Earth Energy has achieved 96 per cent localisation level for its model range.

Rushii Senghani, CEO and Founder, Earth Energy, said, "We are focused on providing the commuters with a quality offering which is reliable with little to no downtime with regard to availability of spares. In this regard we have achieved 96 per cent localisation of all components including powertrain, structural and dynamic components, etc. In the last six months we have worked hard to set up our localised vendors, supply chain and distribution network and will be available across most markets by the middle of 2022. Our manufacturing is being optimised and we can manufacture 46,000 vehicles per annum using two production lines. We have an additional pair of two production lines which can be utilised as demand increases."

Local development and manufacturing is one of the main focus areas at Earth Energy.

Earth Energy EV has set up a 20,000 sq. ft. greenfield manufacturing facility in Maharashtra with an annual manufacturing capacity of 46,000 units. The company is also looking forward to expand to an additional 20,000 sq. ft. area as the demand grows.
