Pune, June 5, 2026: EKA Mobility, one of India's leading electric commercial vehicle manufacturers, has achieved an important milestone. The company recently rolled out its 1,000th Small Commercial Vehicle (SCV) from its manufacturing plant in Chakan, Pune. This achievement marks a significant step in EKA Mobility's journey and highlights its growing role in supporting clean and sustainable transportation across India.
The company continues to focus on developing electric vehicles that help businesses reduce emissions while improving daily transportation needs. In addition, this milestone reflects the rising demand for electric commercial vehicles in the country.
EKA Mobility is a Champion OEM under the Government of India's Auto PLI Scheme. The company also receives support from global partners such as VDL Groep from the Netherlands, Mitsui & Co. from Japan, NIIF India-Japan Fund, and Enam Holdings.
As part of the celebrations, EKA Mobility handed over its 1,000th vehicle, the EKA 6S, to the Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati Trust in Pune. The trust is well known for its charitable and social service activities.
The EKA 6S stands out as India's first steering-wheel passenger electric three-wheeler with seating for a driver and six passengers. The trust plans to use the vehicle for its community service activities. Therefore, the handover represents a meaningful connection between social service and sustainable mobility.
In another important moment, EKA Mobility handed over an EKA 3S electric three-wheeler to H.E. Marisa Gerards, Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to India.
This handover added an international touch to the event. Moreover, it highlighted the growing partnership between India and the Netherlands in promoting green transportation solutions. The Netherlands has long supported sustainable mobility and is also home to VDL Groep, one of EKA Mobility's strategic partners.
As a result, this gesture reflected the shared goal of both countries to support cleaner and greener transportation systems.
The Chakan facility serves as EKA Mobility's dedicated manufacturing hub for trucks and small commercial vehicles. Since its launch, the plant has expanded rapidly to meet the growing demand for electric commercial vehicles.
Currently, the facility can produce up to 24,000 commercial vehicles every year. Furthermore, more than 1,000 people work at the plant, helping drive production and innovation.
The facility also houses a modern research and development centre. Here, over 400 engineers and designers work on developing new technologies and improving vehicle performance.
Under its EvolutioNARI initiative, EKA Mobility has created an all-women-led assembly line for its small commercial vehicles. This initiative demonstrates the company's commitment to creating more opportunities for women in manufacturing.
At the same time, it supports a more diverse and inclusive workforce. Perhaps this initiative also encourages more women to join India's growing automotive sector.
The milestone comes at a time when electric commercial vehicles are gaining popularity across several industries. Businesses involved in passenger transport, e-commerce deliveries, FMCG distribution, and last-mile logistics increasingly prefer electric vehicles because of their environmental and operational benefits.
As demand continues to grow, companies like EKA Mobility play a key role in supporting India's transition toward cleaner transportation.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Sudhir Mehta, Founder & Chairman, EKA Mobility said:
"The 1,000th SCV rolling off our Chakan facility is not merely a production number; it is proof of what Indian engineering, innovation, and determination can achieve. It reflects years of perseverance and a shared belief that India can emerge as a global leader in sustainable mobility through world-class products designed and manufactured at home. As we celebrate this achievement on World Environment Day, we are reminded that our purpose extends beyond manufacturing vehicles. We are building solutions that help businesses operate more sustainably, reduce environmental impact, improve everyday mobility, and contribute to a cleaner future for generations to come."
He further added:
"All our manufacturing plants are smart, lean, and technology-driven facilities built to scale rapidly. As India’s electric commercial vehicle market accelerates, EKA is perfectly positioned to be the preferred partner for operators seeking reliable, zero-emission vehicles."
EKA Mobility currently offers a complete range of electric commercial vehicles, including three-wheelers, small commercial vehicles, buses, and trucks. The company designs, develops, and manufactures these vehicles in India, supporting the Government's Atmanirbhar Bharat vision.
Today, EKA operates three manufacturing facilities, including its bus plant at Koregaon Bhima and its trucks and SCV plant at Chakan in Pune. In addition, the company is developing a new 47-acre manufacturing facility in Pithampur.
Once fully operational, EKA Mobility's facilities will support annual production capacities of 15,000 buses, 24,000 small commercial vehicles, and 4,000 trucks.
