Ultraviolette to Invest ₹779 Crore in New Hosur Factory, Targets 3 Lakh Annual Capacity
With the Hosur plant planned to reach 250,000 units annually and designed for eventual expansion to 500,000 units.
Electric two-wheeler maker Ultraviolette Automotive will invest ₹779 crore over the next five years to establish its new BIGGA (Big Global Ambition) Factory in Hosur, Tamil Nadu, as it prepares to scale production and expand into higher-volume electric two-wheelers.
The facility, coming up at SIPCOT Industrial Park in Shoolagiri, will be developed in phases with an initial annual capacity of 250,000 vehicles. Its infrastructure will allow production to eventually scale to 500,000 units annually.
The Hosur investment is part of a broader ₹1,000 crore manufacturing expansion. Around ₹200 crore will be spent upgrading Ultraviolette’s existing Bengaluru facility, which currently has capacity for about 50,000 vehicles annually. The company is targeting combined annual production capacity of around 300,000 vehicles across the two plants by mid-2027.
The BIGGA Factory will manufacture the upcoming Tesseract electric scooter and support future models across motorcycle and scooter segments. The Tesseract is expected to launch in early 2027, while the company is also preparing the Shockwave motorcycle. Ultraviolette says it has already secured more than 70,000 paid bookings for the Tesseract.
The expansion marks a shift for Ultraviolette from its premium electric motorcycle-focused business toward higher-volume products. Co-founder and CEO Narayan Subramaniam expects scooter demand in India to reach at least 10,000 units a month, with scooters eventually accounting for around half of the company’s volumes.
Ultraviolette is also looking to expand its international business. The company currently sells its motorcycles in European markets and expects exports, including to Europe and Latin America, to increase from around 15% of sales to approximately 25% over the next five years.
Ultraviolette sold more than 3,000 electric motorcycles globally in the first half of 2026, according to company figures cited by Reuters. The company says demand for its upcoming products, including the Tesseract and Shockwave, is already higher than what its existing manufacturing facility can support.
The company expects the Hosur facility to create around 2,000 jobs initially, with employment increasing as production scales. The plant will use automated manufacturing, digital production tracking and quality-control systems.
Ultraviolette, which is backed by TVS Motor, Qualcomm Ventures, TDK Ventures, Zoho Corporation and Lingotto, said it is currently adequately capitalised to fund the planned expansion.
The new facility is expected to strengthen Ultraviolette’s manufacturing capacity as it moves beyond premium electric motorcycles and builds a broader electric two-wheeler portfolio for the Indian and international markets.
