Marking a major milestone in India’s green transport journey, Montra Electric, the flagship EV brand of the Murugappa Group, unveiled its Electric Small Commercial Vehicle (e-SCV) and the Electric 3-Wheeler Super Cargo at Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025.
The much-anticipated launch signals Murugappa Group’s official entry into the electric small commercial vehicle (e-SCV) segment, further strengthening India’s growing ecosystem for sustainable mobility. Backed by the Group’s 125-year industrial legacy, Montra Electric is poised to redefine mid-mile and last-mile cargo movement with products that blend innovation, durability, and cost-efficiency.
A Game-Changing Step in Electric Cargo Mobility
The launch of Montra Electric’s e-SCV represents more than just a new product — it marks the evolution of India’s commercial logistics landscape. Designed and developed after extensive R&D and testing at the company’s state-of-the-art Ponneri plant in Chennai, the e-SCV embodies a deep understanding of customer needs and market dynamics.
Engineers and designers at Montra Electric have factored in critical customer feedback and operational gaps in existing small commercial vehicle offerings to craft a solution that is high on performance, range, and reliability.
With a robust build quality and modern design, the e-SCV is expected to transform urban logistics, enabling both fleet operators and individual transporters to embrace the electric mobility revolution without compromising on profitability or efficiency.
Super Cargo: A Benchmark for Performance and Value
Alongside the e-SCV, Montra Electric introduced its Electric 3-Wheeler Super Cargo, a vehicle tailored to meet the demands of fleet businesses and independent load operators alike.
Built with superior performance specs and deep market insights, the Super Cargo is designed to deliver exceptional load-carrying capacity, low operational costs, and high asset utilization — three factors critical for commercial success.
Montra Electric’s existing 3W offering, the Super Auto, has already demonstrated strong market traction, with over 8,000 vehicles on Indian roads and 85 showrooms operational across the country — all achieved within its debut year.
The success of the Super Auto provides a solid foundation for the Super Cargo’s market entry, positioning Montra Electric as a formidable player in India’s growing electric commercial mobility sector.
