Kinetic Watts & Volts eyes seven overseas markets

Kinetic Watts & Volts (KWV) is evaluating seven international markets as the Pune-based electric two-wheeler maker looks to expand beyond India. Turkey, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Kenya, Nigeria and Egypt are currently being assessed, with KWV studying local regulations, customer requirements, electric two-wheeler demand and potential distribution partners.

  1. International expansion to cover markets across Europe, South Asia and Africa
  2. Makarand Joshi appointed to lead KWV’s international business development
  3. Company plans to add 40 more exclusive showrooms in India

Kinetic EV international expansion plans

It has also issued 150 LOIs to prospective dealership partners.

KWV currently sells the Kinetic DX and DX+ electric scooters in India, with the range positioned around accessible urban mobility. The company is now looking to identify markets and distribution partners that can support its next phase of growth overseas.

KWV has appointed Makarand Joshi as head of international business development to lead its overseas plans. Joshi has more than two decades of experience in developing overseas markets for Indian automotive products, with experience across Asia, the Middle East, Europe and Africa. His background includes two-wheelers, commercial vehicles and tractors, as well as international distribution and market-entry strategies.

Ajinkya Firodia, Vice Chairman and Managing Director, Kinetic Watts & Volts, said the company’s products had been designed with a broad range of markets in mind. He added that the momentum of its domestic business had allowed KWV to begin laying the groundwork for international expansion. The company is yet to confirm which of the seven markets it will enter or provide a timeline for its overseas launch.

KWV’s international plans come as it continues to build its presence in the Indian market. The company currently has 45 exclusive showrooms and expects another 40 outlets to become operational within the next two months. It has also issued 150 Letters of Intent (LOI) to prospective dealership partners.

Ather is targeting to more than double its retail footprint to between 1,800 and 2,000 stores over the next two years as the EV maker rolls out its new family scooter Konarc and expands production capacity, according to a senior company official. The company currently sells the 450X and Rizta electric scooters, which are positioned in the premium and mass premium segments of the market across some 750 stores. The company plans to use its new EL platform to broaden its product range into the more affordable segment.

  1. More scooters of different battery sizes expected from the EL platform
  2. Ather EV motorcycle at least two years away
  3. Production capacity to increase with the Aurangabad plant becoming operational

More products expected from the Konarc’s EL platform

The newly unveiled Konarc will be available in two variants and six battery options at a starting ex-showroom price of Rs 99,999. The delivery of the first two battery options (S 125 and S 161) is set to commence in September 2026. “We are targeting 1,800 to 2,000 stores in the next 24 months,” Ather Energy’s Chief Business Officer Ravneet Phokela said. Phokela said the company expects the domestic market to remain its main focus for now, with exports only becoming important after a few years.

The EL platform, on which the Konarc is based, can produce different types of scooters, and it can also accommodate different battery sizes, wheel dimensions and dashboard designs. The company boasts that the platform helps launch more products while also reducing costs through changes like lower use of aluminium and simpler engineering. Ather has said it plans to launch multiple scooter products based on the platform first; and added that an Ather electric motorcycle is more than two years away.

Ather’s push into a wider range of scooters comes as the company looks to increase production capacity. Ather currently manufactures electric scooters at its Hosur plant, which has an annual production capacity of 4.20 lakh units. Its upcoming Aurangabad facility is expected to add another 5 lakh units of annual capacity when its first phase becomes operational later this year. The company said that it’s also considering whether to accelerate the second phase of the Aurangabad facility if demand continues to grow at its current pace.

Ather is among the first electric two-wheeler makers to be listed on CSD

The CSD is a government-run retail network under the Ministry of Defence that allows eligible Armed Forces personnel, veterans and their families to purchase a range of goods, including vehicles, at concessional prices. Vehicles purchased through the CSD channel are eligible for applicable GST concessions.

Ather becomes one of the first electric two-wheeler manufacturers in India to have its products listed on the CSD platform. Eight variants from the Ather 450 performance scooter range and Rizta family scooter lineup will be available through the channel. The performance-focused Ather 450 Apex, however, will not be available through CSD.

Eligible customers will be able to purchase the listed Ather scooters with manufacturer-backed discounts, which will apply over and above the applicable GST concessions available on CSD purchases. The exact benefit will vary depending on the model and variant.

The CSD listing expands Ather’s sales reach to eligible defence personnel and gives them another channel through which to purchase its electric scooters.

The Wave has been developed for everyday mobility, with Simple Energy highlighting comfort, practicality and shared journeys. It will take on family-oriented electric scooters such as the Ather Rizta, TVS iQube and Bajaj Chetak.

