Zelio E-Mobility inaugurates Coimbatore plant, Expands EV manufacturing capacity by 33%

Zelio E-Mobility has announced the commencement of operations at its new manufacturing facility in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, marking another significant milestone in the company’s expansion strategy as it continues to strengthen its presence across South India.

Strategically located at Trichy Road, Nagiyyaan Thottam, Lakshmi Nagar Kannampalayam, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, the new facility spans approximately 39,000 sq. ft. Designed to support electric scooter assembly, storage, logistics and allied business operations, the plant begins operations today and will primarily cater to key southern markets including Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and South Maharashtra.

The Coimbatore facility has been established with an installed production and assembly capacity of 60,000 units per annum. During its initial phase of operations, the plant is expected to manufacture and assemble approximately 24,000–30,000 electric two-wheelers annually, with production progressively increasing in line with market demand and operational ramp-up.

Over the next 12–24 months, the facility is expected to play a pivotal role in accelerating Zelio E-Mobility’s growth across southern India by strengthening dealer penetration, enhancing after-sales service capabilities and improving supply chain efficiency. It is also expected to make a meaningful contribution to the company’s revenues, profitability and regional market share.

The facility currently employs 30 direct workers and forms an important part of Zelio E-Mobility’s previously announced plan to exceed 500 employees during the current financial year. More than 100 additional personnel are expected to join the company over the coming months. Established with a capital investment of up to INR 1 crore, the plant will manufacture and assemble electric two-wheelers from Zelio E-Mobility’s existing product portfolio, while details of forthcoming models will be announced at a later stage.

Commenting on the development, Kunal Arya, Managing Director of Zelio E-Mobility, said, “The launch of our Coimbatore facility marks a major milestone in Zelio E-Mobility’s growth journey. South India represents one of the most promising electric mobility markets in the country, and this expansion strengthens our ability to serve customers, dealers, and partners with greater speed and efficiency. This facility will play a crucial role in supporting our next phase of growth, improving supply chain responsiveness, and reinforcing our commitment to accelerating EV adoption across India.”

The Coimbatore facility joins Zelio E-Mobility’s growing manufacturing network, which already comprises its Ladwa plant in Haryana, spread across 2,63,450 sq. ft.; the Patan plant in Haryana, covering 2,52,301 sq. ft.; and the Cuttack plant in Odisha, spanning approximately 30,500 sq. ft. Together, these facilities support the company’s production, assembly and regional operations across India.

Prior to the commissioning of the Coimbatore plant, Zelio E-Mobility’s total installed manufacturing capacity stood at 1,80,000 units per annum. With the addition of 60,000 units annually from the new facility, the company’s aggregate installed manufacturing capacity has now increased to 2,40,000 units per annum, representing a 33 per cent expansion.

The Coimbatore plant follows the same manufacturing standards, processes and quality protocols as Zelio E-Mobility’s existing facilities. At present, the company remains focused on achieving steady-state production, while future technology upgrades and sustainability initiatives are expected to be announced in due course.

The latest expansion builds on Zelio E-Mobility’s sustained growth trajectory. The company reported revenue of INR 313.68 crore in FY2025–26, reflecting year-on-year growth of 81.8 per cent, while delivering a revenue CAGR of 121 per cent over the past four years and maintaining profitability since inception.

Following its successful BSE SME listing in October 2025, through which it raised INR 78.34 crore, Zelio E-Mobility has continued to expand its manufacturing capabilities, workforce and retail footprint. The company currently operates a network of more than 400 dealerships across over 25 states and plans to expand this to more than 550 dealerships by FY27, further reinforcing its ambitions in India’s fast-growing electric mobility sector.
