Tech in Asia·2025-06-09 20:00

Vecmocon Technologies, a Delhi-based deeptech electric mobility solutions provider, has completed its series A funding round, securing a total of US$18 million.

The latest phase of US$8 million was led by Ecosystem Integrity Fund (EIF), with contributions from Aavishkaar Capital.

This funding builds on the US$10 million raised in November 2024, which was also led by EIF and included investments from British International Investment (BII) and Blume Ventures.

The company plans to use the new funds to improve its R&D efforts.

Vecmocon specializes in electric vehicle solutions, including battery management systems, smart chargers, and vehicle intelligence modules. It serves original equipment manufacturers, fleet operators, and EV infrastructure firms.

Founded in 2016, Vecmocon’s technology supports over 100,000 EVs, including two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and light commercial vehicles.

The firm also aims to expand its offerings to high-voltage electric vehicles, passenger cars, and electric buses.

🧠 Food for thought

1️⃣ India’s strategic policies fueling local EV tech innovation

Vecmocon’s $18 million funding success reflects how India’s policy framework is creating a fertile environment for domestic EV technology companies.

The company’s alignment with government initiatives like FAME-II (which allocated ₹11,500 crore to promote the EV ecosystem) and the Production-Linked Incentive scheme provides crucial support for its growth ambitions 1.

These policies are designed to reduce dependence on imported components and build domestic capabilities, with PLI specifically incentivizing local manufacturing of critical EV components 2.

India’s approach focuses on creating an end-to-end ecosystem, from component development to final assembly, which positions companies like Vecmocon to become global suppliers rather than just domestic players.

This government-backed push has already shown results, with India selling over 2 million EVs in 2024, marking a 25.4% year-on-year growth despite reduction in subsidies 3.

2️⃣ The rising importance of EV intelligence systems in global mobility transformation

Vecmocon’s focus on developing an “EV intelligence stack” highlights how software and electronics are becoming as crucial as batteries in the EV value chain.

As global energy transition investments reached $2.1 trillion in 2024 (an 11% increase from the previous year), intelligent systems that manage battery performance, vehicle diagnostics, and charging infrastructure are receiving substantial funding 4.

Battery Management Systems (BMS) like those Vecmocon develops are critical as battery costs continue to fall—from $1,000/kWh in 2010 to approximately $210-230/kWh recently—making EVs increasingly competitive with traditional vehicles 5.

These intelligence platforms solve key adoption barriers by addressing range anxiety, improving battery longevity, and enabling predictive maintenance—all essential for the projected growth to 8.4 million EVs globally by 2025 5.

3️⃣ India’s unique EV market characteristics create differentiated growth opportunities

Unlike Western markets dominated by passenger cars, India’s EV revolution is being led by two-wheelers and three-wheelers, creating distinctive opportunities for companies like Vecmocon.

The electric two-wheeler segment in India is expected to grow at an impressive CAGR of 30-40%, potentially exceeding 1 million units annually, presenting significant scaling opportunities for component suppliers 3.

The FAME II scheme helped electric two-wheelers achieve 75% of their revised target while electric three-wheelers reached 84%, demonstrating strong market traction in these segments 1.

This market structure aligns with Vecmocon’s product focus, as their solutions are enabling “more than 100,000 vehicles, including two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and light commercial vehicles.”

Companies that can serve this unique market composition while meeting stringent cost requirements are positioned to develop solutions that can later be adapted for global markets, particularly in other emerging economies with similar transportation profiles.
