Indofast Energy and Green Tiger Mobility have announced a partnership to retrofit petrol two-wheelers to electric vehicles with battery-swapping capabilities in Bangalore and Delhi NCR.
The program allows owners to convert their existing petrol scooters to electric starting at Rs 10,000. The conversion includes RTO approvals, insurance, and regulatory compliance at a fixed cost. Customers can pay through EMIs, which can be offset by fuel savings.
Currently, the retrofit solution is available for 11 popular scooter models from Hero, Honda, Suzuki, TVS, and Yamaha. The service is operational in Bangalore and will launch in Delhi NCR by May, with plans to expand nationwide within 15 months.
The program initially targets quick commerce delivery executives before expanding to the general market. Green Tiger Mobility has ARAI approval for its product line and support from government ministries and educational institutions.
Indofast Energy, a joint venture between IndianOil and SUN Mobility, operates more than 900 battery swap stations across India, handling over one million swaps monthly. The network serves e-autos, e-bikes, and e-scooters for both commercial and personal use.
"This partnership is a significant step toward green mobility for a cleaner India, while reducing fuel costs, cutting emissions, and supporting India's EV adoption goals," said Rajat Malhan, Senior Vice President at Indofast Energy.
Ashish Dokania, Founder of Green Tiger Mobility, emphasized that their retrofit solution "bridges the gap between sustainability and practicality" by allowing people to convert their existing vehicles rather than purchasing new ones.
