Strategically located at Trichy Road, Nagiyyaan Thottam, Lakshmi Nagar Kannampalayam, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, the new facility spans approximately 39,000 sq. ft. and will support electric scooter assembly, storage, logistics, and allied business operations, the electric two and three-wheeler maker said in a statement.
The Coimbatore facility will primarily cater to southern markets including Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and South Maharashtra, it said.
The Coimbatore facility has an installed production and assembly capacity of 60,000 units per annum. During its initial phase of operations, the plant is expected to manufacture and assemble approximately 24,000–30,000 electric two-wheelers annually, with production gradually scaling in line with market demand and operational ramp-up, the company said.
Over the next 12–24 months, the Coimbatore facility is expected to accelerate Zelio E-Mobility’s growth in southern markets by strengthening dealer penetration, enhancing after-sales service, and improving supply chain efficiency. The plant is also expected to contribute meaningfully to the company’s revenues, profitability, and market share in the region, it added.
The Coimbatore facility currently employs 30 direct workers and will play a key role in Zelio E-Mobility’s previously announced plan to surpass 500 employees in the current financial year, contributing through the addition of 100+ personnel over the coming months.
“South India represents one of the most promising electric mobility markets in the country, and this expansion strengthens our ability to serve customers, dealers, and partners with greater speed and efficiency. This facility will play a crucial role in supporting our next phase of growth, improving supply chain responsiveness, and reinforcing our commitment to accelerating EV adoption across India,” Kunal Arya, Managing Director of Zelio E-Mobility, said.
Zelio E-Mobility’s manufacturing network already includes its Ladwa plant in Haryana, spread across 2,63,450 sq. ft.; the Patan plant in Haryana, covering 2,52,301 sq. ft.; and the Cuttack plant in Odisha, spanning approximately 30,500 sq. ft.
Prior to the commissioning of the Coimbatore facility, Zelio E-Mobility’s total installed manufacturing capacity stood at 1,80,000 units per annum. With the addition of 60,000 units from the Coimbatore plant, the company’s aggregate installed manufacturing capacity now rises to 2,40,000 units per annum, representing a 33 per cent expansion.