The scooter has been spotted testing in India on several occasions. Earlier test mules featured a large single-piece seat, a spacious-looking floorboard, telescopic front suspension and twin rear shock absorbers. Braking hardware included a front disc and rear drum, while a TFT instrument display was also seen on test vehicles. Simple Energy has not yet confirmed the final production specification.

The Wave represents a move into a broader part of the electric scooter market for Simple Energy, whose existing products have focused on performance and technology. The company says its new scooter has been developed through its in-house R&D and engineering capabilities, including proprietary software and vehicle technologies.

Simple Energy also says it is the first Indian OEM to commercially manufacture heavy rare earth-free electric motors, highlighting its focus on developing key technologies in-house.

Technical details of the Wave have not yet been revealed. Battery capacity, motor output, claimed range, charging specifications, variants and pricing are expected to be announced at the September 2 launch.

PM E-Drive subsidy for electric two-wheelers extended to March 2028

Posted on by admin
PM E-Drive subsidy for electric two-wheelers extended to March 2028
graphic of 3 electric scooters on a podium

The government has extended demand incentives for electric two-wheelers under the PM E-Drive scheme to March 31, 2028, through a notification issued by the Ministry of Heavy Industries. The move gives electric two-wheeler manufacturers a longer subsidy runway, following an earlier extension only up to July 31, 2026. 

  1. PM E-Drive subsidy for electric two-wheelers extended to March 31, 2028
  2. Segment allocation raised by Rs 1,000 crore to Rs 2,767 crore
  3. Per-vehicle subsidy rate unchanged at Rs 2,500 per kWh, capped at Rs 5,000

PM E-Drive extension details

The scheme remains fund-limited – subsidies could end before March 2028 if funds are exhausted

The total allocation for the electric two-wheeler segment under the scheme has also been increased by Rs 1,000 crore to Rs 2,767 crore, while the overall PM E-Drive scheme outlay rises to Rs 11,900 crore. 

The subsidy rate for electric two-wheelers registered between April 1, 2025, and March 31, 2028, remains at Rs 2,500 per kWh of battery capacity, subject to a maximum of Rs 5,000 per vehicle. This is lower than the Rs 5,000 per kWh (capped at Rs 10,000 per vehicle) offered in FY25, a reduction the government made as part of a planned tapering of EV support. The maximum ex-factory price of an eligible electric two-wheeler also remains unchanged at Rs 1.5 lakh. The incentive is capped at the specified amount or 15 percent of the ex-factory price, whichever is lower. The number of electric two-wheelers eligible for support under the scheme has been raised to 45,79,120 units.

That said, the scheme is fund-limited. If the Rs 11,900 crore total outlay or the allocation for any specific component is exhausted before March 31, 2028, that component can be closed and no further claims will be entertained. December 31, 2027, has been set as the last date for submitting claims.

The extension comes at a time when electric two-wheeler sales have grown sharply in India. According to Vahan data, electric two-wheeler sales reached 1.46 million units in FY26 – up significantly from 2,52,787 units in FY22 – and the segment crossed 2 lakh monthly sales for the first time in July 2026. The continuation of the subsidy is expected to sustain momentum in the segment, particularly in the sub-Rs 1.5 lakh price category where the majority of mainstream electric scooters are sold.

E3 Trion electric scooter launched at Rs 1 lakh

Bengaluru-based electric mobility startup E3 Electric.AI has launched its first electric scooter, the Trion, at an introductory price of Rs 1 lakh (ex-showroom, Bengaluru). The new electric scooter is available in three variants – C1, C1x and C2 – and the company is positioning AI-based predictive features and a modular platform as its key differentiators.

  1. Trion range starts at Rs 1 lakh
  2. Available with 2.3kWh and 3kWh LFP batteries
  3. Top-spec C2 has an 82kph claimed top speed

E3 Trion battery, range and performance

The C1x has a claimed IDC range of 165km

The entry-level Trion C1 uses a removable 2.3kWh LFP battery, while the C1x and C2 get larger, fixed 3kWh LFP units. All three variants use a PMSM hub motor, although E3 has yet to disclose detailed motor output figures.

E3 claims an IDC range of 165km for the C1x. The range figure for the C1 hasn’t been revealed yet. Meanwhile, the range-topping C2 has a claimed top speed of 82kph and can accelerate from 0-40kph in 6 seconds. The C1 and C1x have Eco and Power riding modes, while the C2 adds a Sport mode.

The Trion rides on 14-inch wheels, which are larger than those on most electric scooters currently on sale in India. E3 also says the scooter offers up to 52 litres of combined storage across its underseat compartment, floorboard and glovebox. However, just the underseat storage hasn’t been disclosed. 

