The streets of Delhi tell a compelling story about India's environmental challenge. With the National Green Tribunal's (NGT) strict 10-year age limit on diesel vehicles, thousands of well-maintained cars are prematurely sent to the scrapyard each year, creating a massive economic and environmental burden. This is the real-world problem our startup, rEVolve EV, aims to solve. Instead of scrapping these valuable assets, we offer a sustainable, certified, and cost-effective alternative: retrofitting.
This problem matters deeply to me because I believe in the power of innovation to address waste and pollution. I've seen firsthand how the bond between a person and their vehicle is broken by a regulation that, while well-intentioned, fails to consider an alternative. Our mission is to keep these vehicles on the road, breathing new, clean life into them while preserving their sentimental value.
The current market has two major gaps. First, while government regulations now permit retrofitting, the number of certified, trustworthy retrofitters remains low. Second, the cost for converting larger vehicles like SUVs and pickup trucks is often prohibitively high. We aim to bridge this gap by developing and gaining ARAI certification for a line of retrofitting kits that are not only affordable but also specifically designed for popular, heavier models, offering a realistic path to electric mobility.
Our technical solution involves a complete powertrain replacement. We remove the existing internal combustion engine, fuel tank, and exhaust system. In their place, we install a high-efficiency electric motor, a powerful lithium-ion battery pack, and an intelligent control unit that manages power delivery, regenerative braking, and charging. Our process is transparent, RTO-approved, and backed by comprehensive warranties on the key components. By focusing on certified kits and a professional installation process, we ensure that every retrofitted vehicle is reliable, safe, and fully legal to operate, providing peace of mind and a greener future for its owner.
