Patanjali, a well-known Indian company in the FMCG and healthcare industry, has made a bold entry into the electric vehicle space with the launch of an electric scooter. The scooter boasts an impressive range of 440 kilometers on a single charge, making it an attractive option for daily commuters. Powered by a removable lithium-ion battery, the scooter can reach a maximum speed of 60 km/h and takes around 3-4 hours to fully charge. Weighing around 75-80 kilograms, the scooter features front and rear drum brakes and is available in four colors: white, blue, grey, and black.
What’s remarkable about this electric scooter is its affordability, priced at ₹14,000, which is significantly lower than the average price of electric scooters in India, ranging between ₹70,000 and ₹1.2 lakh. This makes it an attractive option for mass market consumers, particularly those in small towns, students, and environmentally conscious individuals looking for a cost-effective and eco-friendly mode of transportation. The scooter’s lightweight body also makes it a convenient option for women seeking safe mobility.
Patanjali’s electric scooter is designed to be cheap, environmentally friendly, and widely available, positioning it as a competitive option for first-time buyers of electric vehicles. Although the company has not made an official announcement regarding booking links or delivery timelines, it has hinted at a phased rollout plan, starting with pilot cities in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand. Pre-booking will be available through authorized Patanjali outlets and a dedicated mobile app, with a country-wide launch expected by the end of 2025. With its affordable price and impressive features, Patanjali’s electric scooter is likely to disrupt the Indian electric vehicle market and appeal to a wide range of consumers.
