Zelio Gracy i Featured in Dainik Jagran's Top 4 Electric Scooter List
Dainik Jagran, one of the largest media houses in India, recently compared the country's top electric scooters by top speed and the Zelio Gracy i led the list ahead of models from Hero and TVS. The reasoning behind it says a lot about where the scooter stands right now. What Dainik Jagran Said About the Zelio Gracy i The article pointed to the Gracy i as a strong option for budget conscious buyers in India. At an ex-showroom price of Rs 56,709, it covers up to 90 kilometres on a single full charge with a top speed of 25 kmph. Topping a list like this ahead of scooters from companies that have built vehicles in India for decades is not a small thing. It means the Gracy i held its own against brands with a much longer track record in the country. Why This Coverage Matters A national outlet comparing electric scooters on merit and landing on the Gracy i as the top pick says something honest about where its price, range and performance sit against the rest of the market. The Gracy i already has 80 to 90 km of range and a solid base of daily riders . Independent coverage like this just confirms what a lot of those riders have been saying for a while. What This Means If You Are Considering the Gracy i If the Gracy i was already on your shortlist, this is one more reason it makes sense. Independent coverage lining up with what current owners already say about the scooter is rarely a coincidence. Within Zelio's own range, the Gracy i sits between two other options. The Zelio Little Gracy costs less and suits shorter city trips along with first time riders. The Zelio Legender+ Premium costs more and is built for riders covering longer distances daily. For most people commuting somewhere in between those two extremes, the Gracy i tends to be the one that fits best, and that's probably part of why it caught Dainik Jagran's attention to begin with. If you want to see how the Gracy i's price compares with the rest of the Zelio models, the battery scooty price list breaks down every model by battery type and price. If skipping the licence and registration process matters to you, most of Zelio's lineup including the Gracy i falls under what is commonly called a non RTO scooter , which removes that step from the buying process entirely. About Zelio E-Bikes Zelio E-Bikes is one of India's fastest growing electric two-wheeler brands, with over 2,50,000 riders and 350+ dealerships across urban, semi-urban and rural areas. Every scooter is designed and manufactured in India, built to handle Indian roads and weather conditions. The brand's lineup runs from budget-friendly models like the Little Gracy to higher-range options like the Legender+ Premium , most of them priced under Rs 1,00,000. Zelio backs its scooters with a 2-year comprehensive warranty on the motor, controller and frame.

Zelio E Mobility Gujarat Dealers Meet 2026
Last week Zelio brought its Gujarat dealer network together for an event, the company is calling the Gujarat Dealers Meet 2026, themed around Driving Gujarat Towards an Electric Future. Word of it spread quickly through Zelio's official channels and people following the brand's progress in the state responded well, which says something about how closely people are watching the company's moves in this region right now. Why Gujarat Specifically Gujarat is not a small market for Zelio. It is one of the strongest states in the company's network, built on a dealer chain that has grown steadily across cities including Ahmedabad, Surat and Vadodara. Zelio counts Gujarat among the handful of states where it has a real, established presence, right alongside markets like Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. This meet was not about breaking into a new market. Gujarat already matters too much to Zelio for that. It was about pushing further into a state the company has already done well in, rather than sitting back because things are going fine. The plan is simple: more outlets, better coordination between dealers and a stronger local support system, the kind of investment a state usually gets when a brand actually wants to lead there instead of just being present. Check the latest prices of Zelio Electric Scooter at Battery Scooty Price list Why a Meet Like This Actually Happens A dealer meet is rarely just a formality. Most of the time it comes down to one thing: making sure every dealer in the state is telling the same story and offering the same experience, whether a customer walks in on day one or comes back two years later with a service question. For a brand that positions