Ravindra Energy has announced that its associate entity, Energy In Motion (EIM), has executed a Letter of Agreement (LOA) with Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL) to establish a supply partnership for the supply of its Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) cells and battery pack kits to EIM in India.

Under the agreement, CATL will supply 0.5 GWh of its LFP cells consisting of the upgraded CB7T0 cell Model and L324D06 battery pack platform. This latest cell and pack model for heavy commercial vehicles has significantly higher cycle life and volumetric density compared to the previous cell model CB230 used by EIM. The packs will be configured into 400.6 kWh systems for integration into EIM's E-Tractor 4x2 Ashwa series, stated the company.

Commenting on the partnership, Narendra Murkumbi, Managing Director of EIM, said, “Securing world-class battery supply from CATL – the global leader in battery manufacturing – is a major milestone for EIM. This agreement assures the quality, reliability and scale required to execute our network expansion and opens doors to all long-haul commercial applications.”

EIM will be the launch customer for this new generation of CATL battery systems in India. These will be fitted into swappable battery boxes by EIM, which are customised for India's high ambient temperature operating conditions, stated the company.

EIM is building an electric heavy commercial vehicle ecosystem including MW-scale charging/swapping stations across the country. Its first electric heavy vehicle, namely the Ashwa 55-ton e-tractor, was launched on August 1, 2025. EIM has already commissioned six heavy-duty swap stations in the Delhi-NCR region and the JNPA port area with a daily swap capacity of 840 battery swaps/day. EIM is targeting 40 operational heavy commercial vehicle swap cum charging stations by the end of March 2027, stated the company.
