Coulomb Litech, an Indian electric vehicle battery technology startup, has raised ₹20 crore in a seed funding round to strengthen its manufacturing capabilities and expand its footprint within India’s rapidly growing electric vehicle ecosystem. The fresh capital infusion marks a major step forward for the company as it scales operations to meet increasing demand in the medium and heavy electric vehicle segments.rnrnFounded in 2020 by Ameya Sathe and Darshil Dharod, both alumni of the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, Coulomb Litech focuses on developing fast-charging and long-life battery systems designed specifically for commercial and heavy-duty electric vehicles. The company’s battery solutions cater to a wide range of applications including material-handling equipment, electric tractors, construction machinery, electric three-wheelers and energy storage systems. With commercial EV adoption accelerating across India, demand for robust and reliable battery systems has grown significantly, particularly in segments where vehicles operate under high loads and demanding environmental conditions.rnrnCoulomb’s battery systems operate across an extensive voltage range from 51V to 700V and support capacities of up to 80 kWh. These modular platforms are available in medium-voltage and high-voltage configurations, allowing OEMs to customize battery integration according to vehicle requirements. The systems are already deployed in multiple commercial and pilot projects with original equipment manufacturers across India, demonstrating scalability and real-world reliability.rnrnA defining strength of Coulomb Litech lies in its in-house technology development approach. The startup has built its entire battery technology stack internally, including hardware design, embedded software, advanced control algorithms and system integration. In addition, the company has developed its own Battery Management Systems, liquid cooling systems, CCS fast-charging systems and IoT-enabled analytics platforms. This integrated technology ecosystem allows Coulomb to deliver faster charging cycles while maintaining extended battery life, a critical factor for commercial fleet operators seeking lower downtime and improved operational efficiency. The liquid cooling architecture and intelligent battery management further enhance safety, performance consistency and durability under heavy-duty usage conditions.rnrnThe newly secured funding will primarily be utilized to establish a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Navi Mumbai. The founders have indicated that this facility will significantly increase production capacity to meet rising demand from OEM partners. Alongside manufacturing expansion, the company plans to allocate capital toward research and development, product optimization and the scaling of ongoing pilot programs in electric tractors, cranes, material-handling equipment and electric three-wheelers. Strengthening partnerships with fleet operators and OEMs is also a key priority as Coulomb seeks to accelerate the adoption of its battery platforms in commercial applications.rnrnIndia’s push toward electrification of medium and heavy electric vehicles has created new opportunities for battery technology innovators. As industries transition toward cleaner mobility solutions, the need for reliable, high-performance battery systems capable of handling intensive workloads continues to grow. By focusing on localization, scalable manufacturing and advanced thermal management solutions, Coulomb Litech aims to position itself as a strategic battery technology partner for manufacturers electrifying heavy and utility vehicles.rnrnWith this latest funding round, Coulomb Litech reinforces its commitment to advancing India’s EV ecosystem and strengthening domestic battery manufacturing capabilities. As commercial electric mobility expands across sectors, the startup is working to secure its role as a key enabler of heavy electric vehicle electrification in the country.
