindia Private Ltd.
The joint venture focuses on developing nanosilicon materials for use in lithium-ion battery anodes.
PCBL, in the past, said it was planning to invest USD 44 million in Nanovace, aimed at acquiring intellectual property, establishing the pilot plant, and subsequently setting up a commercial-scale manufacturing facility.
