SCV volumes increased to 1,286 units from 79 units, representing 1,528 percent growth, while bus volumes rose to 500 units from 54 units, a gain of 826 percent. Combined volumes therefore reached 1,786 units, compared with 133 units in H1 FY26. These figures form the basis of the company’s reported 1,243 percent overall increase during the period.

H1 FY2026-27 Segment Performance

The reported figures show how buses and SCVs contributed to the overall increase in vehicle volumes during the first half of FY2026-27. SCVs represented the larger portion of the period’s total, while electric buses also recorded substantial year-over-year growth. The table below compares the two segments with their corresponding H1 FY26 volumes and the growth reported by the company.

EKA Mobility Expands Electric Commercial Vehicle Portfolio

EKA Mobility has expanded its commercial electric vehicle portfolio beyond buses and small commercial vehicles to include the medium- and heavy-commercial vehicle truck segment. Founder and chairman Dr Sudhir Mehta attributed the volume increase to expansion in manufacturing, engineering and product capacity. He said the company intends to continue increasing production capacity and developing its engineering capabilities as it expands its electric commercial vehicle operations. The portfolio expansion adds another commercial vehicle category to the company’s existing electric product range.

EKA Mobility Expands Pune Manufacturing Capacity

The company currently operates two manufacturing plants in Pune, while a new manufacturing hub is under development in Pithampur, Madhya Pradesh. EKA Mobility said the upcoming facility will increase production capacity as the company expands its commercial electric vehicle operations. Its workforce exceeds 3,000 employees, including more than 500 designers and engineers working across vehicle design and engineering, powertrain, battery systems, electronics and software. The company describes this organization as a dedicated electric commercial vehicle research and development setup covering multiple vehicle and technology areas.

EKA Electric Buses and SCVs Expand Overseas

EKA Mobility is also expanding its international commercial vehicle operations. Its electric buses are deployed in Zanzibar, while its small commercial vehicles are operating in Nepal. The company is setting up assembly plants in Ethiopia and Australia through local partnerships, with the facilities intended to support expansion into additional international markets. These operations are designed to use India-built electric commercial vehicles while establishing local assembly capabilities in the target markets. The overseas expansion adds an international dimension to the company’s broader manufacturing and product strategy.

EKA Mobility Holds PLI Certification Across Product Platforms

EKA Mobility is a Champion OEM under the Automotive Production Linked Incentive Scheme and has obtained PLI certification across its product platforms, according to the company. Its current portfolio includes electric buses, electric trucks and small commercial vehicles. Manufacturing facilities are located at Koregaon Bhima and Chakan in Pune, while the Pithampur facility remains under development. The combination of certified product platforms, existing manufacturing operations and planned additional capacity provides the production base for the company’s continued expansion in electric commercial vehicles.

Industry Impact & Outlook

The reported increase in commercial EV volumes indicates that EKA Mobility is scaling across multiple electric vehicle segments while simultaneously expanding manufacturing capacity, engineering resources and overseas assembly plans. The addition of medium- and heavy-commercial trucks broadens its addressable commercial vehicle portfolio, while the Pithampur project could add production capacity as operations expand. International assembly plans in Ethiopia and Australia could support localized market entry using India-built products, while PLI certification provides an established policy framework for its product platforms. The next phase will depend on how the company converts its expanded manufacturing, engineering and product capabilities into sustained commercial vehicle volumes across domestic and international markets.
