Ultraviolette Automotive has announced a proposed five-year investment plan to expand its manufacturing footprint in Karnataka, signalling a major push to scale its production capabilities in India’s rapidly growing electric mobility sector.
The phased expansion programme will include capacity enhancement at the company’s existing facility along with the establishment of a new production plant within the state. The move reinforces the company’s long-term commitment to Karnataka and aligns with its broader strategy to accelerate electric vehicle adoption in India.
To formalize this initiative, Ultraviolette signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Karnataka during the Invest Karnataka Conclave held in Bengaluru. The agreement was signed in the presence of M. B. Patil, Minister for Large and Medium Industries.
Commenting on the development, CEO and Co-founder Narayan Subramaniam stated that Karnataka continues to play a pivotal role in the company’s “Make in India for the World” vision. He highlighted the state’s robust EV ecosystem, infrastructure readiness, and policy support as key enablers for the company’s next phase of growth.
CTO and Co-founder Niraj Rajmohan emphasized Karnataka’s contribution to Ultraviolette’s research and development journey, citing access to engineering talent, strong supplier networks, and proximity to major industrial hubs as critical advantages.
Headquartered in Bengaluru, Ultraviolette is known for its proprietary battery technology and performance-focused electric two-wheelers, including models such as the F77 and X-47 Crossover.
The company currently operates over 40 experience centres across major Indian cities and aims to expand its presence to 100 cities by the end of 2026.
On the global front, Ultraviolette has entered 12 European countries, becoming one of India’s first electric two-wheeler manufacturers to establish a presence in Europe. The company is also planning further expansion across Asia and Latin America as part of its international growth strategy.
