Earlier in 2026, Ultraviolette launched the Battery Flex program in partnership with Ecofy.

This initiative reduces the upfront purchase cost by nearly 40 percent. Battery ownership transfers to the customer after the subscription period ends.

Other manufacturers, including Ather Energy, Bajaj Auto, and TVS Motor Company, have also adopted battery subscription plans for select electric two-wheelers. Ultraviolette currently operates more than 40 experience centers across India. The company plans to expand its presence to 100 cities by the end of 2026.
