TATA.ev, the electric vehicle brand for Tata Motors, has achieved the milestone of having over 200,000 EVs on road.

The company shared that cumulatively its EVs have covered more than five billion kilometres in five years, which translates to reducing 700,000 tonnes of CO2 emission. Interestingly, 8,000 TATA.ev customers have surpassed 100,000km on their green vehicles.

It maybe recollected that it was just recently that Tata Motors’ Open Collaboration 2.0 to further drive EV adoption in the country. The EV maker is working together with Charge Point Operators (CPOs) to support scaling up fast public charging network from 18,000 to 30,000 along with 400,000 charging points nationwide by 2027.

Furthermore, for the next 45 days the company will provide limited period exclusive benefits to not only encourage new customers to adopt sustainable and emission free electric mobility, but also allow current Tata Motors passenger and electric vehicle owners to upgrade to a new EV.

The benefits range from exchange bonus, 100 percent on-road finance options, free charging benefit of 6 months at any Tata Power charging station, and free installation of a 7.2 kW AC Fast home Charger.

A loyalty bonus of up to INR 50,000 will also be offered as incentive.

Vivek Srivatsa, Chief Commercial Officer, Tata Passenger Electric Mobility, said, “Our foray into electric mobility began with a bold and visionary commitment to advancing India towards a future of meaningful mobility – one that is smart, safe, and fundamentally green. Since we unveiled the Nexon.ev in 2020, we have championed EV adoption to greater heights with over 2 lakh Tata EVs on Indian roads cementing our position as India’s largest EV 4-wheeler manufacturer. We share this success with our partners across the ecosystem – dealers, suppliers, charge point operators, and crucially, our customers, who believe in our vision to democratise cutting-edge technology. By introducing these exclusive benefits, we welcome more customers to join us in this revolution and reaffirm our commitment to grow acceptance of EVs as a technology for a cleaner, greener tomorrow.”

Indofast Energy, a joint venture between Sun Mobility and Indian Oil Corporation, has partnered Green Tiger Mobility, a retrofitting company for two-wheelers for driving EV adoption.

As per the understanding, Green Tiger Mobility’s ARAI-approved retrofit solution will convert petrol two-wheelers to electric-powered two-wheelers. Furthermore, to tackle the challenge of long-charging time, the retrofitted two-wheelers will adopt Indofast Energy’s battery swapping technology.

The retrofit company shared that it’s solution encompasses RTO approval, insurance and other regulatory requirements along with financial solutions to support customers. At present, the retrofit solution is available for 11 scooter models – Hero MotoCorp’s Maestro & Pleasure, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India’s Activa, Aviator, Dio & Cliq, Suzuki Motorcycle India’s Access & Swish, TVS Motor Co’s Jupiter & Wego and Yamaha Fascino.

The company has introduced the service in Bengaluru and will soon be expanded to Delhi NCR and the rest of the country in the next 12 to 15 months. Furthermore, the initial focus will be on quick commerce delivery executives, which will later be extended to the mass market.

Currently, Green Tiger Mobility claims it has over 500 customers in Bengaluru, and its solution is backed by six approved patents.

Rajat Malhan, Senior Vice-President, Indofast Energy, said, “Imagine your reliable petrol scooter, reborn as a sleek, battery-swappable EV. No new vehicle purchase, just a smart, sustainable upgrade! This partnership is a significant step towards green mobility for a cleaner India, while reducing fuel costs, cutting emissions, and supporting India’s EV adoption goals. We look forward to the change this partnership will bring in the lives of millions of gig workers.”

Ashish Dokania, Founder, Green Tiger Mobility, said, “At Green Tiger, we believe the future of mobility is not just about new electric vehicles but it’s about transforming millions of petrol two-wheelers already on our roads. Our retrofit solution, powered by Indofast’s swappable batteries bridges the gap between sustainability and practicality—giving people an easy way to embrace electric without replacing their trusted rides.”

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.”
