The Hyderabad-based startup Cellestial E-Mobility, launched its first e-tractor early last month. The electric powered tractor, engineered to be zero-emission and environment-friendly, is designed to benefit the Indian agri and goods carriage market.
The 6HP e-tractor (equivalent to 21HP diesel tractor) is equipped with features like battery swapping, regenerative braking, power inversion (can be used to power a UPS), charging from residential AC outlet and fast charging. Making it an ideal vehicle for horticultural or greenhouse works, or even moving goods within factories, warehouses and to haul baggage at airports.
Cellestial E-Mobility was set up in May 2019, and was funded with $200,000 as initial investment from Singapore-based strategic investor. Its e-haulage products and services aim to cater to the requirement of electrical mobility systems. The company believes 'Green is the new Innovation', and is working on creating smart automotive solutions through designing and manufacturing vehicles powered by sustainable energy sources.

Following is an online interview with Siddharth Durairajan, CEO & Founder – Cellestial E-Mobility, where he talks about the salient features of the e-tractor and the company's future plans.
