Electric rickshaws (e-rickshaws) are the backbone of last-mile transportation in India. From narrow streets in Delhi to busy lanes in Varanasi, these three-wheelers are transforming urban and rural mobility. But powering them efficiently and economically is critical—and that’s where LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) batteries are setting a new benchmark.
Here’s why LFP batteries are emerging as the most reliable and future-ready option for India’s e-rickshaw segment.
E-rickshaw drivers often run their vehicles 8–12 hours daily. A battery with a short lifespan means frequent replacement, downtime, and loss of income.
With LFP packs from 9AP by Ambit Transmission, fleet operators and individual drivers get maximum run time with minimal maintenance.
India’s e-rickshaws face harsh environments—dust, potholes, heatwaves, and flooding. Safety isn’t optional.
LFP batteries are:
Our LFP batteries are AIS-156 certified, tested for crush, drop, overcharge, short-circuit, and water ingress protection.
LFP batteries weigh 50–60% less than their lead-acid counterparts and offer:
For the same footprint, you get higher usable capacity and greater range per charge—which translates to more trips, more passengers, more profit.
Lead-acid batteries need:
LFP batteries? Zero maintenance.
This alone saves time, money, and technical training—a big win for small fleet owners and drivers with minimal resources.
Though the upfront cost of LFP is higher, the lifetime value far outweighs it.

The Indian government is actively phasing out lead-acid-based EVs. Incentives under schemes like FAME-II and State EV Policies often favor lithium-ion technology, especially AIS-156 compliant LFP packs.
By switching to LFP now, you’re not just future-proofing your vehicle—you’re becoming eligible for government support, subsidies, and incentives.
In a sector where uptime is income and reliability is survival, LFP batteries offer everything an e-rickshaw operator needs:
♦ Long life
♦ High safety
♦ Low maintenance
♦ Better range
♦ Faster charging
At Ambit Transmission (9AP), we design and manufacture advanced LFP battery packs specifically for Indian e-rickshaws—with a focus on affordability, customization, and long-term reliability.
