In December last year, EKA, Mitsui, and Dutch technology and manufacturing firm VDL Groep entered into a strategic long-term partnership. This collaboration includes phased joint investments totaling USD 100 million (Rs 850 crore), equity, and technology cooperation aimed at establishing a leading global OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) in India.
Earlier this year, Mitsui’s initial tranche investment enabled EKA Mobility to establish one of the country’s largest R&D centers for electric commercial vehicles, supporting new product development and enhancing export capabilities.
