For over five decades, Kinetic been a name that represents more than just mobility; it represents India’s progress. From the early days of the Kinetic Luna that became a household name and symbol of independence, to today’s sophisticated engineering solutions that power the country’s electric mobility ecosystem, the brand’s journey has been nothing short of iconic. Now, as India stands at the cusp of an electric transformation, Kinetic Engineering Limited (KEL) is once again leading the charge, this time, to redefine how the nation moves toward a cleaner, smarter, and more sustainable future.

A Legacy of Innovation, A Vision for Tomorrow

Founded in 1972 by visionary industrialist Late. Mr. H.K. Firodia, Kinetic Group began with a simple yet powerful purpose, to create mobility solutions that empower people. Over the years, it became one of India’s most trusted names in two-wheeler manufacturing, known for engineering excellence and a deep understanding of everyday mobility. Under the leadership of Mr. Ajinkya Firodia, Vice Chairman & Managing Director of the Kinetic Group, has transformed from a traditional automotive manufacturer into a pioneer in EV component manufacturing. The company’s renewed mission is clear: to power the future of mobility through innovation, precision, and sustainability.

Engineering the Backbone of India’s EV Transformation

Electric vehicles may represent the future, but it’s the engineering foundation behind them that truly drives progress. Kinetic Engineering has strategically positioned itself as the backbone of India’s EV manufacturing ecosystem, providing high-quality, precision-engineered components to leading electric vehicle manufacturers across the country.

At its state-of-the-art facilities in Ahilyanagar and Pune, the company designs, develops, and manufactures key components critical to EV performance and reliability, including:

• EV Powertrain Components: Axles, gears, and shafts designed for smooth torque transmission and energy efficiency.
• Chassis Assemblies: Lightweight yet durable structures optimized for electric two- and three-wheelers.
• Transmission and Drivetrain Parts: Tailored solutions for the specific requirements of electric mobility platforms.
• Custom Engineering Projects: Collaborative builds developed with OEMs and startups to bring new EV concepts to market.

Each product reflects Kinetic’s legacy of mechanical precision, now reimagined for the demands of the electric age.

Where Heritage Meets High-Tech

While many companies are entering the EV market as newcomers, Kinetic Engineering brings decades of mechanical expertise to the table, an advantage few can match. This heritage allows the company to blend proven engineering processes with modern digital manufacturing technologies. Moreover, the company’s approach to engineering remains deeply human. It’s not just about machines, it’s about the people who design, test, and innovate every day. A shared purpose unites engineers, technicians, and specialists across KEL’s plants: to make mobility better, cleaner, and more efficient for all.

Sustainability as a Core Philosophy

The company continuously invests in eco-conscious manufacturing practices, from waste reduction and resource optimization to the adoption of renewable energy sources across its operations. Its focus extends beyond producing EV components; it aims to build a greener supply chain that supports the planet as much as it supports industry. By implementing lean manufacturing systems, reducing carbon emissions, and minimizing energy wastage, Kinetic ensures its growth aligns with India’s broader sustainability goals.

Collaborating to Drive Change

The EV revolution is a collective journey. Recognizing this, Kinetic positions itself as a catalyst and trusted partner within India’s fast-evolving electric mobility ecosystem. From established OEMs to emerging electric startups, Kinetic works as a trusted engineering partner, bridging the gap between concept and commercialization. Its ability to customize solutions, scale production, and deliver with precision makes it a preferred partner for those leading the EV charge.

Whether it’s developing a new drivetrain for an electric three-wheeler or optimizing parts for an e-scooter brand, Kinetic Engineering’s collaborative model ensures that every partnership accelerates the collective mission to make electric mobility accessible and reliable for all Indians.

Investing in the Future — Today

Kinetic Engineering isn’t waiting for the future to arrive; it’s building it right now. The company has made strategic investments in infrastructure, R&D, and workforce development, ensuring its readiness for large-scale EV manufacturing demands.

Its advanced facilities now include robotic welding units, CNC machining centers, and data-backed quality systems, creating a seamless integration between human intelligence and technological precision.

In parallel, KEL’s research and development teams are working on next-generation EV components, lighter materials, improved gear ratios, and enhanced thermal management systems that make electric vehicles more efficient and longer-lasting.

Empowering India’s Electric Ambition

India’s transition to electric mobility is one of the most ambitious transformations in its industrial history. However, the success of this transition depends heavily on a robust manufacturing backbone, one that can meet demand, ensure quality, and innovate continuously. This is where Kinetic steps in.

By combining its legacy of trust with modern engineering excellence, the company empowers India’s EV dream, not through headlines, but through the quiet, consistent work of precision manufacturing and technological evolution. Engineering stands proudly among them, fueling India’s journey from mobility to e-mobility.

From the Luna to the Future

Kinetic’s story has always been one of empowerment. The Luna gave India its first taste of affordable freedom. The company’s evolution reflects India’s own, resilient, innovative, and forward-looking. As the nation moves toward its electric future, Kinetic continues to light the way, one component, one collaboration, and one innovation at a time.
