Euler Motors, an electric commercial vehicle OEM, has expanded its manufacturing footprint in Palwal, Haryana. This new facility is dedicated to the manufacturing of its four-wheeler (4W) portfolio, comprising the Euler Turbo EV 1000 and Storm EV. With an investment outlay of INR 100 crores, Euler Motors now operates across 40 acres with an annual production capacity of up to 24,000 vehicles.

The facility was inaugurated by Dr. Pawan Munjal, Executive Chairman, Hero MotoCorp in the presence of Euler Motors’ leadership team.

At full ramp, the facility will operate two shifts a day, supplemented by a third hybrid shift, to manufacture the Turbo EV 1000 and Storm EV. It features an automated 4W assembly conveyor line, dedicated assembly lines, a body shop and an integrated battery pack assembly line. Built on a deeply localised supply chain, both vehicles are engineered and designed for India from the ground up.

The facility follows a layered validation approach, with testing integrated across every stage of manufacturing. Critical systems, including suspension frames, drivetrain and steering, undergo rigorous testing for early fault detection. Battery packs are subjected to thermal cycling, thermal shock, water wading, drop, vibration, mechanical shock and abuse testing under real-world load conditions to monitor performance and degradation. Electrical, mechanical and thermal systems are completely validated to ensure that every vehicle meets Euler Motor’s quality, reliability and performance benchmarks before delivery.

Speaking at the inauguration, Dr. Pawan Munjal, Executive Chairman, Hero MotoCorp, said, “At Hero MotoCorp, we believe the future of mobility will be shaped by collaboration, innovation and a shared commitment to sustainable growth. India’s commercial mobility sector is at an important inflection point, with electrification gaining momentum on the back of supportive government policies, improving total-cost economics and the growing demand for sustainable last-mile mobility. Our strategic investment in Euler Motors reflects our confidence in its vision and capabilities, as well as our belief in the broader potential of India’s rapidly evolving electric mobility ecosystem.”

He further added, “The expansion of Euler’s Palwal facility, with a dedicated four-wheeler production line, represents more than an increase in manufacturing capacity-it is a step towards shaping the future of India’s commercial mobility. Euler has demonstrated that electric vehicles can deliver the performance, economics and technology that commercial customers demand.”

Commenting on the launch, Saurav Kumar, Founder and CEO, Euler Motors, said, “The four-wheeler cargo segment has long run on ICE for years because no electric vehicle could compete with ICE on the right combination of performance and affordability. Our 4W vehicles – Storm EV and the Turbo EV 1000 have demonstrated as the right fit to that gap with segment penetration moving from around ~1 percent to ~5.8 percent in the category with Euler securing~28 percent market share.

We expanded from selling ~40 four-wheeler vehicles a month last year in April to roughly ~800 four-wheeler vehicles a month this year in June. With the scaling demand for Euler’s four-wheeler vehicles, this manufacturing facility now gives us the capacity to cater to that growing demand. With this facility, we are building on the momentum to accelerate the transition to electric mobility across segments that have been long dominated by ICE.”

The four-wheeler light commercial vehicle segment carries some of India’s heaviest loads across its longest routes and has remained predominantly reliant on ICE for decades. Euler Motors set out to change that with two vehicles engineered to compete on performance, economics and technology. The Turbo EV 1000 went a step further as the world’s first one-tonne electric truck to outperform ICE on both performance and price. In just 10 months of its launch, EV penetration in the 4W one-tonne segment rose from ~1 percent to 5.8 percent. The Storm EV was India’s first commercial vehicle equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), bringing features such as collision alerts and night vision assistance to a segment where advanced safety technology has traditionally been out of reach.

The Long Duration Energy Storage Council (LDES Council) and India Smart Grid Forum (ISGF) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), establishing a three–year collaboration to help accelerate long duration energy storage (LDES) in India. 

As India adds increasing volumes of renewable energy to its power system, the need for flexibility and grid reliability is growing. LDES can help address this challenge by storing energy for extended periods and making clean energy available when it is needed most. 

The partnership will bring together ISGF’s knowledge of India’s power sector with the LDES Council’s global experience across LDES technologies, markets and policy. 

The two organisations will work together across several areas, including strengthening policy and regulatory frameworks, identifying high–value applications for LDES, conducting market and techno–economic assessments and supporting demonstration and commercial projects. 

The collaboration will also look beyond a single storage technology. It will explore the role of thermal, mechanical, electrochemical and chemical storage across applications ranging from renewable energy integration and grid firming to industrial decarbonisation. 

Shubhra Thakur, Director Policy and Markets, APAC at the LDES Council, said, “India has a significant opportunity to scale long duration energy storage as its power system evolves. Through this collaboration with ISGF, we want to bring global experience together with local expertise to identify where LDES can deliver the greatest value and help turn those opportunities into projects, stronger policy frameworks and practical solutions for India’s energy system.” 

As part of the MoU, the LDES Council and ISGF plan to develop an India–focused knowledge paper examining the country’s grid challenges and the role LDES can play in addressing them. It will draw on international examples, case studies and best practices, including the potential for LDES to support grid and transmission infrastructure. 

The signing marks the start of a wider collaboration focused on connecting policy, knowledge and real–world experience. By sharing lessons from India and other markets and bringing the right stakeholders together, the LDES Council and ISGF aim to help create a clearer pathway for LDES to play a growing role in India’s energy system.
