Phase I of a million-tonne-class LFP (lithium iron phosphate) pyro-process project at the Bijie High-tech Zone is in its final sprint, with commissioning expected in August. Developed by the Guizhou subsidiary of a global top-tier cathode materials producer, the project represents a total investment of RMB 7.32 billion on 873 mu, with an overall plan of 1.04 million tpa of LFP cathode material in three phases — Phase I alone at 340,000 tpa — plus a parallel 520,000 tpa wet-process LFP precursor line. Full-capacity output is projected at roughly RMB 30 billion in annual revenue. The producer has separately announced plans to invest about RMB 4.30 billion in additional LFP precursor and cathode capacity, noting that as demand for fast-charging EV cells and large-capacity storage cells accelerates in 2026, the shortage of high-compaction LFP capacity may deepen further.