E3 Trion features

Its connected suite includes predictive diagnostics, navigation and remote vehicle functions

E3 describes the Trion as India’s first AI-powered intelligent electric scooter. Central to this is what the company calls the E3 CommandCenter, which uses vehicle and cloud data to monitor the scooter and provide predictive diagnostics and service alerts.

The scooter gets a 5-inch LCD display and connected functionality through the company’s TripSense system, which essentially uses the Rider’s smartphone as a secondary display to provide additional information. Features include navigation, a trip planner with charger locations, remote battery monitoring, vehicle controls, geofencing, SOS assistance and a dashcam. E3 also claims that its AI HealthScan feature can perform vehicle diagnostics in 10 seconds.

The battery system incorporates what E3 calls an AI Digital Twin, which is claimed to provide real-time diagnostics and predictive information about the battery. Both battery options use LFP chemistry.

Other equipment includes dual-projector LED headlights, LED tail-lights and IP67-rated weather protection. The Trion is based on E3’s Triaxisframe modular architecture, which has been designed to accommodate different battery configurations and future derivatives.

E3 Trion price, variants and availability

Pre-bookings have opened in Bengaluru, with more markets to follow

The Trion is available in six colours: Solar Red, Misty Green, Graphite Grey, Nova Blue, Teal Blue and Luna White. Accessories include a backrest, helmet, phone holder and pillion footrest.

The E3 Trion C1 has been introduced at Rs 99,999, while the C1x costs Rs 1.10 lakh and the range-topping C2 is priced at Rs 1.20 lakh. All prices are introductory and ex-showroom, Bengaluru.

Pre-bookings have opened in Bengaluru, and E3 says other markets will follow. The company is also offering an extended warranty of up to eight years or 1 lakh kilometres.

TVS electric scooter sales cross 3 lakh units in January-July 2026

Posted on by admin
TVS electric scooter sales cross 3 lakh units in January-July 2026

TVS Motor Company has crossed the 3 lakh-unit electric scooter sales milestone in the first seven months of CY2026, with retail volumes of over 3.07 lakh units between January and July. The company has already achieved around 97 percent of its CY2025 electric two-wheeler sales of 3.15 lakh units.

  1. TVS sells over 3.07 lakh electric scooters in January-July 2026
  2. July sales hit a record 55,465 units
  3. CY2026 sales could cross the 5 lakh-unit mark

July delivers record monthly volumes for TVS

TVS’ January-July performance makes the Hosur-based brand the fastest electric two-wheeler manufacturer in India to cross 3 lakh retail sales in a calendar year.

For comparison, Ola Electric, then the market leader, took a little over eight months to cross the 3 lakh-unit mark in CY2024. Ola finished that year with over 4.29 lakh units, currently the highest calendar-year retail volume recorded by an Indian electric two-wheeler manufacturer.

TVS recorded its highest monthly electric scooter sales in July 2026 at 55,465 units. March was the other month in which the company crossed the 50,000-unit mark, with sales of 51,632 units.

The company has averaged 43,898 units per month during the January-July period. Maintaining a similar run rate over the remaining five months would take TVS beyond the 5 lakh-unit mark in CY2026.

The upcoming festive season, which begins around mid-September, could provide a further boost to volumes. At its current pace, TVS could add around 2.20 lakh – 2.40 lakh units between August and December, potentially taking its full-year tally to an estimated 5.27 lakh – 5.47 lakh units.

TVS leads Bajaj and Ather

TVS continues to lead India’s electric two-wheeler market after the first seven months of CY2026, ahead of Bajaj Auto and Ather Energy.

Bajaj retailed just under 2.64 lakh electric two-wheelers between January and July, around 43,400 units fewer than TVS. The company’s seven-month volume is equivalent to around 94 percent of the over 2.79 lakh units it sold in CY2025.

Ather Energy ranks third with just over 2 lakh units during the same period, around 93 percent of its CY2025 volume of 2.15 lakh units. TVS currently leads Ather by over 1.07 lakh units.

Hero Vida gains; Ola ranks fifth

Vida – Hero MotoCorp’s electric subsidiary – ranks fourth with just under 1.29 lakh units sold during January-July 2026. This is already around 14 percent higher than its full-year CY2025 volume of 1.13 lakh units.

Ola Electric, meanwhile, has retailed 80,282 units in the first seven months of CY2026, equivalent to around 39 percent of the over 2.04 lakh units it sold last year.

Greaves Electric Mobility ranks sixth with 53,938 units, representing around 93 percent of its CY2025 volume of 57,699 units.

With TVS approaching its entire CY2025 volume after only seven months and both Bajaj Auto and Ather Energy also nearing their respective previous full-year totals, CY2026 is shaping up to be another year of strong volume growth for India’s leading electric two-wheeler manufacturers.
