Ultraviolette Automotive has unveiled an ambitious five-year investment plan to expand its manufacturing footprint in Karnataka, signaling a strong push to scale production and strengthen its position in India’s fast-growing electric mobility sector.
The proposed expansion includes capacity enhancement at the company’s existing facility and the establishment of a new production plant in the state. The move is aimed at supporting rising demand for high-performance electric two-wheelers and accelerating Ultraviolette’s long-term growth strategy.
As part of the initiative, Ultraviolette signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Karnataka during the ‘Invest Karnataka’ Conclave held in Bengaluru. The agreement was formalized in the presence of M. B. Patil, Minister for Large and Medium Industries, highlighting the state’s commitment to fostering electric vehicle manufacturing.
Speaking on the development, Narayan Subramaniam, CEO and Co-founder of Ultraviolette, emphasized that Karnataka has played a central role in the company’s journey. He noted that the state’s strong EV ecosystem, skilled talent pool and supportive policies provide a solid foundation for the company’s next phase of growth.
Niraj Rajmohan, CTO and Co-founder, added that Karnataka has been instrumental in the company’s research and development efforts. He highlighted the availability of engineering talent, supplier networks and proximity to industrial hubs as key advantages that have enabled Ultraviolette to build globally competitive products.
Headquartered in Bengaluru, Ultraviolette is known for its performance-focused electric motorcycles, including the F77 and X-47 Crossover. The company currently operates over 40 experience centres across India and aims to expand its presence to 100 cities by the end of 2026.
On the global front, Ultraviolette has already entered 12 European countries, becoming one of the first Indian electric two-wheeler manufacturers to establish a presence in Europe. The company is also planning further expansion into markets across Asia and Latin America.
The planned manufacturing expansion underscores Ultraviolette’s commitment to the “Make in India for the World” vision, while strengthening Karnataka’s position as a key hub for electric vehicle innovation and production.
