Indian electric two-wheeler maker Ultraviolette Automotive plans to invest about Rs 1,000 crore over the next five years as it expands manufacturing, supply operations and its product range. The plan was reported on September 10 after comments from co-founder and chief technology officer Niraj Rajmohan.
Autocar Professional reported that about Rs 200 crore of the planned spending will go to the company’s existing facility in Jigani, Karnataka. Approximately Rs 800 crore is earmarked for a new manufacturing facility in Tamil Nadu, placing the main capacity expansion in the Hosur-Krishnagiri industrial belt.
Moneycontrol reported the same investment plan and said the new Hosur facility is intended to produce up to five lakh electric vehicles a year at scale. It also reported that the plant could create as many as 3,000 direct jobs, although the exact timing for that employment target was not specified in the coverage.
Rajmohan told Autocar Professional that the investment is tied to higher production, supply-chain development and product launches. The company expects the expanded network to support six electric two-wheelers, including motorcycles and scooters, rather than relying on a single product line.
The planned spending also covers localisation. Autocar Professional reported that Ultraviolette wants to increase local sourcing while developing its manufacturing and supply capabilities. The company has also identified exports as part of the next phase of its business, though the reports did not provide a country-by-country export schedule.
Ultraviolette’s current products include the F77 electric motorcycle and the Tesseract scooter. The reported capacity goal is therefore a manufacturing plan, not a claim that five lakh vehicles have already been produced or sold. Neither report gave a final commissioning date for the new Tamil Nadu plant.
The expansion comes as Indian electric two-wheeler makers add capacity and broaden their lineups. For buyers, the practical question will be when new models reach showrooms and whether production growth is matched by service and charging support. Those details were not included in the current announcements, so they remain open rather than confirmed.