itself among the better electric scooter makers in the country, that kind of consistency is not optional. A dealer in Ahmedabad and a dealer in Surat need to sound like they work for the same company, not two different ones. Getting an entire state's network in one room is how that actually gets sorted, rather than hoping every showroom figures it out on its own. These meets are also where a company shares what is coming next and what dealers should be preparing their teams for. That kind of thing rarely lands well over a phone call or a group chat. It works when people are sitting across from each other in the same room, in a state the company clearly intends to keep growing in. What This Means If You Are in Gujarat If you are in Gujarat and thinking about an electric scooter, a stronger and better aligned dealer network nearby is a real, practical benefit, even if it never makes for a dramatic headline. It usually shows up in smaller ways. Shorter waits for stock. Staff who actually know the current lineup instead of reciting a brochure. A service experience that still holds up once the scooter has been on the road for a while. It also lines up with something a lot of buyers in the state have already picked up on. Zelio has earned a solid reputation as one of the more dependable electric scooter brands in India and a meet like this is really just the company making sure that reputation keeps holding up in one of the states where it matters most. If you want to see what is available near you, the Zelio dealer locator covers current showrooms across Gujarat and the rest of the country. A Few Zelio Electric Scooters Available Through the Network Dealers across Gujarat carry Zelio's full range, so it is worth knowing what most riders actually end up buying. The Zelio Gracy i is the model most people walk out with, built for everyday city commuting with a solid mix of range and reliability. Someone wanting something lighter for narrower streets usually looks at the Zelio Little Gracy instead. Riders covering longer distances tend to go for the Zelio Legender+ Premium which carries a bigger battery built for exactly that kind of daily use. If skipping the licence and registration process matters to you, it is also worth checking what is often called a non RTO scooter , since most of Zelio's Gujarat lineup falls into that category
Zelio E-Mobility Starts Operations at Its New Coimbatore Manufacturing Plant
A few months ago we told you Zelio was planning a new plant in Coimbatore. That plan has now become a running facility. Commercial production started this week, and the timing matters just as much as the announcement did back in March. Here is what actually changed, what it means for riders in the South, and why a 39,000 sq ft facility on Trichy Road is a bigger deal than its size suggests. How Quickly This Went From Plan to Reality When Zelio first spoke about Coimbatore, the plan was to begin setting up the facility in April and have it commercially operational by July. That is exactly what happened. The plant is now assembling electric scooters, and it started production the same day it was formally opened. That kind of timeline discipline is worth noting on its own. A lot of manufacturing announcements in India slip by months, sometimes years. Zelio moved from plan to production in roughly three months of setup time, which says something about how the company runs its expansion playbook by this point. This is the fourth facility it has commissioned in a similar window, after Ladwa, Patan, and Cuttack. What the Coimbatore Plant Actually Does The facility is located on Trichy Road and covers close to 39,000 square feet. It handles scooter assembly along with storage, logistics, and the everyday operational work that keeps a regional supply chain moving. It is not a components factory. It takes Zelio's existing scooter lineup and puts it together closer to where people are actually buying. That difference is bigger than it sounds. A plant based in Haryana shipping scooters down to Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and South Maharashtra adds days to delivery and adds cost to every unit that travels that far. Building closer to these six markets cuts out a big chunk of that friction in one move. The plant can produce up to 60,000 units a year at full capacity. Zelio is not pushing it that hard from day one. The initial phase is expected to turn out somewhere between 24,000 and 30,000 units annually, with output scaling up gradually as demand in the region grows. That is a sensible way to ramp a new facility instead of overcommitting early