Coulomb LiTech Private Limited has secured ₹20 crore in seed funding to scale its battery manufacturing capabilities and strengthen its position in India’s growing electric vehicle ecosystem. Founded in 2020 by IIT Kanpur alumni Ameya Sathe and Darshil Dharod, the company plans to deploy the capital toward setting up a new manufacturing facility in Navi Mumbai.
The funding will also support business expansion, research and development, and the scaling of pilot programs in heavy electric vehicle segments. The move reflects rising investor interest in domestic battery technology players catering to industrial and commercial EV applications.
Targeting Heavy EV Segments with High-Voltage Battery Systems
Coulomb LiTech is focusing on heavy-duty EV applications, including electric tractors, cranes, material handling equipment, and electric three-wheelers. These segments demand robust battery systems capable of handling higher loads and longer operating cycles.
The company offers battery systems across a voltage range of 51V to 700V, with capacities of up to 80 kWh. This wide configuration range enables flexibility across multiple vehicle categories and industrial use cases, positioning the startup to address both mobility and equipment electrification needs.
Integrated Technology Stack and Advanced Battery Solutions
Coulomb differentiates itself through in-house development of key battery subsystems. Its technology stack includes proprietary battery management systems (BMS), liquid cooling systems for thermal stability, CCS charging systems, and IoT-enabled analytics platforms.
By combining hardware, thermal management, and digital monitoring capabilities, the company aims to deliver performance-driven battery solutions tailored to demanding heavy EV applications. As India accelerates electrification across commercial and industrial segments, scalable domestic battery manufacturing capacity will play a critical role in strengthening the country’s EV value chain.
