EKA Accelerates Expansion with Bold Commercial EV Plans

EKA, a fast-emerging name in India’s electric mobility sector, is gearing up for a rapid expansion with an ambitious plan to launch a new product every six months. The company’s strategy aims to build a comprehensive commercial EV portfolio—covering last-mile delivery, medium-haul, and heavy-duty transport.

Key Highlights of the Expansion Plan

• Diverse Portfolio: Upcoming launches include small commercial vehicles (SCVs), three-wheeler cargo carriers, and electric trucks spanning 2.5 to 55 tonnes.
• Capacity Boost: EKA will double its e-bus production to 10,000 units annually by FY27, split between its Pune hub and the new Pithampur plant.
• New Product Lines: An 18-metre articulated coach and an all-new SCV range are set to hit the market this festive season.

Why This Matters

Despite buses accounting for less than 1% of vehicles in India, they contribute nearly 15% of the country’s CO₂ emissions. Yet, electric bus penetration stood at just 3.1% in FY25. This gap highlights a massive opportunity for electrification in the commercial transport sector.

EKA’s strategy aligns with the government’s aggressive clean mobility targets under initiatives like the PM E-Drive scheme. By addressing every segment of commercial transport—from last-mile logistics to long-haul trucking—the company is positioning itself as a transformative player in India’s EV ecosystem.

Leadership Vision

Commenting on the roadmap, Dr. Sudhir Mehta, Founder and Chairman of EKA, said:
“In the next two years, we will have a full range of commercial EVs in our portfolio.”

The Road Ahead

While the lack of widespread charging infrastructure remains a bottleneck, EKA is betting on focused deployment along key trucking corridors. If executed well, this approach could demonstrate the cost-effectiveness of EV fleets and accelerate adoption across India’s commercial transport industry.

EKA’s aggressive push signals not just company growth, but a critical step toward reducing emissions in one of the hardest-to-abate sectors of India’s economy.