and struggling to hit the number. What This Adds to Zelio's Overall Manufacturing Capacity With Coimbatore now live, Zelio's total installed manufacturing capacity across India stands at 2,40,000 units a year. Before this plant came online, that number was 1,80,000. That is a 33 percent jump in one move. To put the full network in perspective, Zelio now runs four plants. Ladwa in Haryana remains the largest at roughly 2,63,450 square feet. Patan, also in Haryana, adds another 2,52,301 square feet. Cuttack in Odisha, commissioned earlier this year, covers around 30,500 square feet. Coimbatore is the newest addition at close to 39,000 square feet. Four plants across three states is a meaningfully different company than the one that was running a single facility in Hisar a few years ago. It reflects a manufacturing strategy built around getting closer to demand clusters rather than centralising everything and shipping outward. How Many People Will Work at the New Plant The Coimbatore facility currently employs 30 people directly. That number is set to grow past 100 in the coming months, which lines up with Zelio's broader plan to cross 500 employees company-wide by the end of this financial year, up from around 260 today. The roles being filled here are not just factory floor positions. They include plant leadership, production planning, quality control, and the kind of operational staff that keeps a new facility running smoothly as it scales. For Coimbatore specifically, this hiring is happening at the same time the plant is being commissioned for larger-scale output, so the workforce is growing alongside the production ramp rather than after it. Why South India, and Why Now Kunal Arya, Managing Director of Zelio E-Mobility , has been consistent about the reasoning behind this plant since it was first announced. His view is that South India represents a genuine growth corridor for the company, driven by rising demand for electric mobility and strong underlying market potential in the region. He has framed the Coimbatore facility as a strategic move to tighten the supply chain and support the pace at which Zelio's dealer network is expanding in the South. That dealer expansion is real and ongoing. Zelio currently operates through more than 400 dealerships spread across 25-plus states, and the plan for the coming year is to push that past 550, with South India and the North-East as the two regions getting the sharpest focus. A local manufacturing base in Coimbatore is the natural companion to that dealer growth. More outlets without local supply just means longer waits for customers and higher freight costs for the company. Coimbatore closes that gap for six states in one go. Planning to Buy a Zelio Scooter in South India? Here's What You Should Know For a rider in Chennai, Bengaluru, Kochi, Hyderabad, or Coimbatore itself, the practical impact of this plant shows up in two places over the coming months. Delivery timelines to dealerships in these markets should shorten as inventory starts moving from a facility that is days closer rather than a full country away. And as the plant scales toward its 60,000 unit capacity, dealer stock availability across these states should improve, meaning fewer waitlists for popular models. The scooters coming out of Coimbatore are built to the same manufacturing standards and quality protocols as every other Zelio plant. This is not a lower-spec regional line. It is the same product, assembled closer to home for southern buyers. If you want to check current models and pricing, the Zelio dealer locator is the fastest way to find your nearest showroom as the network in the South continues to expand. For the latest on-road prices across Zelio's lineup, see the battery scooty price list . How This Fits Into Zelio's Larger Growth Story Coimbatore is not an isolated move. It follows the Cuttack plant that came online earlier this year, and it lines up with a company that reported revenue of Rs 313.68 crore in FY26, up 81.8 percent over the year before, while staying profitable the entire time. That combination of manufacturing expansion funded by actual business performance, rather than a story built purely on investor capital, is what separates this expansion from a lot of the noise in the wider Indian EV space right now. A new plant commissioned every few months, a workforce doubling in the same year, and a dealer network aiming to cross 550 outlets are not three separate announcements. They are one company scaling in a coordinated way, and Coimbatore going live this month is simply the latest piece of that falling into place.

