India’s electric two-wheeler market is preparing for another major shake-up as Bengaluru-based Ultraviolette Automotive unveils its next-generation 100V technology. Following the launch of its powerful X-47 Venom electric motorcycle, the company is accelerating its expansion into electric scooters, affordable motorcycles, and advanced mobility solutions. With longer battery range, faster charging, and improved efficiency, its new architecture could significantly strengthen its competitive position. Ultraviolette Plans Four VX100-Based EVs over the next 12 months, marking an ambitious growth strategy supported by substantial manufacturing investments, international expansion, and a wider retail network targeting India’s rapidly evolving electric vehicle market.
What Is Ultraviolette Planning?
Ultraviolette intends to introduce four products using its new VX100 100V architecture within 12 months. The X-47 Venom is the first vehicle on the platform, while the Shockwave motorcycle and Tesseract scooter are expected in early 2027. The company has not confirmed the complete four-product lineup or whether the Venom counts toward it.

₹1,000 Crore Investment Fuels Expansion
Ultraviolette Plans Four VX100-Based EVs alongside significant manufacturing expansion.
The company proposes investing ₹1,000 crore over five years, allocating ₹800 crore toward a Hosur factory and ₹200 crore toward existing operations.
Key expansion targets include:
- Manufacturing capacity approaching 300,000 units annually by mid-2027, with longer-term potential reaching 500,000.
- Approximately 100 Indian showrooms by early 2027.
- Monthly sales approaching 10,000 vehicles by October 2027.
- Exports contributing 20–25% of sales within three years.
The expansion follows an $85 million funding round led by Yali Capital and TDK Ventures.
Why This Matters for India’s EV Market
Ultraviolette registered 3,200 motorcycles through August 12, 2026, exceeding its entire 2025 sales.
Ultraviolette plans to have Four VX100-Based EVs reach more customer segments while spreading development costs across a shared architecture.
If successfully executed, this strategy could strengthen India’s premium electric two-wheeler industry and accelerate international growth.
