Are current battery testing methods enough to match the speed of innovation in the EV market? With this question in mind, Exeliq, a Noida startup, is pushing the boundaries of testing and automation in India, giving OEMs the tools and expertise to create more resilient battery systems.
Based in Noida Sector 63, Exeliq has been transforming the test and measurement (T&M) landscape for Indian manufacturers for the past eight years. The company was founded in 2017 by a team of college-freshman engineers with a simple idea: T&M automation is affordable and accessible to all. Their first breakthrough came through a Facebook post from an OEM working with Havells. The project earned them credibility and revenue, which they used to formalise the company. Through those lean foundations, Exeliq has evolved into a fully bootstrapped technology provider with a clear mission to empower Indian manufacturers with advanced test automation capabilities.
Exeliq offers comprehensive test solutions for the electric vehicle (EV) market, encompassing battery, battery management system, motor, drive train and cluster testing. One key aspect of the company’s expansion is its early adoption of Industry 4.0 principles. The team developed an in-house platform that enables any machine or test system to connect to central servers and produce clean data to support analytics and artificial intelligence models.
Currently, Exeliq is focusing on the Indian market. As national initiatives such as Aatmanirbhar Bharat and the surge in domestic manufacturing present opportunities, the company can leverage local knowledge and quick-service personalisation to serve customers effectively. Because test systems should be updated to accommodate new variants, manufacturers prefer partners who can provide affordable upgrades rather than requiring repetitive, significant capital investments. This has accelerated the shift to Indian vendors that offer reliable in-person service.
Exeliq encompasses design and mechanical development, fabrication, software and hardware, testing, and commissioning under one roof in Noida. The operation is managed by a team of approximately thirty people, supported by a distributor network spanning major cities in South and West India. The machines are manufactured in Noida and delivered nationwide, with preventive and breakdown services offered either by the headquarters or by local associates.
The company has a growing battery-testing segment. As EV adoption is driven by government incentives, more manufacturers are building their own battery units. Exeliq has introduced the Volt Pro series of battery testing for two-wheeler, three-wheeler, four-wheeler and inverter segments. The transition to domestic battery pack production has created demand for reliable testing facilities, and Exeliq is set to meet this need.
Recently, Exeliq launched the Volt Pro series, an all-in-one battery test platform that eliminates the need for separate stages and multiple machines. It measures internal resistance, load and pulse charge, gathers detailed information and supports impedance spectroscopy. The company took a year to refine the system, resolving initial setbacks related to signal distortion and sensitivity to battery imbalance. The result is a stable, corrective platform that addresses increasing safety demands.
Exeliq also invests in engineering talent by hiring new graduates on campus and implementing a buddy system that pairs them with experienced engineers. In the next five years, the company expects to become the leading test and measurement provider in India. The founders believe there is significant potential to expand existing solutions. They will continue to support customers in developing better test labs, correcting frequent errors, and preparing for a future shaped by the growing use of electricity and renewable energy.