Zelio E-Mobility Plans to Double Its Workforce in FY27
Zelio E-Mobility, the Hisar-based electric two and three-wheeler manufacturer, has announced it will more than double its workforce during the current financial year. The company currently has around 260 employees spread across its manufacturing facilities in Hisar, Bhubaneswar, and Coimbatore. The plan is to take that number past 500 before the end of FY27. This is not a speculative growth target. It is a response to actual business performance. Zelio reported revenue of Rs 313.68 crore in FY26, an 81.8 percent increase over the Rs 172.19 crore it posted the year before. The company has been profitable since inception and has recorded a revenue CAGR of approximately 121 percent over the last four years. The hiring push is the company catching up to where the business already is. Where the New Hires Are Going The expansion is spread across three locations, each with a specific purpose. Hisar - Zelio's headquarters and primary manufacturing base in Haryana. The bulk of the hiring here will focus on production, quality control, and core manufacturing operations. Bhubaneswar - Zelio's facility in Odisha supporting the East India and North-East expansion push. Coimbatore - The newest facility in the lineup. Coimbatore is still being commissioned and ramped up, which makes it the most significant of the three locations in terms of what the hiring signals. A hundred new employees at a facility that is just scaling up means Zelio is serious about South India as a growth market. The roles being filled span manufacturing, R&D, quality, production planning, zonal sales leadership, and after-sales service. These are not temporary or support hires. They are the people who run plants, lead sales territories, and keep the service network functional as dealerships grow. What Our CEO Said Divyanshu Agarwal, CEO of Zelio E-Mobility, explained the thinking behind how the company approaches expansion: "Our expansion is not only focused on manufacturing growth but also on building strong local ecosystems in each region we operate in, ensuring long-term value creation through employment and skill development." That framing matters. Zelio is not building factories and shipping in management from headquarters. The plan is to hire locally in Bhubaneswar and Coimbatore, creating jobs and skills in those markets specifically. For a company entering new geographies, that approach tends to build stickier relationships with local governments, dealers, and customers than a centralized model does. Divyanshu also made the point that this has been consistent with how Zelio has operated since its founding: "Since the beginning, Zelio has always been a people-first company. Wherever we enter, whether a state or a city, our focus is to create meaningful job opportunities and contribute to local employment." The Business Context Behind the Hiring Zelio listed on the BSE SME platform in October 2025. The IPO raised Rs 78.34 crore, including a fresh issue of Rs 58.84 crore and an offer for sale of Rs 15.50 crore. The IPO was subscribed 1.5 times overall. Since listing, the company has continued to perform. The FY26 revenue of Rs 313.68 crore represents the strongest year the company has had, and it came after years of consistent profitability that set Zelio apart from several larger EV peers that are still reporting losses. The dealership network currently stands at 400+ outlets across 25+ states. The target for FY27 is 550+ dealerships, with a specific focus on South India and the North-East. The Coimbatore hiring directly supports the South India push, and the Bhubaneswar hires support the East and North-East strategy. For a company to expand its dealer network to 550 locations and maintain after-sales quality across that footprint, it needs the backend workforce to match. That is the practical reason behind the 500+ headcount target. Why This Matters Beyond Zelio Zelio's expansion follows a pattern that tells you something about where the Indian EV market is heading, particularly in the slow-speed electric scooter segment. The brands seeing the fastest growth in this segment are not the ones with the biggest advertising spends. They are the ones building manufacturing depth, dealer width, and service reliability simultaneously. A dealer in a tier-2 city who cannot get spare parts within 48 hours or reach a service professional by phone becomes a liability, not an asset. Zelio's hiring of after-sales professionals and zonal sales leaders alongside plant staff reflects an understanding of this. The 121 percent revenue CAGR over four years, combined with consistent profitability, also tells a different story than the wider EV narrative in India, where many companies are still in investment mode and reporting operating losses. Zelio has been growing while keeping the business in the black, which gives the current expansion a more stable foundation than if it were funded purely by external capital. With 2 lakh+ riders already on Zelio scooters across India and a lineup of 19 models starting at Rs 47,784, the workforce expansion is ultimately about making sure the company can serve what it has already sold, and confidently sell more. For the latest on-road prices across Zelio's lineup, see the battery scooty price list . What Roles Zelio Is Hiring For Based on the official announcement, the hiring covers: - Plant heads and production planning specialists - R&D and quality control professionals - Zonal sales managers and regional sales leaders - After-sales service and customer support professionals - Manufacturing floor staff at Hisar and Coimbatore If you are looking to be part of Zelio's expansion, The Zelio E-Mobility careers is the right place to start.

