L&T Electronic Products & Systems (LTEPS) has entered into a strategic partnership with global electric propulsion technology company EVR Motors to jointly develop, manufacture and deploy next-generation electric vehicle traction motors for the Indian market.
The partnership was announced by Larsen & Toubro in a statement on Wednesday, 27 May.
The collaboration will bring together L&T’s engineering, systems integration and manufacturing capabilities with EVR Motors’ traction motor technology.
According to L&T, the partnership is aligned with the Government of India’s Make in India and Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiatives.
LTEPS and EVR Motors will work to industrialise advanced traction motor solutions suited for Indian operating conditions, with focus areas including high efficiency, compact packaging and reduced reliance on rare-earth materials.
The partnership will cover multiple vehicle segments, including two-wheelers, three-wheelers, passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles.
L&T said the collaboration will support original equipment manufacturers in meeting evolving performance, cost and localisation requirements.
The traction motors are proposed to be manufactured at LTEPS’s manufacturing plant in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu.
Together with indigenously designed motor control units, the traction motors are expected to offer customers a complete EV drivetrain solution.
The development is significant because traction motors and motor control units form core components of electric vehicle powertrains.
Local development and manufacturing of these systems can help reduce dependence on imported EV components while supporting India’s wider electric mobility supply chain.
Prashant Jain, Head of L&T Electronic Products & Systems, said the partnership reflects the company’s commitment to developing indigenous, high-performance solutions that support India’s clean mobility ambitions.
“By combining advanced motor innovation with indigenous motor control unit, we bridge the gap between cutting-edge technology and real-world deployment across India’s EV landscape,” Jain said.
Opher Doron, CEO of EVR Motors, said the collaboration with LTEPS would help scale innovation responsibly and deliver traction motor solutions that are technologically superior, manufacturable, reliable and tailored for Indian mobility needs.
Sajal Kishore, Managing Director of EVR India, said India’s electric mobility transformation requires system-level powertrain integration and deep localisation.
“The collaboration between EVR Motors and L&T will enable next-generation electric powertrain solutions across mobility segments,” Kishore said.
LTEPS is a new business unit of Larsen & Toubro engaged in the design, development and manufacture of advanced electronic systems and solutions for defence, aerospace, industrial and energy applications.
The unit focuses on high-reliability products across the lifecycle, from concept to industrialisation.
EVR Motors is a global electric propulsion technology company specialising in patented traction motor solutions for electric vehicles across multiple segments.
According to L&T, EVR Motors’ motor architecture is designed to deliver high power density, reduced material usage and improved adaptability to support cost-effective and scalable EV adoption.
For India’s EV ecosystem, the tie-up adds another localisation effort in a segment where technology, manufacturing scale and supply security are central to long-term competitiveness.
