The Eveready Kolkata plant is located in the Kolkata Port hinterland on Transport Depot Road in the Taratola Industrial Area of western Kolkata. This is Eveready’s first modernised plant.
This plant was established in 1956 and commissioned as a Zinc Calot Manufacturing Facility in 1957. It holds the distinction of having the first Zinc Rolling Mill in Southeast Asia in 1957.
In 1973, specialised Anti-Corrosive Non-Ferrous Alloy facilities for batteries and non-battery applications were installed to meet growing demand in this sector.
The Kolkata plant has grown into a vibrant manufacturing hub with the installation of the R&D Centre in 1997, Rechargeable Battery manufacturing facilities in 2007, CFL and LED Testing Facilities in 2011, and Luminaires R&D in 2016.