Delhi’s New EV Policy 2026 - What It Means for Electric Scooter Buyers in Delhi
Delhi has approved its new Electric Vehicle Policy and it came into effect on July 1, 2026. For anyone who has been sitting on the fence about buying an electric scooter in Delhi, this policy changes the financial calculation significantly. Here is what the policy actually says, what it means for two-wheeler buyers specifically, and what people from inside the EV industry are saying about it. What the Delhi's New EV Policy 2026 Actually Covers The Delhi EV Policy 2026 is built around three pillars: consumer incentives to bring down the cost of buying an EV, infrastructure investment to make charging accessible across the city, and a phased timeline to move Delhi away from petrol and diesel vehicles over the coming years. 100% road tax and registration fee exemption - For electric cars priced up to Rs 30 lakh. This removes one of the most significant upfront costs for EV buyers in this segment. Subsidies for electric two-wheeler buyers - The policy introduces purchase incentives for electric two-wheelers, with subsidies of up to Rs 30,000 for buyers in the first year of the policy. For a Delhi rider looking at an electric scooter, this directly reduces the on-road cost. Expansion of EV charging infrastructure - The policy commits to a significant push on public charging points across the city, addressing the range anxiety and charging accessibility concerns that have held back EV adoption in Delhi's denser residential areas. Phased ICE phase-out timeline - The policy outlines a phased transition towards EV-only registrations in selected vehicle categories over the coming years, giving the industry and buyers a clear signal about the direction Delhi is heading. What the Chief Minister said, Delhi CM Rekha Gupta has pitched the policy as a savings measure first, an environmental one second. Her framing: buyers want to know if going electric actually saves money, and the mix of purchase subsidies, scrapping incentives, and lifetime road tax exemption is meant to make that answer an easy yes. Private car buyers don't get a purchase subsidy under the policy, but scrapping an old petrol or diesel car for an EV still qualifies for up to ₹1 lakh in scrapping benefits plus the tax waivers. On charging, she treats the rollout as a trust issue, not a checklist item. "Charging infrastructure is not merely about installing chargers," she said, framing the planned expansion to 32,000 points as the thing that actually gets people to switch. She's also been clear the transition won't happen overnight. Existing petrol and diesel vehicles keep running as long as they're legally on the road. The shift to electric-only registrations comes in phases, through 2027 and 2028. What This Means if You Are Buying an Electric Scooter in Delhi For a Delhi rider considering an electric scooter, the 2026 policy stacks multiple savings together in year one. The up to Rs 30,000 subsidy on two-wheelers, combined with the existing 100% road tax and registration exemption for low-speed electric scooters that was already in place before this policy, means the real out-of-pocket cost of switching to electric has dropped again. A Zelio Gracy i starting at Rs 58,159 in Delhi, with the two-wheeler subsidy applied, could effectively come down to around Rs 28,000-30,000 lower than its listed price for eligible buyers. Combined with the Rs 30,000-40,000 annual savings on fuel and servicing that any electric scooter already delivers at Rs 0.25 per km, the financial case for switching has never been stronger for Delhi commuters. The charging infrastructure push also directly addresses one of the real daily concerns for riders who live in apartments or shared housing where home charging is not always possible. The EV industry welcomed the policy with clear and specific reactions, not just generic approval. Kunal Arya, Co-founder and Managing Director of Zelio E Mobility, responded directly to the announcement: "Delhi's EV Policy 2026 is a decisive step toward making electric mobility mainstream, accessible, and infrastructure-backed. The combination of demand incentives including subsidies of up to Rs 30,000 for two-wheeler buyers in the first year along with a clear ICE phase-out timeline and a strong push for charging infrastructure, creates a practical ecosystem for accelerated EV adoption. What stands out is the policy's balanced approach: driving consumer demand while addressing the charging accessibility barrier head-on. For the EV industry, this sends a clear signal that policy is moving beyond intent to execution." Kunal also pointed to the particular impact the policy will have on two-wheeler and last-mile mobility adoption: "At Zelio E-Mobility, we believe such progressive frameworks will significantly accelerate EV penetration, especially in the two-wheeler and intra-city last-mile mobility segments, where