Excitement is buzzing in the electric vehicle world as River EV opens its First North India Store in Delhi, marking a bold step in the brand’s rapid expansion. Bengaluru-based River EV has chosen Rajouri Garden as the launchpad for its 6,300 sq. ft. flagship, not just as a showroom, but as a complete hub for sales, service, and rider training. Alongside the grand opening, the company has unveiled the Indie Gen 3 electric scooter, packed with smarter features and enhanced performance. Could this be the game-changer for North India’s EV enthusiasts? Read on to explore what makes this launch so electrifying.
Expanding Footprint Across India
River EV, known for its innovative approach to urban mobility, has steadily expanded its presence across India. With the Delhi launch, the company now operates 34 stores across key cities, including Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, Kochi, Coimbatore, Patna, and Hubli. Looking ahead, River plans to scale up to 80 stores by March 2026, targeting high-potential markets such as Punjab, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and Gujarat.
The move comes at a time of positive growth for the brand. Earlier in 2025, River recorded its best-ever sales performance, crossing 1,800 units in a single month, cementing its place among fast-growing EV makers in the country.
Indie Gen 3: The “SUV of Scooters” Gets Smarter
The highlight of the Delhi launch was the unveiling of the Indie Gen 3, an upgraded version of River’s flagship scooter, often dubbed the “SUV of scooters.” Priced at ₹1.44 lakh (ex-showroom, Bengaluru), the new model retains its core strengths while introducing performance and tech upgrades:
- Improved Handling: Enhanced tyres provide better grip and stability for city rides.
- Redesigned Display: A clearer, less cluttered dashboard now integrates range, charging, and ride data more effectively.
- Smart Features: Additions like hill-hold assist, customizable data points, and real-time charging status enhance usability.
- Deeper App Integration: The River mobile app now supports ride statistics and advanced data syncing for an improved rider experience.
Despite these upgrades, the Indie Gen 3 continues to deliver its solid specifications — a 4 kWh battery pack, 161 km IDC range, 6.7 kW motor, and a top speed of 90 km/h, making it a reliable and versatile option for daily commuters.
More Than Just a Scooter Brand
Alongside the scooter, the Delhi outlet also features a curated selection of accessories and lifestyle merchandise, highlighting River’s aim to create a community-driven brand that goes beyond just vehicle sales. The company positions itself as a lifestyle-oriented mobility player, offering customers not only a product but also a complete ownership experience.
Voices from River’s Leadership
Speaking at the launch, Aravind Mani, Co-founder and CEO of River EV, emphasized the significance of the Delhi debut:
“Delhi marks an important milestone in River’s journey as we expand beyond the South. The company-owned store will serve as a hub for service and training, reinforcing our commitment to customers in North India.”
Adding to this, Vipin George, Co-founder and CPO, highlighted the design philosophy:
“The Indie Gen 3 reflects our focus on thoughtful design and rider experience. Our Rajouri Garden store is not just a retail space but an immersive hub where riders can engage with the brand community.”
Conclusion
With the launch of its Delhi store and the new Indie Gen 3, River EV has reinforced its position as a fast-growing player in India’s electric mobility space. By combining durability, versatility, and smart technology, the brand is set to make a strong impact in North India and beyond, as it marches toward its ambitious goal of 80 stores by 2026.
