L&T Electronic Products & Systems (LTEPS) has entered into a strategic partnership with EVR Motors, a global electric propulsion technology company, to develop, manufacture and deploy advanced electric vehicle traction motors tailored for the Indian market. The collaboration combines L&T’s expertise in engineering, systems integration and manufacturing with EVR Motors’ innovative electric propulsion technologies to support the next phase of India’s electric mobility growth.

The partnership is aligned with the Government of India’s initiatives aimed at strengthening domestic manufacturing and accelerating the adoption of sustainable transportation solutions. Through this collaboration, both companies will focus on delivering high-performance traction motors designed to meet the specific demands of Indian operating environments.

The jointly developed solutions will emphasize energy efficiency, compact design and reduced dependence on rare earth materials. These features are expected to help vehicle manufacturers address evolving market requirements related to performance, cost competitiveness and localization.

The technology will cater to a wide range of vehicle categories, including two-wheelers, three-wheelers, passenger cars and commercial vehicles. By offering scalable propulsion solutions across segments, the partnership aims to support original equipment manufacturers in accelerating their electric vehicle programs while improving overall drivetrain efficiency.

Manufacturing of the proposed traction motors is planned at LTEPS’ advanced production facility in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. The motors will be integrated with indigenously designed Motor Control Units, enabling the companies to offer complete electric drivetrain solutions to customers. This integrated approach is expected to simplify adoption while enhancing performance and reliability.

Prashant Jain, Head of L&T Electronic Products & Systems, said the partnership reflects the company’s commitment to creating indigenous technologies that support India’s clean mobility aspirations. He noted that combining advanced motor technology with locally developed control systems will help bridge the gap between innovation and large-scale deployment across the country’s EV ecosystem.

Opher Doron, Chief Executive Officer of EVR Motors, emphasized that the collaboration provides an opportunity to scale advanced propulsion technologies while ensuring they remain practical, reliable and suitable for local market requirements. Sajal Kishore, Managing Director of EVR India, highlighted the importance of deep localization and system-level integration in building a sustainable electric mobility ecosystem. He stated that the partnership will support the development of next-generation electric powertrain solutions across multiple vehicle categories.

By combining global technology leadership with domestic manufacturing capabilities, LTEPS and EVR Motors aim to strengthen India’s electric vehicle value chain and contribute to the creation of a cleaner, more resilient transportation future. The collaboration represents another step toward establishing India as a significant hub for advanced EV technology development and production.

Larsen & Toubro, a USD 30 billion diversified engineering and infrastructure conglomerate, continues to reinforce its leadership across EPC, manufacturing, and services. With an established global footprint and a focus on high-quality execution, the company remains poised to capitalize on emerging opportunities across its core markets.
