degradation over time. This results in better durability and stronger ownership economics for the customer. We have tested LFP battery performance from –40°C to 60°C, making it highly suitable for Indian climates. This battery also delivers higher safety assurance, critical for mass adop- tion. This has allowed us to provide value over the vehicle’s lifetime. Q With safety becoming a critical concern in EV adoption, how is GEML strengthening its safety architecture? Ram Rajappa: Safety is a key aspect of our product design and performance with a multi-layered approach. First, at the battery level, going 100 percent LFP is at the central level, as it offers higher thermal and chemistry stability, especially important for India’s diverse climatic conditions. At the vehicle level, we have integrated advanced braking systems, improved structural integrity and ergonomic de- sign for rider comfort. Lastly, at the ecosystem level, we have strengthened supplier alignment and quality control. Our Ampere Care connectivity ensures safety in every kilometre, ensuring rider safety with safety alerts and service reminders. This is backed by real-world validation of more than 1 lakh kilometres in extreme terrain testing and long-distance per- formance benchmarks. Q How do the new models balance performance, range, and durability for both daily commuters and delivery riders? Ram Rajappa: Product offerings from the stable of GEML are engineered to tackle real-world usability. Performance is delivered through calibrated motor tuning and ride dynam- ics suited for both city commute and load-bearing use cases. Range is optimised through efficient energy management and LFP battery characteristics. Durability is engineered through robust chassis design, long-life LFP batteries, and validated performance in real-world conditions. For instance, Magnus Grand caters strongly to family com- muters with its comfort and dependability, while Nexus, with its connectivity and performance credentials, appeals to both urban riders and commercial users. Importantly, both prod- ucts are designed to handle high daily usage cycles. Q Are there plans to expand into new segments or introduce breakthrough technologies? Ram Rajappa: Greaves Electric Mobility is entering its next growth phase by expanding across both B2B and B2C seg- ments. On the B2B side, Ampere is targeting high-growth areas like last-mile delivery and fleet mobility with reliable, cost-effi - cient electric solutions. In B2C, the brand is moving beyond commuter scooters to launch performance-oriented EVs for today’s aspirational rid- ers. At the core of this strategy is deep tech integration with in- house battery, motor development, and an advanced smart cluster to drive cost efficiency, performance, and innovation.
