It will be a 6HP electric tractor (equivalent to 21HP diesel tractor). On a single charge, the tractor can provide a range up to 75kms with the max power of 18 HP and 53 Nm peak torque with the top speed of up to 20 kmph. It takes 6 hours to charge this electric tractor with a home charger using any conventional single-phase 16 Amps outlet and with an industrial infrastructure setup it can be charged fast in two hours said Syed Mubasheer Ali, co-founder & partner, Cellestial E-Mobility.

If we look at its running cost, the conventional 21HP diesel tractor running cost is around Rs 150 per hour whereas the Cellestial E-Mobility Tractor it will be around Rs. 20-35 per hour.
