Creatara Mobility has taken a major step toward commercial electric mobility with the inauguration of its first manufacturing facility in Faridabad, Haryana. The Creatara Mobility EV Plant marks the startup’s transition from research, product development, and certification to commercial series production.
With an installed annual capacity of 30,000 electric two-wheelers, the Delhi-NCR facility will manufacture the company’s flagship IN40 and VM4 crossover e2Ws. Founded in 2018 out of IIT Delhi, Creatara has gradually built capabilities across technology, supply chain, and manufacturing. The company says its phased approach is designed to support market-led growth while advancing its “Made in India, Made for the World” vision.
What Is New About Creatara Mobility’s EV Plant?
Creatara Mobility has inaugurated its first electric two-wheeler manufacturing plant in Faridabad with an annual installed capacity of 30,000 units. The facility will produce the IN40 and VM4 crossover electric two-wheelers for domestic and export markets.
Creatara Mobility EV Plant Begins Commercial Production
The inauguration represents an important manufacturing milestone for Creatara Mobility as the company moves beyond research and development into commercial-scale production.
Located in Faridabad in the Delhi-NCR region, the facility can produce around 30,000 electric two-wheelers annually, equivalent to roughly 100 vehicles per day at installed capacity.
The company plans to manufacture its flagship IN40 and VM4 models at the facility. Both electric two-wheelers were first showcased in January 2025 and are positioned as crossover and intelligent mobility products aimed particularly at younger riders.

IN40 and VM4 Bring a Lifestyle-Focused EV Approach
The new facility will manufacture Creatara’s IN40 and VM4 crossover electric two-wheelers. The company is positioning the models beyond conventional commuter-focused electric scooters, with an emphasis on lifestyle, design, customization, and technology.
Creatara says the vehicles are designed for college students, young professionals, and younger, style-conscious riders. The company aims to combine globally aligned styling with advanced engineering and customization options.
The two models are built around a proprietary platform featuring an AI-ready Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) and portable, swappable battery packs.
This architecture is intended to provide flexibility while supporting connected and intelligent vehicle functions as electric mobility technology continues to evolve.
In-House EV Technology Development
Rather than focusing only on vehicle assembly, Creatara says it has progressively developed in-house capabilities across several critical areas of electric mobility.
These include:
- Electric powertrain technology
- Battery systems
- Electronics
- Tooling
- Connected technology
- Product development
- Certification capabilities
The company has followed a step-by-step development strategy, building technical and operational capabilities before moving into manufacturing.
This approach has also helped Creatara establish an ecosystem of more than 150 vendors and partners, supporting its supply chain and manufacturing operations.
Japanese 5S Methodology Adopted at New Facility
The Creatara Mobility EV Plant has adopted the Japanese 5S manufacturing methodology to establish organized, scalable, and repeatable production processes.
The 5S framework consists of:
- Sort—Removing unnecessary items from the workplace.
- Set in Order – Organizing tools and materials for efficient access.
- Shine—Maintaining a clean and orderly production environment.
- Standardize—Creating consistent operating processes.
- Sustain—Maintaining these standards over time.
Creatara says the approach is intended to create a manufacturing system that can scale alongside market demand while maintaining consistency in production.
From IIT Delhi Startup to EV Manufacturer
Creatara Mobility was founded in 2018 out of IIT Delhi. Its journey has progressed through multiple stages, beginning with technology and product development before moving into certification, supply-chain creation, and now manufacturing.
Founder and CEO Vikas Gupta described the company’s approach as a journey where the factory was not the starting point. Instead, the company first focused on developing an idea into a product, validating it and completing certification before establishing manufacturing capacity.
This progression reflects the company’s stated strategy of building capabilities in stages rather than pursuing manufacturing scale at the earliest possible stage.
Capital Discipline at the Core of Expansion
Co-founder Ringlarei Pamei said Creatara’s expansion has been guided by disciplined capital deployment.
According to the company, its strategy has not been to spend aggressively to achieve scale. Instead, it has focused on developing capabilities sequentially across technology, product development, certification, supply chain, and manufacturing.
The company believes this approach allows production capacity to be expanded in phases in line with actual market demand.
Its broader objective is captured in the phrase “Made in India, Made for the World,” reflecting ambitions to serve both Indian and international markets.
Faridabad Strengthens Delhi-NCR EV Manufacturing Ecosystem
The opening of the facility adds another electric two-wheeler manufacturing operation to the growing Delhi-NCR EV ecosystem.
The region offers access to component suppliers, engineering talent, logistics infrastructure, and a large consumer market across northern India. For emerging EV manufacturers, establishing production facilities in or around the NCR can also support supply-chain coordination and distribution.
Creatara’s Faridabad facility therefore forms part of a broader expansion of electric mobility manufacturing activity in the region.
What the New Plant Means for Creatara
The opening of the Creatara Mobility EV Plant moves the company into a new phase where manufacturing execution becomes as important as product development.
With an installed capacity of 30,000 units annually, Creatara has established a production base that can potentially be expanded as demand develops. The company will now need to build production volumes, distribution, customer support, and after-sales operations around its IN40 and VM4 models.
The move also places Creatara in competition with established two-wheeler manufacturers and other emerging EV companies targeting India’s rapidly evolving electric mobility market.
For the startup, the next phase will be about converting its technology, product positioning, and manufacturing capabilities into sustained commercial adoption.
Bottom Line
Creatara Mobility’s Faridabad plant marks the company’s shift from an IIT Delhi-originated EV startup focused on research, development, and certification to a manufacturer entering commercial series production.
With 30,000-unit annual installed capacity, IN40 and VM4 production, swappable battery technology, an AI-ready VCU, more than 150 supply-chain partners and a phased capital strategy, the company is laying the manufacturing foundation for its next stage of growth.
Its focus on lifestyle-oriented electric two-wheelers and the “Made in India, Made for the World” vision will now be tested in the competitive Indian EV market as the company scales production and expands its reach.
