Eastman Auto and Power has joined forces with Urja Mobility to provide electric vehicle battery supplies in India.
The EV industry is witnessing huge growth in India, and many big auto players are investing together to grow e-mobility transportation in India, and continuing this trend Eastman Auto and Power Ltd. (EAPL) has partnered with Urja Mobility to supply more than 20,000 lithium-ion batteries for electric three wheelers for the Eastman Auto and Power wheelers in India.
Both the companies signed the deal on February 11, 2025 with an objective of battery leasing solutions and improved e-mobility technology across India.
The agreement states that Eastman will integrate Urja Mobility’s IoT and software technologies into its lithium batteries so as to improve and provide accurate data metrics and remote monitoring. The main purpose of this partnership is to increase the EV transition in India by creating a major shift from ICE vehicles to battery powered vehicles.
This partnership will also help Eastman to solidify the position of their E-rickshaw into the electric three wheeler segment. This collaboration will also concentrate on development and increasing the efficiency of the lithium-ion battery technology as the EV sector is majorly dependent on it.
