Olectra Greentech is an early company to enter the electric truck market in India. The company has recently launched its fully electric tipper truck as well as expanding into heavy-duty vehicles with the same vehicle platforms that are used to transport coal, bulk goods, and minerals in the construction and mining industries.
In addition, Olectra's latest line of electric trucks is what many other manufacturers in this space are striving to achieve. Electric trucks from Olectra provide an opportunity for businesses that operate diesel-based fleets to transition to electrification and contribute to the overall goal of converting fleets to zero-emission operations. Through the use of powerful torque, extensive battery systems, and highly engineered chassis, Olectra has been able to deliver high-quality electric truck solutions.
The company’s first heavy-duty EV tipper, the Olectra Meghaetron 28T brings electric mobility into demanding applications like quarry work, overburden removal and construction aggregates. It’s built for high load cycles, frequent stop-go work and steep gradients, where electric drivetrains perform especially well due to instant torque and lower mechanical stress.
Because there is only one model in the lineup right now, Olectra’s commercial truck portfolio is simple, but it represents a major push toward zero-emission heavy trucks in India.
Olectra Meghaetron ex-showroom price range is around ₹1.30 - ₹1.60 Cr*. Final pricing will depend on battery configuration, state incentives and customer requirements.
