The company is working on a wide range of models, including small commercial vehicles (SCVs) such as 3-seater and 6-seater passenger EVs, 3W cargo carriers, 2.5-tonne cargo vehicles, garage tippers, and 3.5-tonne cargo trucks for last-mile delivery. In the heavier segment, it is readying 7-tonne and 55-tonne trucks, currently under trial, for commercial launch in the coming months.

"In the next two years, we will have a full range of commercial EVs in our portfolio. The SCV range will be launched this festive season," Mehta said, adding that electric trucks will deliver the biggest cost advantage due to lower operating expenses compared with diesel vehicles.
