Rare-Earth-Free EV Motors: Vimag Labs on Performance & India’s Motor Future

Can India reduce its dependence on imported motor technology without compromising EV performance? In this All India EV conversation, Ankit Sharma speaks with Manish from Vimag Labs about the company’s rare-earth-free magnet motor technology, its VMSM motor, and the journey from development to commercial deployment. Manish explains how Vimag Labs is approaching motor innovation and shares the company’s performance claims against PMSM motors: comparable torque profiles, 8–10% smaller motor volume, and 15–20% more power. The discussion covers: • Why India needs to develop its own advanced motor technology • Rare-earth-free motors and their potential for EV manufacturers • Vimag’s VMSM motor compared with conventional PMSM motors • OEM collaborations, testing, and commercialisation plans • Opportunities in two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and diesel-truck conversions • What it takes to move a new motor technology into production The performance figures and commercialisation expectations discussed reflect statements made by Manish during the interview. Watch the full conversation for an engineering and market perspective on India’s EV motor opportunity.
