Jindal Mobilitric, a subsidiary of Jindal Worldwide Limited, has unveiled its R40 electric vehicle model with a range of 165 kilometers. The company has submitted the model for government homologation and expects approval soon.
The vehicle represents Jindal Worldwide's entry into the electric mobility sector. The company has established a manufacturing facility in Ahmedabad with production capacity of 250,000 vehicles annually. A separate in-house battery manufacturing plant operates with similar capacity.
Jindal Mobilitric currently operates through 35 dealers across India and plans to expand to 100 dealerships within the next year. The company stated that its production facility is operational and ready to begin vehicle rollout once regulatory approval is obtained.
The R40 model was developed through in-house research and development efforts. The company established its own battery manufacturing facility to ensure safety standards and support faster adoption of electric vehicles in India.
