Jindal Mobilitric R.20 and R.40 Electric Scooters Start Production in Ahmedabad

Jindal Mobilitric has begun vehicle production at its manufacturing facility in Ahmedabad, Gujarat (India), with the R.20 and R.40 becoming the first electric scooters to roll off the company’s production line. The company confirmed the milestone through an official announcement on its social media platforms, describing it as the point where the R-Series moved “from blueprint to the production line.“

The R.20 and R.40 form Jindal Mobilitric’s current electric scooter line-up within its SX Series. Both were unveiled at a launch event in Ahmedabad in May 2026, attended by channel partners, dealers, distributors and investors. Jindal Mobilitric has now moved from that product launch to vehicle production at the same facility, with the R.20 and R.40 becoming the first R-Series electric scooters to roll off the line.

For a new electric two-wheeler manufacturer entering an increasingly competitive market, moving from a launch event to a working assembly line is the more consequential milestone: brochure specifications now have to be translated into consistent manufacturing processes, with the ability to scale output over time.

Jindal Mobilitric Begins Production in Ahmedabad

Jindal Mobilitric’s manufacturing base is located in Ahmedabad, the same city where its parent group is headquartered. According to the company’s official announcement, the R.20 and R.40 are the first R-Series electric scooters built there, with the event framed as the start of vehicle production rather than a one-off pilot build. Images accompanying the LinkedIn post, captioned “The 1st Vehicle Rollout,” show a scooter being wheeled off the assembly line at the Ahmedabad plant in a ribbon-marked ceremony, alongside close-up shots of the vehicle on the factory floor.

The facility itself was set up with an installed annual production capacity of 2.5 lakh (250,000) vehicles, while Jindal Worldwide has also disclosed plans for a fully automated, in-house battery manufacturing facility in Ahmedabad. That figure describes the scale the plant was built for, not the number of scooters currently being produced; actual output will depend on how quickly Jindal Mobilitric ramps up. The company positions the R-Series around a “Made in India” identity, engineered for Indian mobility needs and everyday journeys.

The Jindal Mobilitric Story in Brief

Jindal Mobilitric is the electric mobility venture of Jindal Worldwide Limited (JWL), a vertically integrated textile company incorporated in Ahmedabad in 1986. Its EV push began with the 2022 acquisition of Earth Energy EV, a Mumbai-based electric vehicle startup, followed by homologation approval for its first electric scooter in 2025 and the May 2026 unveiling of the R.20 and R.40 in Ahmedabad.

Jindal Mobilitric describes its positioning around three words: Safe, Simple and Stylish, pitching its scooters as designed, developed and manufactured for the “modern Indian rider.”

Jindal Mobilitric’s current product webpage lists slightly different top-speed figures of 66 kmph for the R.20 and 76 kmph for the R.40; the table above retains the May 2026 launch-brochure specifications for consistency.

Both scooters share the same battery chemistry, brakes, tyres, suspension architecture, boot space and display, but the R.40 is the more powerful of the two. The R.20 occupies the lower-performance position in the line-up, while the R.40 adds higher peak power, torque, top speed and battery capacity, giving it the stronger performance and range specification of the two.

What the R.20 and R.40 Are Designed For

Jindal Mobilitric positions the R-Series around everyday, practical urban use rather than performance riding. The company’s marketing material describes the scooters as “designed for everyday life,” built to handle daily commuting, errands and routine city journeys.

Both models get a high-torque hub motor, a 24-litre dual-compartment seat boot, a smart charging pocket for on-the-go device charging, LED lighting, a side-stand safety sensor, and a connected mobile app that provides live ride statistics, battery insights, vehicle tracking, maintenance alerts and performance analytics. Jindal Mobilitric’s current website lists starting prices of ₹89,999 for the R.20 and ₹1,04,999 for the R.40.

Jindal Mobilitric’s Market Coverage Target

Jindal Mobilitric’s retail footprint has been built up in stages. The past disclosure outlined plans for a dealership network spanning 40 cities across 10 states, plus an overseas experience centre in Kathmandu, Nepal — an early plan, not the network’s size today. A later annual report placed the network at 12 states, with Nepal as the first overseas market. Most recently, the company has said it has appointed 52 dealers nationwide and opened its first two retail showrooms, in Srinagar and Jaipur, targeting around 100 showrooms by FY28. Together, these disclosures point to a distribution network still being built out in phases.

India’s Electric Two-Wheeler Market Is Getting More Competitive

Jindal Mobilitric’s production start lands in a market that is growing quickly but is also increasingly contested. India’s electric two-wheeler retail sales rose 67.05% year-on-year to 1,83,204 units in August 2026, according to FADA data, with penetration reaching 10.68% of the overall two-wheeler market. TVS Motor, Bajaj Auto and Hero MotoCorp together accounted for approximately 59.5% of August’s reported electric two-wheeler retail volume, a figure calculated from FADA’s OEM table rather than one FADA states directly, alongside dedicated EV players such as Ather Energy.

That shift toward established, high-volume manufacturers is the backdrop against which a new entrant like Jindal Mobilitric is starting production: the electric two-wheeler segment is no longer dominated primarily by startups, and scale, consistency and dealer reach have become as important as product specifications.

What Jindal Mobilitric’s Production Start Means

Moving from a launch event to an operating production line is meaningful for any new manufacturer, because it is where design intent meets manufacturing reality. An installed capacity of 2.5 lakh vehicles a year signals that the Ahmedabad facility was built for meaningful scale, but it does not prove Jindal Mobilitric is producing anywhere near that volume; actual output will only be established through future production and sales data.

Beyond the factory floor, competing will depend on production ramp-up, dealer and service footprint, spare-parts availability, battery reliability, after-sales experience and, ultimately, retail availability and customer confidence — areas where established players already have a multi-year head start. Whether the R-Series can build a comparable footprint depends on execution over the coming months, not on the production-start announcement alone.

Conclusion

Jindal Mobilitric has moved from product launch into vehicle production, with the R.20 and R.40 becoming the first R-Series scooters to roll off its Ahmedabad facility — a plant built with a stated annual capacity of 2.5 lakh vehicles. The specifications, battery technology and connected features are now confirmed; what remains to be established is how quickly the company can ramp up actual output, expand its dealer and showroom network beyond its current early-stage footprint, and convert this production milestone into wider retail availability.
