The deal includes Log9’s engineering and production teams, as well as its manufacturing facility in Devanahalli, Bangalore.
Shares of Jupiter Wagons jumped 7.2%, reaching an intraday high of Rs 521.8 on the BSE after its subsidiary, Jupiter Electric Mobility, acquired Log9’s technology and business assets.

In a strategic move, Jupiter Electric Mobility's acquisition of Log9’s assets strengthens its Railway Battery and Electric Truck Battery Divisions. The deal includes Log9’s engineering and production teams, as well as its manufacturing facility in Devanahalli, Bangalore.
This acquisition enables Jupiter Electric Mobility to backward integrate battery production for its electric light commercial vehicles (eLCVs), enhancing its competitiveness in the EV market. It also supports Jupiter Wagons’ expansion in the Railways sector, providing capabilities to produce in-house battery solutions tailored for Indian Railways applications.
