Yuma Energy partners with Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation to deploy battery swapping stations on Metro Line 3

Yuma Energy, a Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) and EV energy infrastructure company, has partnered with Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC) to establish battery swapping stations across Mumbai Metro Line 3, strengthening accessible and sustainable EV infrastructure within the city’s public transport ecosystem. 

Under this partnership, Yuma Energy will set up 22 battery swapping stations across nine metro stations within the MMRC network. The initiative is aimed at supporting Mumbai’s growing community of electric two-wheeler users, including gig workers, delivery partners, fleet operators and daily commuters who depend on uninterrupted mobility. 

With over 13,000 vehicles powered by Yuma Energy across Mumbai and more than 20,000 battery swaps daily, the metro-based swapping network will provide riders with convenient access to fast, reliable and safe energy infrastructure at key transit hubs. By integrating swapping stations within metro premises, users will be able to seamlessly combine public transport connectivity with electric mobility solutions, reducing downtime and improving operational efficiency. 

Muthu Subramanian, GM and MD, Yuma Energy, said, "Yuma Energy is on a mission to build India's most accessible battery swapping network, and this partnership with MMRCL is a defining step forward. Metro Line 3 gives us one of the highest-footfall corridors in Mumbai, strengthening our network density further and bringing seamless, clean energy closer to where consumers need it most.” 

R. Ramana, Director (Planning and Real Estate Dev./NFBR), MMRCL, said, "MMRC is committed to enabling sustainable and commuter-friendly urban infrastructure across Mumbai. This partnership with Yuma Energy is a step towards promoting clean mobility solutions by enabling battery swapping facilities that can act as metro feeder services while also strengthening the city’s growing EV ecosystem." 

The partnership is part of MMRCL’s Non-Fare Box Revenue (NFBR) initiative, aimed at enhancing commuter services while maximising station infrastructure utility. The collaboration also reflects MMRCL’s commitment to enabling cleaner and smarter urban mobility solutions for Mumbai by opening metro infrastructure for public EV amenities such as battery swapping.
