Kissan Mobility (OnEv), a start-up based out of NCR, founded by Kamlesh Kaushik plans to introduce 500 electric three-wheelers (L5) and 100 electric passenger four-wheelers in the current financial year 2024-25, with a plan to scale it up to 2,000 EVs within two years.
The start-up which is celebrating its first anniversary not only plans to introduce the EVs in Delhi-NCR and Chandigarh but also expand its operations to tier-II cities, villages and rural areas of Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh.
OnEv started its operation from Delhi-NCR in 2023 with three L5 auto and reached to 300 within a year covering Delhi-NCR and Punjab. The company has partnered with EV makers such as Omega Seiki Mobility, Piaggio, Euler, Greaves Electric, Graveol, Tata Motors to procure the vehicles and leasing partners to get the vehicles on lease.
It claims that it has changed the lifestyle of the driver partner’s by increasing their financial earning per month i.e. a driver driving vehicles for OnEv earns around Rs 50-60 thousand per month as compared to their earning earlier which was around Rs 17-18 thousand. The company has also strengthened its manpower from 2 last year to over 50 people currently.
Kamlesh Kaushik, Founder & CEO, OnEv said, “As successfully completing one year of operations, we are now aggressively looking at expanding our innovative product offerings and markets in the next 2-3 years. Due to environment-friendly, affordability and favourable government policy, electric vehicles have seen tremendous growth, however, there is immense potential for EV in rural areas and villages due to limited penetration by EV players. We aim to expand and strengthened rural areas and villages of key North Indian states like Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh to fulfil their transportation through our wide range of electric vehicles including innovative EV-based agricultural solutions to support farmers of the country.”
Kaushik further states that it is interested in collaborating with EV makers, battery companies, service providers and financial institutions to capitalise on the green mobility shift.
The company has also partnered with NBFC to set up charging infrastructures.
