Telangana to house world’s largest electric 3-wheeler factory

A California-based company, Biliti Electric Inc (Biliti), plans to build the largest three-wheeler factory in the world in Telangana. Biliti will produce 240,000 electric vehicles annually in the factory.

The Biliti Electric Telangana factory is headed by Rahul Gayam, an entrepreneur from Hyderabad. At present, the company manufactures its electric three-wheelers through an exclusive manufacturing arrangement with the Hyderabad-based Gayam Motor Works (GMW).

It is predicted that Biliti Electric’s new plant in Telangana will create 3,000 jobs in the state. The project represents the largest investment in the E.V industry in Telangana this year. In addition, Fisker, a California-based company had also announced that its second headquarters would be located in Hyderabad.

It is expected that Biliti Electric’s plant will be operational by 2023 and have a capacity to manufacture 18,000 vehicles per year. A bigger facility with the capacity to produce 240,000 E.V. units per year will be operational by 2024.

The plant will produce Biliti Electric’s entire line of electric vehicles, including a last-mile delivery vehicle called the “Taskman” that is used in 15 different countries around the world. In addition, a passenger version of the Taskman, the “Urban”, will be produced at the plant for global markets.

Minister of Industries and Information Technology K.T. Rama Rao stated: “When we announced the E.V. policy two years ago, we had the goal of attracting electric vehicle manufacturing to Telangana. It is now becoming a reality with companies like Biliti constructing the world’s largest three-wheeler factory here.”

According to Rahul Gayam, the Taskman has already made over 12 million deliveries worldwide. He added that the batteries and drivetrain are compact and modular in design. This allows them to have wider applications in the auto, marine, warehousing, and backup power sectors enabling the buildout of an EV ecosystem.
