EKA Mobility has announced that it will launch the country’s largest range of electric commercial vehicles at the Bharat Mobility Auto Expo 2025. The premier mobility show is scheduled to be held between 17 January 2025 and 22 January 2025 in Delhi. 
The range of electric commercial vehicles the company will unveil will amount to over 11 platforms such as electric buses that cover city, intercity and shuttle applications with industry-leading technology; electric trucks that feature medium and heavy-duty variants designed for intra-city and long-haul logistics, and electric small commercial vehicles that are modular and scalable. They also capable of catering to niche and specific applications for both passenger and cargo transportation.
The company will also debut EKA Connect at the show. It is a state-of-the-art fleet management platform designed to optimise vehicle performance and enhance operational efficiency.
Speaking about the company’s plans for Bharat Mobility show, Dr Sudhir Mehta, Founder and Chairman, EKA Mobility and Pinnacle Industries Limited, expressed, “With the launch of our largest range of electric commercial vehicles, we are introducing a new era of intelligent and sustainable transportation. It is a testament to India’s growing leadership in electric mobility innovation and manufacturing. Our new range redefines what is possible in sustainable transportation, combining innovation, versatility, and performance to meet the diverse needs of businesses and communities."
Recognised under the Government’s Auto PLI scheme, EKA Mobility has Mitsui & Co. (Japan) and VDL Groep (Netherlands) as equity partners. 
 

Ergon Labs, a start-up working on electric vehicle powertrain technologies has inked a strategic partnership with Delhi-NCR-based EV maker Omega Seiki to supply its cutting-edge Integrated Power Converter (IPC), which combines an on-board charger and motor controller into a single unit.

As per the understanding, Omega Seiki has placed an order worth INR 500 million to Ergon Labs for supply of IPC in its L5 electric three-wheelers. The partnership also includes a strategic investment by Uday Narang, Founder and Chairman, Omega Seiki, who will join the Ergon Labs' Advisory Board.

Ergon’s IPC is claimed to offer 30 percent (17 degrees) gradeability, with peak torque operation extended from the industry-standard 1 minute to 3-5 minutes.

Around 50 percent faster charging, which allows the EV to get a range of over 50 km in under an hour using any standard 15A socket. Upto 30 percent lower system cost compared to conventional separate on-board chargers and motor controllers. This leads to significant reduction in wiring harness complexity.

The partners have announced that the first commercial deployment of 2,000 units is planned across India in FY26, starting with the L5 Passenger segment — a rapidly growing market fuelled by aggregators like Rapido, Ola and Uber, and increasing adoption in metro cities and regional centres.

They are also jointly developing a high-performance L5 Cargo electric vehicle capable of handling over 500 kg payload with 30 percent gradeability, targeting diesel vehicle replacement in markets such as Kerala and the North East.

Ashwin Ramanujam, CEO, Ergon Labs, said, “This partnership with Omega Seiki is a pivotal milestone in Ergon’s mission to bring breakthrough innovations in light EV powertrains to market. OSM’s vehicles will see meaningful improvements in gradeability, payload capacity and charging reliability – all enabled by deep component integration at both hardware and software levels. This moment represents the culmination of three years of relentless product development by our engineering team. More importantly, it sets the stage for our next major innovation: one-hour home charging for two-wheelers, launching in 2026.”

Uday Narang, added, “After over three decades of bold investments across global financial markets, I returned to India with a mission to drive environmental and economic impact through engineering-led innovation. Omega Seiki was born out of that vision. My investment in Ergon is a continuation of this commitment. From my first conversation with Ashwin to witnessing their technology’s performance first-hand, it was clear that Ergon brings world-class engineering to India’s EV ecosystem. I’m excited to partner with this exceptional team and bring their breakthrough product to market.”

European auto major Stellantis aims to introduce a new set of electric vehicles developed with its Chinese partner – Leapmotor, in India by end-2025, according to a Reuters report.

The revelation was made by Tianshu Xin, head of China operations for Stellantis and CEO of its joint venture, Leapmotor International on the sidelines of Auto Shanghai 2025. He said, “With the size of the automotive market, India certainly has a lot of potential as well. We're accelerating entering into the Indian market.”

The report further stated that Xin acknowledged the fact that while India was a potentially huge market for Leapmotors, but it would be difficult to make a profit in the country.

At present, Stellantis operates a manufacturing facility in Hosur, Tamil Nadu, where it produces gearboxes and engines. It has also set up a software and technology centre in Bengaluru to support its domestic and global products. It currently sells the Jeep and Citroen vehicles in India.

On the other hand, Leapmotor has a portfolio of models across mini hatchback, sedan saloon and SUVs.

Following up to media reports, Stellantis India has confirmed the development. 

Shailesh Hazela, CEO & Managing Director, Stellantis India, said, "We’re excited to announce the entry of Leapmotor brand in India, thereby strengthening our commitment to the market. We already have a strong presence in India with our Jeep and Citroën brands, and we deeply understand the strategic importance and immense potential that the Indian market holds. Globally, Leapmotor is redefining electric mobility with a strong focus on innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction. We look forward to bringing premium EVs to India's upwardly mobile consumers—vehicles that redefine modern driving with cutting-edge technology, comfort, and sustainability."

Charge Zone, a leading electric vehicle charging company, has announced that it has attained a major milestone by expanding its network to over 13,500 charging stations. This, the company claims, makes it the largest EV charging platform in the country.
