TACC Secures ₹609 Crore Incentive for Dewas Graphite Project

On 11 November 2026, TACC Ltd received approval for a ₹609 crore incentive under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology’s Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme. The incentive is for its synthetic graphite anode material project at Sirsoda Industrial Area in Dewas, Madhya Pradesh. TACC Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary of HEG Advanced Materials.

Project capacity and timeline

The facility is planned across 100 acres, with scaled capacity exceeding 30,000 tonnes per annum by FY29. Its first phase, with capacity of 20,000 tonnes per annum, is scheduled for commissioning by June 2027.

Important Facts for Exams

• Synthetic production: Synthetic graphite is usually produced by thermally graphitising hydrocarbon materials above 2,100°C, commonly using the Acheson process.
• Discharge polarity: In a discharging battery, the anode is the negative electrode from which electrons flow into the external circuit.
• Layered crystal structure: Graphite comprises stacked sheets of carbon atoms arranged in hexagonal networks; strong in-plane bonds contrast with weaker forces between adjacent layers.
• Lithium intercalation: During charging, lithium ions enter graphite’s layered structure from the electrolyte and occupy spaces between carbon sheets, a process called intercalation.
