Greaves Electric Mobility Limited (GEML), the electric mobility subsidiary of Greaves Cotton, announced a major milestone today as its newly launched Eltra City XTRA set a national record by covering 324 kilometres on a single charge, earning a spot in the India Book of Records for the longest distance travelled by an electric three-wheeler passenger vehicle on a single charge.
The achievement was part of the company’s Freedom Ride 2.0, which showcased the power and reliability of GEML’s next-generation electric 3-wheeler, driving from Bengaluru to Ranipet without recharging.
The Eltra City XTRA builds on its predecessor’s record of 225 km set last year. Equipped with a powerful 9.5 kW motor, 10.75 kWh LFP battery, and smart digital interface, the vehicle delivers robust performance, higher earnings potential, and lower operating costs. It is designed to handle daily commutes efficiently with a true range of ~170 km under typical conditions (driver plus three passengers) and a maximum speed of 60 kmph.
Key specifications include:
-
Payload capacity: 330 kg
-
Gradient climbing ability: up to 12°
-
Charging time: 4–5 hours
-
5-year or 1.2 lakh km battery warranty
-
3-year or 80,000 km vehicle warranty
Commenting on the achievement, Manoj M P, Chief Business Officer, GEML, said:
“This is more than just a record — it reaffirms our commitment to delivering high-performance electric mobility solutions that empower everyday entrepreneurs.”
The Eltra City XTRA was flagged off from Greaves’ Tech Center in Bengaluru and concluded at Ampere’s factory in Ranipet, symbolising India’s progress towards sustainable and self-reliant mobility.
Vikas Singh, Managing Director, GEML, added:
“This Freedom Ride 2.0 isn’t just about distance; it’s about impact — enabling livelihoods while advancing India’s green goals.”
The achievement comes at a time when GEML, which has been manufacturing EVs for over 16 years, continues to drive innovation in India’s electric vehicle market. The company has filed a draft prospectus with SEBI for its planned IPO, underlining its growth ambitions.