adoption delivers immediate environmental and economic impact. Delhi is setting a benchmark that other urban centres will closely watch." Why Two-Wheelers Are at the Centre of This Delhi's vehicle population is dominated by two-wheelers. They account for the largest share of registered vehicles in the city and contribute significantly to both traffic congestion and air pollution. Any EV policy that moves the needle on two-wheeler electrification moves the needle on Delhi's air quality. The 2026 policy's explicit focus on two-wheeler subsidies and the eventual ICE phase-out timeline for this category signals that Delhi is not just thinking about EV cars for the affluent buyer. It is targeting the rider who currently uses a petrol scooter for daily commuting, because that is where the volume is and where the environmental impact is greatest. For that rider, the combination of the Rs 30,000 subsidy, zero road tax, zero registration fee, and Rs 0.25 per km running cost makes switching to an electric scooter in Delhi a decision that is financially hard to argue against in 2026. How Zelio Electric Scooters Fit Into This Zelio's lineup spans low-speed and high-speed electric scooters across several price points in Delhi. The low-speed models already qualify for no-licence, no-registration treatment under existing motor vehicle rules, and that now stacks with the new policy's subsidies for eligible buyers. For the full list of current models and prices, see the Delhi electric scooter price list . If you're curious how those prices compare once you factor in road tax exemptions, PM E-DRIVE subsidies, and the other line items that make up an on-road cost, the battery scooty price list breaks all of that down across budget, mid-range, and premium models. If you want to see the five-year cost breakdown against a petrol scooter, the electric vs petrol scooter comparison lays it out. And if you're trying to match a model to your commute and budget, the best electric scooters under ₹70,000 guide is a good starting point. The Bigger Picture Kunal Arya's observation that "Delhi is setting a benchmark that other urban centres will closely watch" reflects something worth noting. Delhi is not the first Indian city to offer EV subsidies, but the combination of the subsidy quantum, the charging infrastructure commitment, and the phased ICE transition timeline in a single cohesive policy is more structured than what most other cities have managed. If this policy drives meaningful two-wheeler electrification in Delhi over the next two to three years, the template will almost certainly be picked up by other state capitals. For EV brands operating in India, that trajectory matters more than any single subsidy figure. For individual buyers in Delhi in 2026, the question is simpler: has the policy made buying an electric scooter the better financial decision today? The answer, for most daily commuters doing 30-50 km a day, is yes.

Zelio E-Mobility Unveils New Electric Rickshaw, Tanga Nine+ at RideAsia EV Expo 2026
Zelio E-Mobility made a strong appearance at the RideAsia EV Expo 2026 held at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi. Among the two launches the company brought to India's largest EV trade event, the one that drew the most attention from fleet operators and last-mile transport buyers was the Tanga Nine+ E- Rickshaw, an upgraded electric three-wheeler built specifically for passenger transport in urban and semi-urban India. The commercial launch of the Tanga Nine+ is expected in Q2 of the current financial year. Tanga Nine+ 2026, How is it Different from the Tanga Nine The original Tanga Nine established Zelio's presence in the electric rickshaw passenger segment. The Tanga Nine+ is not a minor refresh. It addresses the two most practical concerns for any electric three-wheeler operator: how safe is the vehicle for passengers, and how much can it earn per trip. The biggest change is the introduction of an Autosafe front design. Most electric three-wheelers in India use an open-front or mirror-front structure that leaves the front of the vehicle exposed. The Tanga Nine+ replaces this with an enclosed Autosafe front, improving protection for passengers and giving drivers more confidence while operating in dense traffic. The second major upgrade is seating capacity. The original Tanga Nine seated five passengers. The Tanga Nine+ seats up to eight . For an operator running shared mobility on a fixed route, this is a direct increase in revenue per trip without any additional fuel or operating cost. Kunal Arya, Managing Director of Zelio E-Mobility Stated "Last-mile mobility in India is evolving rapidly, and there is a clear need for solutions that balance safety, capacity, and economic viability. With the Tanga Nine+, we have focused on addressing these core requirements by introducing an Autosafe front design and significantly enhancing passenger capacity.

