After releasing the Extinction MK-1 and Extinction MK-II prototypes, Pravaig unveiled the DEFY and the VEER in New Delhi in November 2022.[4][5][6] The DEFY is an SUV with a range of 500km, powered by dual motors that generate more than 600 Nm of torque.[7] The interiors of the DEFY are lined with sustainable fabrics made from recycled materials, such as PET, and feature vegan leather upholstery.[8] The VEER, an SUV designed for defense forces, includes features such as a thermal imaging sensor, airlift hooks, a winch, and a tow hitch.[9]
Pravaig provides energy storage solutions (ESS) and Field Pack batteries to clients, including the French renewable energy company Eren Groupe , solar farms in Greece, and combat forces in Europe.[10][11][12] Speculation about a potential collaboration with Renault arose after an article featured a Renault Kiger vehicle with a red number plate at Pravaig’s headquarters, suggesting that the company might be working with Renault on its electrification efforts.[13]
