Electric Vehicle Ecosystem Initiative · Maharashtra 2025
Three interconnected crises demand a single, unified solution
India imports over ₹16.5 Lakh Crore in petroleum annually — bleeding foreign reserves, inflating prices, and fueling inflation for every Indian family and business.
Pune, Mumbai, Nagpur and Nashik consistently rank among India's worst air quality cities. Vehicle emissions are the #1 contributor to urban pollution.
Over 1 million gig delivery workers in Maharashtra spend ₹3,000–5,000/month on fuel, crushing their take-home income and leaving them without EV access.
These are not separate problems — they share one root cause: the absence of an organized, accessible EV ecosystem for the everyday economy.
A ₹30 Crore ecosystem — 500 EVs, battery swap infrastructure, and city-wide partnerships that transform how Sangli moves and earns
EVARA is a fully integrated EV ecosystem — each element reinforces the others
The Ministry of MSME's Cluster Development Programme (CDP) provides capital subsidies for Common Facility Centers — we use this to build Maharashtra's first swappable-battery EV fleet and battery swap ecosystem.
The Micro & Small Enterprises Cluster Development Programme offers up to 85% government subsidy on project cost for setting up Common Facility Centers (CFC) and service infrastructure that serves clusters of MSMEs.
Detachable battery packs eliminate the need for fixed charging points. Our CFC partners swap a battery in 2 minutes and return to work — maximizing earning hours and eliminating "charging anxiety" entirely.
Purpose-built electric 2-wheelers for daily last-mile delivery. Swappable battery packs, 80–100 km real-world range, zero tailpipe emissions.
Fully removable battery packs — no need to park for charging. Swap a depleted pack in under 2 minutes and keep moving.
We operate swap stations at every CFC hub. Partners drop a dead battery, pick up a charged one — zero downtime, zero fuel stop.
Because each EV's batteries are removable, our partners never wait to charge. We operate battery swap stations at every CFC hub — swap a depleted pack for a full one and get back on the road instantly.
Charged spare battery packs always available at CFC hubs. Partners swap in under 2 minutes — no parking, no waiting, no lost earnings.
Removable batteries also charge at home via a standard 15A socket — partners plug in overnight and start the day with 100%.
Swaps and charging are free for every delivery and mechanic partner — the strongest possible incentive to join and stay in the network.
We charge our spare battery inventory at night (off-peak tariff), lowering per-unit energy cost and enabling grid arbitrage revenue.
We organize quick commerce delivery drivers into Cluster Facilitation Centers (CFCs) — giving them EV access, free charging, and a formal business identity. They partner with us; we become their backbone.
Each CFC is a cluster of 50–100 delivery partners. We provide the EV fleet + charging hub. Partners pay a small daily/monthly membership fee — far less than their current fuel spend. The CFC registers as an MSME cluster, qualifying for CDP benefits.
We partner with local mechanics and provide EV-specific diagnostic tools, battery testers, and motor controllers — paid for through the MSE CDP subsidy. We also train and certify them for EV servicing.
We replace old manual tyre-fitting machines with modern automatic wheel balancers and computerised alignment machines. We also make them our wholesale tyre supply partners — better margins, more volume.
Sangli's mechanics and tyre shops are skilled workers trapped by outdated tools. We invest in their equipment — they service our fleet and grow their own business. No franchise fees. No takeover. Pure partnership.
200+ mechanic & tyre shop partners across Sangli — their income doubles, our fleet stays serviced, and the city gains a skilled, organised EV service network.
Real maths for Sangli's delivery drivers · assumptions: 2,500 active drivers · 80 km/day · ₹105/liter petrol · 26 working days/month
What if every major city ran this model? ₹709 Crore of petrol savings, unlocked for Maharashtra's gig economy — state-wide
Estimated delivery rider fuel spend · same formula: 80 km/day · 50 km/L · ₹105/L · 312 days · savings = full fuel cost eliminated by swappable-battery EV
Jobs created, incomes doubled, carbon cut — EVARA grows the entire local economy, not just our balance sheet
EVARA is not just profitable — it delivers measurable social and environmental value at scale
500 EVs replacing petrol/diesel vehicles saves over 5,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually — the equivalent of planting 250,000 trees.
Direct employment across swap stations, washing bays, authorized service stations, and management — plus income growth for 700+ partner businesses.
500 EVs switching from imported petroleum saves approximately ₹50 Crore in fuel imports per year — directly reducing India's import bill.
Local mechanics and tyre shops get MSME registration, equipment upgrades, formal business credit, and access to a national supply chain.
Each CFC delivery partner saves ₹3,000–5,000/month in fuel costs — a 40–60% boost in take-home income for Maharashtra's gig workers.
Every EV partner becomes an EV ambassador. Our visible fleet and free charging normalizes EV adoption, triggering a city-wide multiplier effect.
Circular Economy Units — Our Vehicle Scrapping Facility and Tyre Recycling Unit ensure zero waste leaves our ecosystem. Raw material for recycling comes from city collection and MSRTC / State Transport Undertaking used-tyre tenders, turning government waste into commercial value.
EVARA is aligned with India's National Electric Mobility Mission Plan, the Vehicle Scrapping Policy 2021, Maharashtra's EV Policy 2021, and the Atmanirbhar Bharat goal — a replicable model for every Indian city.
11 diversified revenue streams, 37% EBITDA margin, and payback in under 15 months — a commercially self-sustaining social enterprise
Diversified, recurring, and scalable revenue streams — including circular economy units that turn waste into income
Become the authorized EV service station for the city — capturing labour, service revenue, spare parts, and AMC contracts.
Control the tyre supply chain for the city — supplying to our mechanic partners and selling retail to every vehicle owner.
Automated washing bays at every fleet and service hub — serving our own fleet and the public for daily, recurring revenue.
Become the insurance point-of-sale for every vehicle in our network — and then for every vehicle owner in the city.
Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility (RVSF) under India's Vehicle Scrapping Policy 2021 — turning end-of-life vehicles into a profitable circular economy business.
Convert end-of-life tyres into crumb rubber, pyrolysis oil, and carbon black. Raw material sourced from two streams — city collection and government tenders.
A capital-efficient model, anchored by government subsidy and diversified revenue
Four clear asks — all within existing policy frameworks. No new laws needed.
Approve our CFC cluster application under the MSE Cluster Development Programme for the 500-EV fleet, swap infrastructure, and mechanic partnership program.
Facilitate single-window clearance for setting up charging stations on public land, MSEB connections, and CESL integration for grid-linked charging.
Expedite MSME cluster registration for our delivery and mechanic partner hubs — giving them formal business status, credit access, and eligibility for government schemes.
A Ministry letter of support for alignment with Maharashtra EV Policy 2021 — enabling OEM authorized service station approval and investor confidence.
Together, we can make Maharashtra India's EV Capital
