MLB Industrial

MLB Industrial Pty Ltd is an Australian engineering company focussed on developing and commercialising innovative lithium-ion battery systems for heavy duty mobile industrial applications.

Their flagship product is a high-performance locomotive starting battery that replaces traditional lead-acid systems to enable automatic engine stop-start (AESS) functionality, reduce diesel fuel consumption, and eliminate battery maintenance.

Already successfully deployed in Australia’s freight rail sector, MLB Industrial pride themselves on a solution that delivers substantial environmental, safety, and operational benefits.

Through the RISE Accelerator, they aim to explore opportunities for commercialising this technology in the Indian market, where rail electrification and clean energy initiatives are creating demand for innovative battery solutions. They are particularly interested in collaborating with Indian Railways and industrial operators to support decarbonisation and improve energy resilience.

“India has always been on our radar as a high-potential export market, but the complexity of entering such a large and unique market made it difficult to prioritise. The RISE Accelerator has changed that. We hope the program will give us the insight, structure, and confidence we needed to seriously explore opportunities in India. We hope to develop a clear pathway to building meaningful partnerships and expanding our impact in this strategic market.”
