Ultraviolette Automotive announces a major new facility in Hosur, Tamil Nadu, aiming to ramp up electric two-wheeler production to meet surging demand, particularly in the scooter segment dominating India’s market.
Ultraviolette Automotive plans to open a new electric two-wheeler factory in Hosur, Tamil Nadu, as it prepares to widen production for its next generation of vehicles. The company’s new site, branded BIGGA for “Big Global Ambition”, is being positioned as a major step-up in scale, with an initial annual output of 250,000 units and infrastructure designed to allow capacity to double later if demand warrants it.
According to the Tamil Nadu government, the project will involve investment of 7.79 billion rupees, or about €70 million. The site is expected to benefit from its location in the SIPCOT industrial area near established electric two-wheeler manufacturers such as TVS Motor Company and Ather Energy, which should give Ultraviolette access to an existing supplier base and a more mature industrial ecosystem.
The Tesseract, Ultraviolette’s first scooter, is set to be among the first models built at the new plant. That matters because scooters dominate India’s electric two-wheeler market. IMARC Group reported that scooters accounted for 88.6% of the country’s 1.2 million electric two-wheeler sales in 2025, underscoring why the company is moving into a segment with far greater volume potential than its current motorcycle line-up.
The Hosur expansion will run alongside investment at Ultraviolette’s existing facility in Bengaluru, where the company says it plans to spend 2 billion rupees to lift annual output from 30,000 vehicles to 50,000. Backed by investors including TVS Motor Company, Qualcomm Ventures and TDK Ventures, Ultraviolette currently sells the X-47 and F77 motorcycles in India, and the F77 is also available in 19 European markets. The company is also preparing the X-47, the Tesseract and the Shockwave enduro model for overseas launch.
