Greaves Electric Mobility Launches Ampere Nexus Electric Scooter in Nepal
The Indian EV maker is entering the Nepali market through a partnership with STC Auto Solution, targeting riders who navigate the country's varied terrain and altitudes.
Greaves Electric Mobility Limited (GEML), a subsidiary of Greaves Cotton Limited, announced on February 26, 2026 the launch of its Ampere Nexus electric scooter in Nepal, marking the company's entry into the country in partnership with local distributor STC Auto Solution Private Limited.
The Ampere Nexus is GEML's flagship two-wheeler product in India, where it holds a record from the Asia Book of Records for navigating the 70 hairpin bends of Kolli Hills in Tamil Nadu. The company cited the scooter's performance at Shipki La Pass — at 13,200 feet above sea level — as evidence of its suitability for Nepal's road conditions.
Vikas Singh, MD and Chief Financial Officer of Greaves Electric Mobility, said Nepal's terrain and growing EV infrastructure created demand for scooters built around durability and range reliability rather than features alone. He added that the launch aligned with Nepal's broader shift toward cleaner transportation.
The scooter comes with a 7-inch TFT touchscreen, turn-by-turn navigation through the Nex.io platform, call connectivity, real-time vehicle monitoring, and the Ampere Connect Companion app for battery health tracking. It uses an LFP battery and is designed to handle stop-start urban traffic as well as inclines.
GEML said it plans to expand into additional markets within Nepal over time, though no specific timeline was provided.
Greaves Cotton Limited, the parent company, was founded over 165 years ago and has five business units spanning engineering, retail, finance, and technology. GEML itself has over 17 years of experience in electric vehicle manufacturing and operates plants in Hyderabad, Noida, and Ranipet, supported by around 400 dealer touchpoints across India.
GEML has also filed a draft red herring prospectus with SEBI for an initial public offering of its equity shares, though the offering remains subject to regulatory approvals and market conditions.
