Bengaluru Startup InfinityX Innovations Gets TDB Support For Next‑Gen EV Battery Swapping

India’s electric mobility ecosystem received a major boost as the Technology Development Board (TDB), Department of Science & Technology (DST), signed an agreement with Bengaluru-based InfinityX Innovations Private Limited to support the commercialization of automated battery swapping stations for electric vehicles.

The project, backed by TDB financial assistance, aims to deploy IoT-enabled, automated battery swapping stations capable of completing a swap in under 40 seconds. This innovation directly addresses one of the biggest barriers to EV adoption—charging time—particularly for commercial fleets and last-mile delivery operators.

InfinityX’s solution integrates advanced battery systems with automated swapping infrastructure, offering high thermal stability and operational reliability across diverse Indian conditions. Its modular battery architecture ensures compatibility across multiple vehicle platforms, enabling interoperability and scalability. The system is designed for high-utilization use cases, making it especially relevant for gig economy workers and fleet operators transitioning to electric mobility.

With TDB’s support, InfinityX will establish a dedicated manufacturing facility in Bengaluru to scale production of next-generation battery packs and swapping stations. The initiative is expected to contribute to a standardized and interoperable battery swapping network, strengthening India’s domestic EV infrastructure and reducing reliance on imported technologies.

Shri Rajesh Kumar Pathak, Secretary, TDB, emphasized that accelerating deployment of efficient charging alternatives is critical for India’s EV growth. He noted that indigenous innovations such as automated battery swapping systems can play a transformative role in enabling faster adoption, particularly in high-demand commercial segments.

InfinityX CEO and Founder expressed gratitude for the support, highlighting that reducing battery transition time to under 40 seconds makes EV energy replenishment comparable to conventional refuelling, thereby improving operational efficiency and accessibility.

InfinityX Innovations is a Bengaluru-based EV technology startup founded in 2019, focused on automated battery swapping solutions. It has raised early-stage funding, including a pre-seed round of $80K in May 2022, and has received accelerator support and government backing through the Technology Development Board (TDB).
