Montra Electric is a rapidly emerging player in India’s electric commercial-vehicle ecosystem. Starting with last-mile electric three-wheelers, it is expanding into cargo 3-wheelers and heavy-duty electric trucks. The brand leverages the Murugappa Group’s manufacturing and service infrastructure, while pushing in-house technology such as battery-swapping for eHCVs, and fast-charging in 3-Ws. The available sales data suggests strong growth in the 3-wheel segment, though volumes remain moderate relative to legacy players. Its heavy-commercial truck business is nascent but showing promising milestones.
