Indian electric vehicle (EV) start-up Creatara has announced a significant milestone in its journey towards innovation and sustainability with the receipt of a ₹3.9 crore grant from the Ministry of Heavy Industries, Government of India.
Awarded under the Capital Goods Scheme, this grant is earmarked for the development of indigenous technology, positioning Creatara at the forefront of India’s burgeoning EV landscape. The grant serves as a strategic catalyst, propelling Creatara’s endeavours to accelerate the pace of indigenous EV technology development. With a steadfast commitment to research and development, the company intends to leverage this funding to further enhance its innovative capabilities, fostering a culture of innovation and sustainability within the EV sector. Founded by Vikas Gupta and Ringlarei Pamei, alumni of IIT Delhi, Creatara has already made waves with its pioneering concepts, namely the VS4 and VM4 e-scooters. These concepts boast a plethora of convenience and safety features, including a modular platform, long-travel suspension, high-ground clearance, GPS tracking, and hill-friendly navigation, among others.

The claimed range of 100 km on a single charge, coupled with a charging time of 4-5 hours, positions Creatara as a frontrunner in the EV market. While specific specifications of the concept scooters remain undisclosed, Creatara has hinted at the incorporation of its proprietary Vehicle Control Unit (VCU), underscoring its commitment to technological innovation and advancement within the EV ecosystem. Creatara’s receipt of the ₹3.9 crore grant underscores its pivotal role in driving indigenous EV technology development in India. With a focus on innovation and sustainability, Creatara is poised to make significant strides toward shaping the future of mobility in the country.
