AIC Pinnacle Entrepreneurship Forum and the National Automotive Test Tracks (NATRAX) have signed a memorandum of understanding to support startups in the automotive, electric vehicle and connected mobility sectors.

The agreement was executed at EKA's vehicle manufacturing facility in Chakan by Dr Avinash Thakur, CEO, AIC Pinnacle and Dr Manish Jaiswal, Director, NATRAX.

The collaboration combines AIC Pinnacle’s business incubation and mentoring programs with the testing and certification infrastructure at NATRAX. The partnership aims to assist startups in progressing from prototypes to validated commercial products. Immediate initiatives include organising a startup hackathon and granting select cohort members access to the NATRAX testing tracks near Pithampur, Madhya Pradesh.

The signing event included representatives from EKA Mobility, AIC Pinnacle and NATRAX, such as EKA Mobility Chief Product Officer Zoeb Altafhussain Karampurwala, Chief Engineers Kaustubh Vasant Joshi and Pankaj Shivrudrappa Munoli, and R&D Team Lead Swapnil Anil Tambe, alongside AIC Pinnacle Senior Manager Shadab Hussain and NATRAX Group Lead Tulika Mazumdar.

Dr Manish Jaiswal said the partnership would create opportunities for startups and innovators to access relevant testing, validation and ecosystem capabilities. "Such partnerships can contribute to accelerating the development and adoption of emerging mobility technologies," he said.

Dr Sudhir Mehta, Founder and Chairman, Pinnacle Industries and Group Companies, said, "Electric mobility will remain a key focus area for AIC Pinnacle in the coming period.

Indian vehicle retail sales reached a record 2,536,920 units in September 2026, marking a 31.82 percent YoY increase and a 4.69 percent sequential rise over August shows data released by the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA).

Interestingly, in H1 (April–September) of FY2027, auto retail reached 15,512,319 units, a rise of 20.77 percent YoY.

In September 2026, growth was recorded across all major segments compared to the previous year. Two-wheeler sales rose 33.08 percent to 1,790,188 units, surpassing the pre-pandemic peak recorded in 2018 by 15.3 percent.

Passenger vehicle registrations increased 32.10 percent to 427,213 units and commercial vehicle registrations grew 37.62 percent to 103,557 units, crossing the 100,000 mark in September for the first time.

Three-wheeler sales climbed 22.25 percent to 132,570 units, with electric models accounting for 64.90 percent of the total.

Wheeled construction equipment sales increased 38 percent to 6,486 units. Tractor sales grew 13.75 percent YoY to 76,906 units, though registrations fell 12.58 percent compared to August due to a delayed festive calendar and uneven rainfall.

Total electric vehicle sales across all categories reached a monthly figure of approximately 334,000 units, bringing electric vehicle market penetration to roughly 13 percent.

In the two-wheeler space, electric vehicles accounted for 11.58 percent of new vehicle sales. In the passenger vehicle segment, petrol vehicles held a 41.27 percent market share, while alternative fuel vehicles accounted for 41 percent. The alternative fuel share comprised compressed natural gas at 23.11 percent, hybrid powertrains at 9.44 percent and electric vehicles at 8.45 percent.

Passenger vehicle dealer stock levels rose to between 43 and 45 days of sales, exceeding FADA’s recommended benchmark of 21 days.

Sai Giridhar, President, FADA, said, “September’26 was the best-ever September in Indian auto retail, with the industry registering 25,36,920 units, up 31.82 percent YoY and 4.69 percent MoM. I would, however, urge that this headline be read with discipline: the 31.82 percent is the most base-distorted print of the year – a mirror of last September, when buyers deferred purchases in the week before GST 2.0 took effect on 22 September 2025. The cleaner signals are three. It was the best-ever September across five of our six categories and, with it, the best-ever first half of any financial year at 1,55,12,319 units (+20.77 percent); retail rose 4.69 percent over August and even setting the distorted September aside, FY’27’s first five months grew about 17 percent, which is the truer underlying run-rate.”

Going forward, survey results from FADA indicate that 75.57 percent of automobile dealers expect sales growth in October, up from 67.09 percent in August. For the October–December quarter, 78.28 percent of dealers anticipate growth and 49.5 percent have revised their sales forecasts upward for the full financial year following the first-half results.
