In the next 6 to 12 months, he said the company is looking at adding an
electric tractor
in the 40-50 horse power (HP) segment to the existing 27 HP.
Besides, the company is planning to launch variants in the
heavy commercial vehicle
(HCV) segment, inducing tippers.
In the small vehicle segment (SCV), Gupta said TI Clean Mobility Pvt Ltd (TICMPL) is looking at electric ambulance to tap opportunity of subsidy offered by the government, besides electric bus on its existing 3.5 tonne platform.
As for electric three-wheelers, the company will look at entering e-rickshaw segment, while also considering to offer "either a lower or higher battery" option over and above its existing 10.6 kilowatt battery that powers the passenger autorickshaw at present, Gupta said.
On its USD 1 billion target, he said, "About 50 per cent should be coming from the HCV, 20 per cent from SCV, 20 per cent from three-wheeler and 10 per cent from tractor business."
Further, Gupta said TICMPL has invested in four manufacturing units -- three in and around Chennai and one in Manesar, Haryana -- to produce its range of electric vehicles.
"We have already created capacities which we feel are sufficient to take care of at least next couple of years," he noted.
The HCV facility at Manesar has an annual capacity of up to 6,000 units.
For SCV, the company has an annual capacity of 50,000 units and the three-wheeler capacity is 70,000 units across passenger and cargo variants.
Gupta said the company's electric tractor production capacity is 25,000 units per annum.
TICMPL's new electric three-wheeler SUPER CARGO prices start at Rs 4.37 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi, post-subsidy) and marks the company's entry in the highly strategic last-mile delivery space.
It has a range of over 200 km on standard testing conditions and real-life range of 170 km, the company said.
It is powered by a 13.8 kWh lithium-ion battery and will also be available with a 15-minute 100 per cent charging option.
In the three-wheeler segment, the company has a presence in 101 different markets in India and plans to reach 150 markets in FY26. It has sold over 10,000 units so far.

GDP alone cannot decide country's growth, Amit Shah

Union Minister for Home and Cooperation Amit Shah on Friday said that India's growth cannot depend merely on GDP numbers but employment generation is also a key factor. 'The steps taken by Prime Minister Narendra Modi will ensure that the cooperative sector grows equally across the country and it will be a big boost to the economy. Our country cannot grow merely on GDP. With a population of 130-140 crore, the GDP will grow rapidly for sure. But everyone should get employment as well. If the rural women, youth are to get employment, then cooperation is the only tool which connects them to employment opportunities,' said Shah. He was speaking at the national conference organised by Nafed on the occasion of 2025 being the International Year of Cooperatives. Earlier, Shah said that cooperative sector weakened in the northern and eastern parts of the country and maintained to work towards symmetrical development in the coming years. 'We are already taking steps to change uneven growth of the cooperative sector to symmetrical development. The co-operative movement had weakened in the northern and eastern parts of the country and was stable mostly in western India…Cooperative sector provides for growth and development of the economy with less capital and more profit. We will make the cooperation sector progress with landmark growth and strengthen it in the nook and corner of the country,' Shah said. Shah said cooperative movement revolutionalised the rural economy and gave the example of Amul in Gujarat where 36 lakh women associated with it didn't even have Rs 100 in capital but have today handling a turnover of Rs 80,000 crore. He mentioned that dal, maize, oil seeds can be sold to Nafed from farmers and if the market rate is more, farmers can sell the produce directly. 'It is to ensure that farmers get the maximum profit,' he said. Shah said the cooperation ministry has compiled a data of cooperative units in the country so that the government knows where the vacuum is and how to expand it. Two lakh new primary agriculture credit societies (PACS) will also be formed and will be made multi-dimensional, he said.

Nothing Headphone 1 to launch in India on July 1, its sound will be tuned by premium audio company KEF

On July 1, Nothing is launching its Phone 3 in India. Now the company has confirmed that it will also be launching the Headphone 1, its first full-size headphones, in India on the same day. While it was earlier revealed that the Headphone 1 will be launched at Nothing's global event on July 1, on Friday, the company confirmed that the product is also coming to India on the same day. advertisementThe Nothing Phone 3 will also be coming to India on July 1. The confirmation about the headphones came from Akis Evangelidis, the co-founder of Nothing and its current India head. Akis tweeted on Friday, 'Headphone (1) will be launched in India at the same time as global.'Akis tweeted on the same day when multiple leaks confirmed the design of the Headphone 1. For its first big headphones, the company is going to follow a similar retro-futuristic design, complete with transparent back and industrial look, which it has so far followed with its phones. As for the earpads, it seems Nothing is going with a squarish shape instead of round, similar to some of the Bowers & Wilkins that we have seen earlier. The design also hints that the Headphone 1 is going to be a premium set of cans, with the headband using some metal and lots of padding. Along with the design, which has now come to light, we already know that the Headphone 1 will have its sound tuned by KEF. Now, KEF is a brand solely focussed on extremely high-end audio products. While its specialisation is in speakers, the brand also sells a headphone — KEF MU 7 — that is priced around $400. So, it is expected that the Headphone 1 may offer the kind of sound that punches above its weight and price point. advertisementAlthough more details about the Nothing Headphone 1 will become clear in the coming days, or on July 1, there is an indication that with its headphones, the company is taking an aim at the likes of Sony and Bose, which sell highly-regarded full-size wireless headphones. And, just like it does in the phone market, Nothing may possibly try to undercut the audio giants in pricing with the Headphone 1. This means it may come in around Rs 25,000 to Rs 30,000. Along with the Headphone 1, Nothing is also launching the Phone 3 on July 1. The phone, which Nothing is calling its 'true flagship', is going to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset. Compared to the Phone 2, it is also expected to feature a revamped camera system as well as other key improvements in areas like screen and sound system. It is expected that the Nothing Phone 3 may get a price of around Rs 60,000 in India.
