Euler Motors unveils 500,000 sq. ft. EV manufacturing facility in Palwal

The facility boasts an automated assembly line connected via a proprietary manufacturing execution system (MES), which drives production efficiencies by tracking the vehicle lifecycle from production to delivery. Additionally, the facility has the highest parameters for commercial vehicle testing, including dyno-testing, fully compliant shower testing, and a full-length testing track.

The plant houses a dedicated testing & validation team, advanced R&D labs, and collaborations with engineering experts, fostering a culture of continuous innovation.

 “The ongoing transformation in the mobility segment in India can only be fully realized with strong local production and localized innovation. The facility is not only an exemplification of the government’s Make in India initiative, but also brings technological advancements and industry-first features to commercial EV manufacturing,” said Saurav Kumar, Founder & CEO, Euler Motors.

“With such a strong supplier network in the vicinity, Palwal was naturally the ideal location for us. As we expand into new markets, and aim to achieve 15% growth in FY25, this state-of-the-art facility will help us respond to the increased customer demand and adapt to changes in processes and products with agility and flexibility. It will also strengthen the company’s position as a trusted and leading player in the Indian commercial EV segment,” he added.

Gaurav Kumar, Head of Supply Chain & Manufacturing at Euler Motors, added, “Our new factory represents a significant leap in manufacturing commercial 3-wheeler EVs. We are setting new benchmarks for efficient and reliable production of vehicles by integrating cutting-edge technology andquality control that are at par with global standards. This facility will enhance our production capacity, and also reinforce our dedication to delivering powerful, locally manufactured vehicles that meet the evolving needs of our customers and the industry.”

The facility is an opportunity for value creation in the sector and will create job opportunities in the region. Currently employing over 500 people, including 20% women, the facility houses a dedicated learning and development centre, ‘Kamar-Taj’, to equip its workforce with the right skills, especially considering the skill gap that exists in EV manufacturing.

“I am incredibly proud to lead this commercial EV manufacturing facility. It has best-in-class automation and aligns with our commitment towards sustainable practices. The combination of our skilled workforce and the best of technology position us to deliver powerful electric vehicles across India, making a significant contribution to the country’s clean mobility future, said Anal Vijay Singh, Plant Head, Euler Motors
