Gensol Electric Vehicles, a subsidiary of Gensol Engineering, one of India’s largest green energy engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) and advisory companies, is gearing up to launch three EVs targeted at Fleet, Cargo and Personal mobility segment. 

It does not aim to look at the electric two-wheeler or four-wheeler segment, but instead have a razor-sharp focus on its upcoming three-wheeler EVs, which have already got ARAI approval in February 2024.  

While the company has not officially announced the exact details of the launch or the vehicle specifications, Anmol Singh Jaggi, Chairman & MD, Gensol Engineering in a recent analyst call, revealed that the company’s focus is “only three-wheels and are not thinking beyond that”. 

He further stated that Gensol EV will test the vehicles for “one more season”, which may translate to a launch happening only in CY2025.

The compact two-door two-seater electric three-wheeled car will be manufactured at its Chakan plant in Pune, which has annual capacity of 30,000 units per annum. 

The EV has been tested in temperature upto 52 degrees and the company claims that the “car performed so well in such a high temperature.”

“As we are making car for the first time, and when we make the car for the first time there is a little bit of nervousness in your heart and excitement as well. To reduce that nervousness, we are thinking of testing our car for one more year and bringing it on the road. We get a chance to launch it once in our life. And we want to launch it in a very good, big bang way. And we want to bring a perfect car. I would not want that Gensol’s car gets launch, and it seems like it had two defects and we could have tested it a little more. So, the benefit is that we can wait for two, five, six months, but when the vehicle comes to the road, it is the best vehicle in India. So, our design and our testing is going into accomplish that mission,” revealed Jaggi.

Furthermore, Gensol Engineering’s subsidiary Let’s EV is also gearing up to be a leading leasing company focussed on all aspects of electric mobility – two-wheelers, three-wheelers, four-wheelers,  M&HCVs and buses. The business saw a revenue of INR 500 million for Q1 FY2025, up 98 percent, while losses came at INR 170 million, being a nascent business for the firm.

JSW MG Motor India is set to expand its EV portfolio with the MG Windsor Pro, which is set to be introduced on 6 May 2025.

Launched on 11 September 2024, the company positioned the Windsor as a CUV (crossover utility vehicle) and the most comfortable EV in its segment.

The Windsor EV has already surpassed 20,000 units sales since launch, and has been the highest selling electric passenger vehicle for the last several months in a row.
