As it increases production and distribution of its robust, reasonably priced scooters made especially for Indian roads, E-WENT, the electric mobility division of Saraogi E-VENTURES and a top OEM of electric two-wheelers, has revealed ambitious expansion ambitions.
With more than 15,000 vehicles currently on the road and a network of 250 dealers expanding, E-WENT is aiming for a sizeable portion of the value-driven EV market in India.
In addition to $2 million from internal reserves, E-WENT recently raised $5 million in external capital, drawing on the 50-year history of the Saraogi Group in the energy, shipping, and banking industries. The money is intended for R&D, pan-India market penetration, and the increase of manufacturing capacity. The company currently has two assembly plants in Hyderabad and Kolkata, and by 2027, a third facility is expected to be built in western India.
With a 3.7 kW BLDC hub motor and a 3.4 kWh twin detachable/removable/portable lithium-ion battery pack, the company’s flagship model, Lightning, can reach a top speed of 70 km/h and go more than 150 km between charges. The dual batteries are convenient in places with limited public charging infrastructure because they can be charged anywhere—at home, at work, or at any of the company’s dealer network stations. Rather than having the charging station come to the battery or car, the battery can be brought to the charging station.
The Lightning, which combines functionality and high-end amenities, is certified for Indian roads and has telescopic suspension, twin 220 mm disc brakes, LED projector headlamps, reverse assist, and a sizable LED digital instrument cluster.
With a three-year warranty claim record of less than 1.5%, E-WENT places a strong emphasis on durability. Strong service infrastructure, supported by a 24-hour parts dispatch system and a 7-day helpline, is required under its dealer agreements. At E-WENT’s facilities, dealers receive technical training to guarantee reliable client service.
E-WENT is creating a Scooter-as-a-Service (SaaS) model for fleet operators to further improve accessibility by allowing them to pay per kilometre rather than having to pay large upfront fees. It is also extending financing agreements with several banks and NBFCs to offer low EMIs and lease options for retail purchasers.
E-WENT is currently operating in seven states: West Bengal, Odisha, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, and Assam. Within five years, the organisation hopes to have a nationwide presence. Flexible and scalable market access is guaranteed by its hybrid sales model, which consists of dealerships, company-owned showrooms, and corporate partnerships.
In accordance with environmental regulations, all E-WENT vehicles have a 5- to 6-year lifecycle design and warranty terms. Expired batteries are recycled by approved partners.
“Our focus is on building EVs that are accessible, dependable, and tailored to the Indian consumer,” stated Umang Saraogi, Director of E-WENT.
“We’re providing long-term value through robust products, astute design, and robust after-sales support—not by chasing subsidies or hype.” “We see a huge chance to create a reliable, scalable brand that puts the requirements of its customers, smart technology, and affordability first, especially because the percentage of EVs in two-wheelers is still in the single digits.”
