Zelio E-Mobility Expands Manufacturing Footprint with New EV Plant in Coimbatore

Zelio E-Mobility, a rapidly expanding electric two and three-wheeler manufacturer that has been doubling its growth year over year, has announced the opening of its new manufacturing facility in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, marking a step in the company’s strategic expansion across South India. 

The facility located at Lakshmi Nagar Kannampalayam, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, spans approximately 39,000 sq. ft. and will support electric scooter assembly, storage, logistics and allied business operations. The commencement of operations starts from July 13, at the Coimbatore facility will primarily cater to southern markets including Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and South Maharashtra. 

The Coimbatore facility has 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 gradually scaling in line with market demand and operational ramp-up. 

Over the next 12–24 months, the Coimbatore facility is expected to accelerate Zelio E-Mobility’s growth in southern markets by strengthening dealer penetration, enhancing after-sales service, and improving supply chain efficiency. The plant is also expected to contribute meaningfully to the company’s revenues, profitability, and market share in the region. 

The Coimbatore facility currently employs 30 direct workers and will play a key role in Zelio E-Mobility’s previously announced plan to surpass 500 employees in the current financial year, contributing through the addition of 100 plus personnel over the coming months. Established with a capital investment of up to INR 1 crore, the plant will manufacture and assemble electric two-wheeler models from Zelio E-Mobility’s product portfolio, with upcoming model details to 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.” 

Zelio E-Mobility’s manufacturing network already includes 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., all supporting production, assembly and regional operations. 

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

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

This expansion comes on the back of Zelio E-Mobility’s strong growth momentum, with revenue rising 81.8 percent year-on-year to INR 313.68 crore in FY2025–26 and a revenue CAGR of 121 percent over the last four years, while remaining profitable since inception. Following its successful BSE SME listing in October 2025, where it raised INR 78.34 crore, the company continues to strengthen its market presence through expanding manufacturing capabilities, a growing workforce, and a 400 plus dealer network across 25 plus states, with plans to scale to 550 plus dealerships by FY27.
