Economic Empowerment and Inclusion
Drivers have earned more than ₹2,800 crore, saving approximately 130 minutes per day and increasing monthly income by more than ₹3,000. This economic transformation directly addresses the affordability barrier that has historically hindered EV adoption among last-mile mobility operators.
The franchise-led expansion model demonstrates impressive scalability. More than 1,600 local partners have collectively earned over ₹130 crore, creating sustainable entrepreneurship opportunities across urban and semi-urban centers. The network’s commitment to inclusion is evident with over 5,000 women drivers and more than 250 women partners actively participating in the ecosystem.
Environmental Contributions Beyond Carbon
Battery Smart’s environmental impact extends beyond CO₂ reduction. The network has contributed to reductions in NOₓ, CO, and PM pollution across cities, directly improving urban air quality in densely populated areas where two and three-wheelers constitute the majority of vehicular traffic.
Technology-Driven Circular Economy
With more than 270,000 IoT-enabled batteries deployed, Battery Smart outlines a circular economy roadmap strengthened by safety and inclusion efforts. This technological backbone enables real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and optimized battery lifecycle management—critical factors for scaling battery-swapping infrastructure sustainably.
Ambitious Expansion Roadmap
Battery Smart’s expansion strategy targets aggressive growth. The company plans to expand to 100 cities by 2026, deploy more IoT-enabled batteries, and strengthen safety, innovation, and circularity in building a national-scale EV ecosystem. This timeline aligns with India’s broader electric mobility adoption targets and infrastructure development initiatives.
The TÜV SÜD assurance provides third-party validation of reported impact metrics, establishing credibility as battery-swapping networks increasingly position themselves as climate-critical infrastructure.
