Top five electric cycle manufacturers in India
Mumbai: In India, electric cycles are becoming a hot trend for city dwellers. The green wave is driven by a perfect storm: rising fuel costs, a growing eco-consciousness, and initiatives that support e-bike adoption. E-bike production is booming, making e-cycles a potential game-changer for India’s transportation sector. Not only is this trend eco-friendly, but it also paves the way for exciting innovation and economic benefits.
Here are the top electric cycle manufacturers in India
DYNEM: DYNEM, India’s leading electric cycle gigafactory, produces over 500,000 e-cycles annually. It offers a wide range of e-bikes suitable for urban and off-road use, along with essential components like high-performance motors, LCD displays, controllers, and batteries. As a comprehensive supplier, DYNEM serves global e-bike companies seeking quality drivetrain solutions. India’s low import duties (0 to 2.5%) for European and American importers provide a competitive advantage, facilitating access to cost-effective manufacturing and legal anti-dumping options.
Hero Lectro: Hero Electro, distinct from its larger sibling Hero Electric which specializes in electric scooters, is a key player in India’s rapidly growing electric cycle market. While Hero Electric focuses on two-wheeled electric vehicles, Hero Electro carves out a niche specifically in electric bicycles, or e-bikes. This targeted approach allows them to cater to the unique needs of urban commuters seeking eco-friendly and efficient transportation solutions.
Tru-Bike: A young and impactful player in India’s e-bike revolution, Tru Bikes, established in 2020, has carved a niche for itself in Ludhiana, Punjab. This manufacturer stands out for its diverse offerings, encompassing adult e-bikes, e-mobility vehicles, and even premium kids’ bicycles. Tru Bikes combines innovation and quality, with a global reach that exports its products beyond Indian borders.
EMotorad: Dhoni-backed Pune’s EMotorad is leading the e-bike charge in India. They focus on affordability and cutting-edge tech for a wide range of riders. Their premium e-bikes cater to both eco-conscious commuters and adventure seekers, making them a key player in India’s sustainable transportation revolution.
NIBE Motors: Nibe Motors, a Maharashtra-based manufacturer, is a prominent name in India’s electric cycle scene. Established in Nashik, they’ve gained recognition and offer a range of e-bikes with features like robust build, ergonomic design, and ARAI (Automotive Research Association of India) approval. Their focus on domestic production positions them as a strong contender in India’s electric transportation revolution.

Amit Kumar Nanchahal elevated to brand communications head – international beverages at PepsiCo
Seasoned reputation strategist takes charge of international beverages portfolio after steering corporate narrative in India and South Asia
GURGOAN: PepsiCo has handed the communications reins of two of its punchiest brands to a veteran insider. Amit Kumar Nanchahal has been appointed brand communications head, international beverages for Sting Energy and Mountain Dew, marking his latest ascent in a career spanning more than two decades in corporate storytelling and sustainability strategy.
Based in Delhi, Nanchahal will now oversee global communications for Sting Energy and Mountain Dew across international markets, sharpening brand narratives in an increasingly competitive and youth-driven energy drinks segment.
The move follows his stint as head of corporate communications for India and South Asia at PepsiCo, where he drove the company’s food and beverage marketing communications, sustainability messaging, digital outreach and internal communications. Over seven years at the American beverages giant, he has moved steadily up the ladder, from associate director overseeing food category and sustainability communications to the top communications post for international beverages.
Before PepsiCo, Nanchahal cut his teeth in high-stakes corporate environments. At Ola, he led corporate communications and advocacy, positioning the ride-hailing firm as a sustainability-focused mobility player while steering crisis strategy and stakeholder engagement. Earlier, at SABMiller India, he spent nearly a decade managing media relations, internal communications and sustainability programmes in one of India’s most tightly regulated sectors.
His career began at the Confederation of Indian Industry, where he worked on corporate communications and policy engagement, liaising between industry and the Haryana government.
Nanchahal’s credentials include being named among India’s Top 100 Change Makers and a 40 Under 40 honouree by industry platforms. Campaigns under his watch have picked up Cannes Lions, including initiatives such as Lay’s Smart Farm, BioChar, Gatorade Turf Finder and the Lay’s Farm Equal Project, blending brand building with sustainability narratives.
At PepsiCo, the brief is clear: amplify global brand voice, align purpose with performance and keep two high-voltage brands culturally relevant in crowded markets.
If reputation is capital and narrative is leverage, Nanchahal now sits at the fulcrum. In the battle for consumer attention, the energy is not just in the can, it is in the story.
