The 240-volt DC architecture—commonly used in electric cars—is being introduced to two-wheelers for the first time in India. This shift is expected to enable faster charging, higher energy efficiency, and better integration with India’s expanding public charging infrastructure, according to a statement.
“High-voltage technology in electric two-wheelers opens new possibilities for faster adoption of EVs intended for a huge market in India. By supporting this project, TDB seeks to accelerate domestic innovation, strengthen local R&D capacity, and ensure that sustainable mobility solutions are developed and manufactured within the country,” said Rajesh Kumar Pathak, Secretary, TDB.
To complement this high-voltage system, a custom-built, ARAI-certified high-voltage battery pack has been developed as part of the project. Raptee’s DSIR-recognized in-house R&D unit, with over six years of dedicated EV research, has developed the entire platform—from electronics and mechanical systems to embedded software—ensuring complete control over product quality and a high degree of indigenous value addition.
The platform also features smart connectivity capabilities such as remote diagnostics and over-the-air updates, alongside a commitment to sustainable manufacturing with zero waste and no external emissions.
“TDB’s support validates our long-term R&D efforts and enables us to scale our high-voltage motorcycle platform. We see this as a significant step in creating indigenous, future-ready mobility solutions while contributing to India’s leadership in the global EV transition,” said Dinesh Arjun, CEO, Raptee Energy Pvt. Ltd.
The project is aligned with national goals such as Aatmanirbhar Bharat and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and SDG 13 (Climate Action).
