A Legendary Comeback in Indian Mobility

Kinetic has made a powerful return to the Indian two-wheeler market with the launch of the all-new Kinetic DX EV. More than just a product launch, this marks the revival of a scooter that once redefined mobility in India and became a household name.

At the unveiling event, Kinetic’s Vice Chairman paid an emotional tribute to the company’s history and its founder, Padma Shri Dr. Arun Firodia, the visionary behind Kinetic’s innovation-first philosophy. Speaking with pride, he said:
“I haven’t inherited a VIP ticket through politics. I’ve inherited it through legacy.”

The Legacy of the Original Kinetic DX

Launched in the 1990s, the original Kinetic DX scooter became an instant hit. Known for its simplicity, practicality, and self-start feature, it stood apart in an era dominated by heavy, gear-operated scooters. For many Indians—especially women and first-time riders—the DX symbolized freedom, accessibility, and confidence.

Now, decades later, Kinetic is bringing that same spirit back with an all-electric avatar designed for the new generation of Indian riders.

Building the Future With Kinetic Watts & Volts

To bring the DX EV vision to life, Kinetic established Kinetic Watts & Volts (KWV) under the umbrella of Kinetic Engineering Limited. With over ₹150 crore already invested and ₹177 crore more committed, the company has built a fully integrated EV manufacturing ecosystem.

Unlike many EV startups, Kinetic produces 98% of the DX EV in-house—including the battery, motor, chassis, electronics, and software. This level of vertical integration is rare in the EV industry and gives Kinetic complete control over quality and reliability.

Designed in Italy, Built for India

The design of the Kinetic DX EV was reimagined in collaboration with renowned Italian designer Alessandro Tartarini in Dubai. While the scooter embraces futuristic design cues, it still retains nostalgic elements from the original DX:

  • The signature red start button

  • A sturdy metal body

  • The classic speedometer console

This blend of heritage and innovation ensures that the DX EV feels both familiar and fresh.

Advanced Manufacturing Strength

Kinetic’s commitment goes beyond design. With its state-of-the-art plant in Ahilya Nagar, robotic production lines, and proprietary in-house technology, the company has positioned itself as a serious long-term EV manufacturer.

Unlike new-age startups chasing valuation, Kinetic is relying on its 79 years of manufacturing expertise to create EVs that are world-class, made in India, and made for India.

As the Vice Chairman put it:
“Kinetic is not chasing hype. We’re here to deliver quality EVs that stand the test of time.”

The Road Ahead Is Electric

The launch of the Kinetic DX EV is more than just a nostalgic revival. It represents bold innovation, deep manufacturing strength, and a reminder that true legends never fade.

Kinetic is back. And this time, it’s electric.

How EV Component Manufacturers Are Powering India’s Electric Mobility Shift

Built for the Future: How EV Component Manufacturers Are Powering India’s Electric Mobility Shift

, , , , , ,

India is quickly shifting gears toward a cleaner, electric future. From fast-moving electric scooters to reliable three-wheelers and expanding commercial EV fleets, the transition is real—and it’s gaining speed.

But behind every EV on the road is a set of carefully engineered components. And it’s here that EV component manufacturers in India are doing some of the most crucial work—often quietly, but always critically.

What Goes Into an EV?

Electric vehicles are nothing like traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. Their core architecture is different, and so are the components that power them. These parts are built for high voltage, efficient energy use, and thermal stability.

Key EV Components Manufactured in India:

  • Electric motor housings

  • Battery enclosures and mounts

  • Controller casings and thermal management systems

  • High-voltage connectors and wiring harnesses

  • Lightweight chassis parts

  • Transmission and drive assemblies

  • Regenerative braking system parts

Each of these parts must meet strict standards for safety, precision, and durability. They’re not just parts—they’re the backbone of every electric vehicle.

Why India Is Becoming a Global EV Component Hub

India is emerging as a key player in the global EV component industry. Here’s why:

  • Cost-effective production

  • Skilled labor force in mechanical and precision engineering

  • Government support, including PLI schemes and pro-EV policies

  • High domestic demand, especially for electric two- and three-wheelers

  • Well-established OEM and supply chain ecosystems

These advantages position India not just to serve local markets but to supply global EV manufacturers as well.

How OEMs Like Kinetic Engineering Are Leading the Transition

For companies like Kinetic Engineering Limited (KEL), this shift isn’t sudden. It’s a logical next step in a long journey of innovation and manufacturing excellence.

KEL’s Key EV Adaptation Strategies:

  • Investing in automated, high-precision machining

  • Creating modular assemblies for electric drivetrains

  • Using lightweight materials like aluminum alloys and composites

  • Partnering with startups and global EV firms for co-development and fast prototyping

KEL blends its mechanical legacy with a future-focused mindset. This balance makes it a trusted partner for many in the growing EV ecosystem.

Sustainable Manufacturing with Purpose

EVs may be clean on the road, but making them sustainably matters just as much. Manufacturers in India are taking big steps in this direction.

Here’s how:

  • Reducing material waste through lean production methods

  • Using recyclable materials for casings and brackets

  • Adopting energy-efficient systems, including solar-powered units

  • Aligning with global ESG standards

Localizing EV component production also reduces carbon emissions from imports and enhances supply chain resilience.

Kinetic Engineering: Powering the EV Ecosystem

Kinetic Engineering Limited has always stood for engineering excellence. Today, it continues that tradition by manufacturing precision EV parts that support the industry’s future.

From drivetrain assemblies to sub-components, KEL delivers:

  • High-quality, scalable solutions

  • Fast prototyping and reliable execution

  • Support for two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and light electric commercial vehicles

Whether you’re a startup or a legacy brand, KEL is ready to support your electric journey.

Conclusion: More Than a Shift—A Reinvention

The EV transition is about more than just changing engines—it’s about rethinking how we build, collaborate, and move.

EV component manufacturers in India are playing a central role in this change. By combining cost-efficiency, precision, and sustainability, they’re enabling a smarter, cleaner mobility future.

And with companies like Kinetic Engineering Limited at the forefront, this revolution is not only electric—it’s built to last.
