Musashi India, a manufacturer of two-wheeler and four-wheeler transmission components in India, has announced its foray into the E-mobility space in the Indian market.

Focused on building high-performance and safe auto components, Musashi, a 100% owned subsidiary of Musashi Seimitsu Industries, Japan will manufacture the E-Axle at its Bengaluru plant starting October 2023. Musashi will spend Rs 70 crore in phase-1 to set up an assembly line for the product at its existing manufacturing facility in Bengaluru.

The company has announced expansion into E-mobility through a strategic collaboration with Bharat New-Energy Company (BNC) Motors in India. It has already signed an MoU with Strom in Thailand, EV Go in Vietnam, and Arc Ride in Kenya, and will supply them E- Axles manufactured in India.