It is built for the kind of routes Indian shared transport operators actually run every day. Narrow city roads, stop-start traffic, shared mobility between residential colonies and metro stations, inter-village routes in semi-urban areas. A 150 km range on a single charge means a full day of operations for most routes without a mid-shift recharge. The 2.5 kW BLDC/PMSM motor, 670 mm legroom, and combi braking system reflect engineering decisions made with daily commercial use in mind. The Autosafe front design is particularly relevant in India's traffic conditions where three-wheelers frequently operate alongside heavy vehicles, buses, and two-wheelers moving at varying speeds. Better front protection means fewer injuries in minor collisions, which directly affects an operator's livelihood. If you run a E- Rickshaw on a fixed city route, the numbers here are worth knowing. Eight passengers versus five means 60 percent more capacity per trip on the same route, same driver, same charge. A 150 km range covers most full-day operations without a top-up stop. The Autosafe front design reduces risk in minor traffic incidents. And the combi braking system gives more predictable stopping in heavy mixed traffic. Pricing, dealer availability, and financing options will be announced when the commercial launch happens in Q2 Of the current Financial Year.

From 72,000 to 1,80,000 Units/yr: The Story Behind Zelio’s Biggest Capacity Leap
There's a question we've heard a lot over the past two years - from dealers in Odisha & West Bengal who've been waiting a week or more for stock to arrive from our Hisar factory: " When are you setting up something closer to us? " The answer, as of February 2026, is: NOW Zelio E-Mobility has commissioned a new manufacturing facility in Cuttack, Odisha - our second production unit, and our most important strategic move since we went public. This isn't just a new building. It changes how we serve Eastern India, how fast riders get their scooters, and how aggressively we can grow in the region that's been driving some of our best numbers. Here's the full story behind the decision - and what it means for our riders, dealers, and the markets we're building in. Why Cuttack? Why Now? The honest answer is that Eastern India didn't wait for us to decide. Odisha and West Bengal grew into two of Zelio's highest-performing markets on their own - through word of mouth, through dealers who believed in the product, and through riders who found that a Zelio scooter did exactly what it promised: ran reliably, cost little to maintain, and didn't drain their savings. But serving that demand from a single factory in Hisar, Haryana - nearly 1,700 km away - was starting to create real friction. Delivery timelines stretched to a week or more. Dealer inventory ran thin. The supply chain, built for one geography, was being asked to stretch across half the country. The Cuttack plant solves this cleanly. It puts manufacturing inside the demand zone - helps us deliver faster and efficiently. What's Changed: The Capacity Picture Before this expansion, Zelio had a single production facility in Hisar with an installed capacity of 72,000 electric scooters per year. That number has now changed significantly - on two fronts simultaneously. The Hisar plant didn't just stay the same while we built elsewhere. Through process-level optimization, installation of extended conveyor systems, and additional machinery, we've grown Hisar's output from 72,000 to 1,20,000 units per year - without building a new facility or a large capital outlay. The Cuttack plant adds a further 60,000 units per year , focused initially on electric two-wheelers. Put together: Zelio's total installed production capacity has grown from 72,000 to 1,80,000 units per annum - a 150% increase. And it happened not through a single massive investment, but through two focused, efficient moves. The entire Odisha facility was commissioned for under Rs. 3 crore. We take some pride in that number. A lesser-known truth about scaling a manufacturing operation is that efficiency - how you use what you already have, and how leanly you set up what's new - matters as much as the headline capacity number. The Cuttack plant reflects how we think about growth: purposeful, measured, and designed not to burden the business (or our riders) with unnecessary cost. For Riders, For Dealers For riders and dealers across Eastern and Southern India, the most immediate change is simpler than any statistic: your scooter will arrive faster. Previously, a dealer in Odisha waiting on a Zelio shipment was looking at up to seven days from order to delivery. With the Cuttack plant operational, that timeline shortens dramatically - because the product is now being built a few kilometres away, not dispatched from the other end of the country. Beyond speed, the plant strengthens something that matters equally to serious dealers: inventory confidence. When stock is closer, dealers carry less risk. They can respond to a surge in demand without worrying about a week-long gap. That makes them serve to our riders demand better. The facility is also expected to generate employment for 60 to 100 individuals across production and operational functions in Odisha - a commitment to the region that goes beyond just using it as a market. A Word from Our MD "Eastern India has emerged as one of our strongest growth regions, with customers showing exceptional trust in our products. Setting up the Cuttack facility brings us closer to our riders and dealers, enabling faster deliveries, lower logistics costs and improved serviceability. Notably, this expansion marks an important step in strengthening India's EV ecosystem and creating long-term value for our customers and partners." - Kunal Arya, Managing Director, Zelio E-Mobility That last line - "creating long-term value for our customers and partners" - is the part we'd like to doubleclick. For Zelio, this expansion is one chapter in a longer story. The combination of a growing dealer network, two production facilities, a financially healthy balance sheet, and a product built specifically for how India actually rides - that's the foundation we're building on.

This is more than a transaction. It is a powerful statement of trust in where Zelio is headed - and in the future of electric mobility in India. The Deal at a Glance Motilal Oswal Financial Services acquired 3.5 lakh shares of Zelio E-Mobility at a price of Rs280 per share, as recorded in BSE exchange data.

The IPO was subscribed 1.5 times, drawing participation from both institutional and retail investors. Our shares debuted on October 8, 2025, at Rs 154.90 - a 13.9% premium over the issue price.

Why This Investment Matters Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Haryana, Zelio E-Mobility entered a crowded market with a clear focus: deliver reliable, affordable, and practical electric vehicles for everyday Indians. The Motilal Oswal stake acquisition is a validation of that focus. When one of India's most credible financial services firms chooses to invest in a company, it signals several things: Confidence in the business model - our revenue and profit trajectory is real and sustainable. Belief in the EV sector - India's electric vehicle revolution is no longer a future story; it is happening right now. Recognition of Zelio's positioning - as a Bharat's EV maker with consistent growth, a wide product range, and a pan-India dealer network, Zelio is well-placed to scale. India's electric two-wheeler and three-wheeler segment is among the fastest-growing in the world. Government policy, rising fuel costs, environmental awareness, and improving EV infrastructure are all converging to accelerate adoption. Zelio is riding this wave - not just as a participant, but as a manufacturer delivering vehicles that make EV ownership accessible to millions. This institutional confidence, reflected in Motilal Oswal's investment, is a reminder that the best chapters of India's EV story - and Zelio's story - are still ahead. Thank You - To Every Rider and Partner Every Zelio customer who has chosen an electric future, every dealer who has partnered with us, and every team member who has worked to build this company - this milestone belongs to you as much as it does to us. We remain committed to building world-class electric vehicles that India deserves, and to growing Zelio into a name that every Indian household trusts. And perhaps nothing captures our journey better than the words of our own customers - across villages, towns, and cities, people proudly call their Zelio their "battery scooty". That simple, affectionate name tells us we're not just selling vehicles; we're becoming a part of everyday Bharat's life. From the lanes of Haryana to the streets of small-town India, Zelio is quietly, steadily becoming Bharat's favorite battery scooty brand - and that is the milestone we are most proud of. The road ahead is electric. And we're just getting started.
