National E-Bike Challenge Begins at Galgotias University, Focus on Green Mobility

Greater Noida, April 4, 2026: The 9th edition of the SIEP E-Bike Challenge is being held from April 3 to April 7, 2026, at Galgotias University, bringing together engineering students and innovators from across India to compete in sustainable mobility solutions.

Organized by the Imperial Society of Innovative Engineers (ISIEINDIA) in collaboration with Galgotias University, the national-level event has attracted over 350 participants and 23 teams from 10 states, including Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Kerala, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh, and Goa.

The competition features multiple green-energy categories such as high-performance Go-Karts, E-Bikes, solar-powered vehicles, and both two-wheel and four-wheel electric vehicles. Participants are required to design, develop, and test functional prototypes, focusing on energy efficiency, innovation, and real-world applicability.

The challenge serves as a platform for young engineers to demonstrate technical capabilities, creativity, and problem-solving skills while addressing real-world energy and mobility concerns.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Vinod Gupta, Founder and President of ISIEINDIA, emphasized the importance of industry-aligned student innovation in addressing global energy challenges.

Adding a global perspective, Dr. Dhruv Galgotia, CEO of Galgotias University, said, “At a time when geopolitical tensions in the Gulf region continue to impact global energy supply chains and fuel stability, the need for sustainable and self-reliant mobility solutions has become more urgent than ever. Initiatives like the SIEP E-Bike Challenge empower young innovators to develop practical, scalable alternatives that can reduce dependency on conventional fuels and contribute to a more resilient and sustainable future.”
The inaugural session was attended by key dignitaries including Sh. Sushil Kumar Agarwal, Regional Director, Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship, Government of India), Mr. Rajiv E Executive Director, International, Automobile Centre of Excellence), Dr. Ajay Shrivastav, CEO, Anexion Transformation, and Mr. Nitin Khindria, CHRO, Omega Seiki Mobility.

The event aims to provide students with hands-on experience in designing energy-efficient vehicles while addressing challenges related to fuel dependency and environmental sustainability. It also serves as a platform to bridge the gap between academic learning and industry requirements.

As teams test their vehicles in real-time conditions, the challenge reflects the growing focus on clean energy innovation and the role of young engineers in advancing India’s transition toward sustainable transportation.
