TL;DR:Adani Group has slammed reportsĀ claiming it's teaming up with Chinaās BYD or Welion for EV batteries š«š§.Called the claims ābaseless & misleadingā, while India watches every China link with suspicion .

Adaniās Electric Denial Shocks the Circuitā”
One viral media report claimed that Gautam Adaniās group was in talks with Chinaās BYD and WelionĀ for a big-ticket electric battery project.
But by 4 August 2025, Adani issued a firm denial:
āWe strongly deny any discussions or plans for collaborations with BYD or Welion.ā š
They called the claims āfactually incorrect, baseless, and misleading.ā
So, why did this buzz even start? And whatās really going on?
Where Did the China Tie-Up Buzz Begin?š¤
A business portal hinted at a possible JV (joint venture) with Chinese battery biggiesĀ to boost Adaniās EV storage plans.
Why did it go viral?
Indiaās EV push is in overdrive
China leads global battery tech
Adani is seen as the frontrunner for Indiaās Gigafactory dreams š
Hence, āAdani + BYD = Global EV power?āĀ vibe spread like wildfire on investor WhatsApp groups .
Why Adaniās Denial MattersšØ
This isnāt just about one companyās PR.
With India tightening scrutiny on Chinese investments post-Galwan, any such tie-up would face regulatory fireĀ .
Adani's statement may also be read as:
Playing safe with the Indian government
Avoiding market jitters or nationalist backlash
Keeping focus on Make-in-India battery techĀ
So... Who Gains & Who Loses?šø
š AdaniĀ gains goodwill from desi investors and policymakers for distancing from China. BYD and Welion, if they were ever in talks, lose a giant Indian partner. Indian EV startupsĀ now wonder: Will Adani build battery power on its own? Or with a non-Chinese friend?
What Does It Mean for You? (Youth & EV Gen) šµ
If you're:
Dreaming of an #EVJob, keep watch on domestic cell & storage gigs coming up.
A #Techie or #BatteryEngineer, thereās likely desi hiringĀ on the way.
A rider or gig-worker, better batteries = better mileage = less cost per km
India wants its EV backbone made at homeĀ ā no reliance on risky imports. And that could mean more jobs, more control, and better pricing š®š³
MediaFx Takešļø
Adaniās quick denial is not just corporate hygieneāitās geo-political messaging. In a post-Galwan India, big firms are walking a tightrope: grow fast, but not on China's dime. šØš³
But the bigger story?š„ Indiaās hunger for clean tech is real.š ļø The race to build gigafactoriesĀ is on. And the one who wins? The one who builds with trust and transparency.
