EKA Mobility

Buses, trucks and SCVs designed and developed in-house, with ARAI homologation for central motor vehicle rules (CMVR) compliance.

11 products developed across three segments — e-buses, e-SCVs and e-trucks — covering 7m/9m/12m buses, intercity coaches, and multiple SCV/truck configurations.

Combines Pinnacle Industries' local automotive component/manufacturing base, VDL Groep's European E-Bus engineering, and Mitsui's global trading network.

State road transport corporations procuring electric buses under public tenders, e.g. UPSRTC, Kerala SRTC, and transport departments in Haryana, Arunachal Pradesh and Rajasthan.

Orders routed through government aggregators/schemes such as Convergence Energy Services Ltd (CESL) and the PM e-Bus Sewa scheme.

Fleet operators buying electric SCVs and trucks outright for last-mile logistics and freight.

EKA's dealership network is built on a '3S' model (Sales, Service, Spare Parts), giving customers expert in-person guidance when purchasing plus dedicated ongoing service and genuine spare parts support afterward -- e.g. the all-range Mumbai dealership opened with partner Rajas Ride in October 2025.

EKA Connect, part of the company's EKA Stack, gives fleet-operator customers a self-service digital layer of data-powered insights for managing their electric vehicles.

Bus orders won primarily through competitive public tenders floated by state transport undertakings and central schemes.

Direct-to-fleet and dealer/distribution partnerships to sell electric SCVs and trucks to private commercial customers.

EKA runs 'smart lean' manufacturing operations across 4 plants (30,000+ sq. m of manufacturing space) to produce its electric buses, trucks and SCVs, with a stated annual production capacity of over 20,000 EVCVs.

EKA designs its bus platform in-house with a modular, monocoque architecture and puts it through ARAI testing/certification, most recently securing the Automotive PLI certificate in May 2025 for what the company describes as a vertically integrated approach spanning product development, supply-chain localisation and technology.

EKA develops and integrates its own electric powertrain systems -- traction motors, controllers, vehicle control units and battery management systems -- for its bus and commercial-vehicle range, working with specialist partners such as KPIT Technologies to accelerate this engineering.
