Energy in Motion Ltd (EIM) has inaugurated an electric heavy commercial vehicle complex at Ambi in Talegaon, Pune, following an investment of ₹500 crore. The facility brings together electric heavy commercial vehicle assembly, lithium-ion battery pack assembly and an independent battery testing laboratory at a single location.
The complex was inaugurated by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis in the presence of Rajya Sabha MP Sharadchandra Pawar and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Sunetra Ajit Pawar on October 14, 2026.
The Industry 4.0-enabled facility was developed in just over a year after the company signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU). It has an initial stated capacity of 5,000 vehicles per shift per year and forms the first phase of EIM's planned ₹1,000 crore investment in Maharashtra. The company expects the project to generate more than 2,000 direct and indirect jobs, alongside opportunities in design, research and development (R&D), and IT.
Energy in Motion plans battery swapping and charging network
Alongside vehicle and battery manufacturing, EIM is developing a nationwide network of battery-swapping and charging infrastructure along major highways, ports and industrial complexes.
According to the company, its megawatt-scale hubs will be able to swap batteries in compatible EIM vehicles and other compatible makes in less than seven minutes. The hubs will also offer fast charging for vehicles equipped with a DC fast-charging socket conforming to the CCS-2 standard under the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).
EIM's technology partners include BAIC Foton Motor for electric heavy commercial vehicles, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co Ltd (CATL) for battery technology, and Shanghai Enneagon Energy Technology Co Ltd for robotic battery-swapping systems. The company says these partnerships support its vehicle manufacturing, battery and infrastructure operations.
EIM targets electric freight transportation
The Talegaon complex combines vehicle assembly, battery pack assembly and testing within one facility. EIM is also developing charging and swapping infrastructure intended to support electric freight operations across highways, logistics hubs, ports and industrial freight corridors.
Managing director Narendra Murkumbi said the company would focus on expanding its network of megawatt-scale charging and battery-swapping stations to support the transition from diesel-powered heavy goods vehicles to electric alternatives.
