PURE EV Chalks Out An Expansion Plan

Entering the manufacture of electric motorcycles, PURE EV has chalked out an aggressive expansion plan for India and the globe. Over the next 30 months, the company will add 250 new dealerships in its domestic market, taking its total number of dealerships to over 320. This ambitious endeavour will help the Hyderabad-based electric two-wheeler maker to increase its reach manifold in the domestic market. 
Offering its electric two-wheelers – scooters and motorcycles – to the young and family men as well as to gig workers and small businessmen, the company is banking on its electric motorcycles as it feels that the demand for motorcycles is greater than that of the scooters. 
Stating that 70 percent of the two-wheeler market in India is dominated by motorcycles, Dr Nishanth Dongari, Founder and MD, PURE EV, averred, “PURE EV has recently supplied more than 300 e-motorcycles to the Tamil Nadu Forest Department and Tata Power in Odisha. Such collaborations not only drive sales but also demonstrate the growing adoption of e-motorcycles in fleet operations.”
Expressing that PURE EV is the first company to integrate Nano PCM (Phase Change Material) into its battery systems for efficient thermal management, Dongari said, “The company has already launched two models—the ecoDryft, which caters to the 110cc market, and the eTryst, which is designed to compete with the 125cc segment. These models leverage PURE EV’s innovative ‘X-Platform’ to deliver a mileage of 171 km/charge through advanced powertrain technology and advanced features such as hill hold, coasting regen, reverse mode etc.” 
Emphasising that the adoption of breakthrough technology in the form of ‘Nano PCM’, Dr Dongari explained, “The risk of un-safe thermal incidents are eliminated, ensuring superior safety for electric vehicles and boosting consumer confidence.” “Also improving battery performance significantly, the adoption of Nano PCM has not only enhanced the safety profile of our EVs,” he added. 
The global expansion plans of the company include Nepal and Bhutan. By the last quarter of the current financial year, the PURE EV is preparing to invade these markets. It is also preparing to step into the Middle East and African markets subsequently. 
To launch PuREPower – a revolutionary innovative product that can work as a back-up for households and small business in case of power outages while working as scooter and motorcycle batteries at other times – in the 2025 calendar year, PURE EV is catering to a customer base of 20,000 customers.

EMotorad

EMotorad, a leading bicycle brand, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Andhra Pradesh government to establish a manufacturing facility in Kuppam. The company has been allocated a 7-acre site for the plant, which will be part of the region's Green City Initiative.

The project is a collaboration with the Kuppam Area Development Authority (KADA) and IIT Kanpur. EMotorad expects the facility to produce electric cycles for markets in Andhra Pradesh and across India, while providing employment for the community.

Kunal Gupta, Co-Founder and CEO, EMotorad, said, "Kuppam holds a special place in EMotorad's journey. It's where we set our world record earlier this year, and that moment stayed with us. It made us want to put down roots here, not just pass through. Setting up this facility is just an indication of our intentions for a city that has given us so much. Beyond manufacturing, this is about building something lasting for the people of Kuppam, real jobs, real infrastructure, and a stake in India's clean mobility future. We're deeply thankful to Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu Garu for his leadership behind the Green City Initiative and for trusting us to be part of that story."

The Green City Initiative aims to develop Kuppam as a hub for sustainable development. Other organisations involved in the initiative include Mother Dairy, Adidas and Hindalco.

Komaki MG Pro V

New Delhi-based electric vehicle company Komaki has introduced two new e-scooters - the MG Pro V and MG Pro+, priced at INR 73,999 and INR 79,999, respectively, featuring metal-body construction, distinguishing them from the fibre-bodied scooters commonly found in this segment.

The MG Pro V offers a range of 90-100 km, while the MG Pro+ provides a range of over 150 km per charge. Both scooters use BLDC hub motors and LiFePO4 battery technology. Standard features across the models include front disc brakes, telescopic suspension, mobile app connectivity, an anti-theft lock, a parking assist system and a repair switch.

Gunjan Malhotra, Co-Founder, Komaki Electric Vehicles, said, "The electric two-wheeler market has grown rapidly, but affordability should never come at the cost of quality. With the MG Pro V and MG Pro+, we wanted to offer customers features that have traditionally been associated with more expensive vehicles. These include a strong metal body and safe, long-lasting LiFePO4 batteries with a longer lifespan than those found in many electric two-wheelers and ICE vehicles currently available in the market. This combination inspires confidence among customers. It also reflects our commitment to making premium build quality, dependable performance, and modern technology accessible to a much wider audience. We believe customers deserve products that not only look good but are built to withstand everyday Indian road conditions."
