Beyond the Wheels: How Indian Players Are Powering the EV Ecosystem

Primarily driven by government and sustainability pressure, EVs in India have come a long way from buses to becoming the norm in logistics and consumer mobility, and they are getting better every year. EV sales grew by 16.9% in FY25 to 1.97 million units, up from 1.75 million in FY24. This rapid growth in the Indian EV market was possible thanks to government incentives, rising environmental concerns and technological advancements.

In 2020, World EV Day was initiated by environmental-conscious businesses Green.TV and ABB, and it was launched with the purpose of promoting awareness regarding the role that electric vehicles will play in creating a clean, sustainable, and responsible future.

World EV Day is a worldwide platform to advance electric mobility and spur the transition towards cleaner transport. It focuses on the demand for better battery technology, more charging infrastructure, and a collective push from governments and industries alike. While the bulk of the attention usually goes to auto players, India’s EV revolution is being spearheaded by an ecosystem of non-auto players that are addressing the true challenges of electrification.

Here are four Indian players pushing the boundaries beyond vehicles to make EV driving simpler, more accessible, and genuinely sustainable.

Backbone of Last-Mile EVs With Trontek

Trontek is a prominent battery supplier to India’s e-two- and three-wheeler market, particularly for e-rickshaws and delivery fleets. Its LiEV series has driven over 300,000 electric two-wheelers and 250,000+ e-rickshaws, solidifying its place in India’s clean mobility revolution.

Their AIS-certified lithium-ion batteries, such as high-end LFP and NMC models, ensure improved safety and extended lifespan. On the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025 floor, Trontek demonstrated its growing solutions from EV batteries to Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and making it an essential driver of India’s EV future.

Livguard is Powering EVs with Power Solutions

Trusted for its automotive and inverter batteries, Livguard is making its entry into the EV space with power backup as well as energy storage solutions. Its extensive national footprint in 21,000+ PIN codes makes the company well-positioned to help facilitate wide-scale EV charging infrastructure. With increasing demand for backup energy as well as smart storage, Livguard is well-positioned to help India’s expanding EV ecosystem with power requirements.

Enabling EV Charging Intelligence with Kazam

Kazam is revolutionizing India’s EV charging infrastructure through the provision of intelligent charging stations and software management solutions. Their products cater to residents, RWAs, companies, and fleet owners.

With more than 70,000 charging points, 45 GWh of energy delivered, and 46,000 tonnes of CO2 abated, Kazam is developing India’s strongest EV ecosystem. Its hardware-agnostic platform caters to charging hubs, fleet management, and depot-grade energy optimization—converting any parking space into a revenue-generating station. Its recently announced P2P model allows peer-to-peer sharing of energy, further democratizing it and making clean energy more accessible..

Ather Energy – Beyond the Scooter

While most associated with its intelligent scooters, Ather Energy has established itself as a major infrastructure player with Ather Grid, which is one of India’s largest fast-charging networks. The firm is standardizing charging standards with its Ather Connect platform, providing an integrated EV ownership ecosystem. The tech-savvy strategy and internal energy management software of Ather are creating a new benchmark in the way EV companies can engage beyond mere automotive manufacturing.

As India inches closer to its target of electrifying transport, it’s evident that the journey extends well beyond the vehicles themselves. Trontek, Livguard, Kazam, and Ather are tackling some of the most urgent issues like battery performance, charging convenience, and energy storage.

This World EV Day, we’re reminded that the shift to electric mobility requires a strong, multi-layered ecosystem. Whether it’s ensuring a seamless charging experience, delivering reliable batteries, or powering homes and grids sustainably, these Indian companies are laying the groundwork for a cleaner, smarter future of mobility.
