Ultraviolette Automotive has announced a proposed five-year investment plan to significantly expand its manufacturing footprint in Karnataka. The phased expansion will include capacity enhancement at the company’s existing facility as well as the establishment of a new production plant in the state.
The strategic move highlights Ultraviolette’s long-term commitment to Karnataka and aligns with its broader vision of accelerating India’s rapidly evolving electric mobility ecosystem.
As part of this initiative, Ultraviolette signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Karnataka on the sidelines of the Invest Karnataka Conclave held in Bengaluru.
The MoU was formalised in the presence of M. B. Patil, Honourable Minister for Large and Medium Industries, Karnataka.
The planned expansion, supported by Production Linked Incentive (PLI) benefits, is expected to boost production capacity, strengthen local manufacturing capabilities, and support the growth of India’s electric vehicle ecosystem.
Speaking on the announcement, Narayan Subramaniam, CEO & Co-founder of Ultraviolette said, “Karnataka has been central to Ultraviolette’s vision of Making in India for the World. This proposed manufacturing expansion reflects our confidence in the state’s forward-looking EV ecosystem, talent, and policy support. The combination of infrastructure readiness, proactive governance, and long-term incentive visibility creates a strong foundation for Ultraviolette’s next phase of growth.”
Niraj Rajmohan, CTO & Co-founder of Ultraviolette said, “Karnataka has been home to Ultraviolette’s R&D journey from the very beginning. The state offers a unique combination of deep engineering talent, strong supplier networks, and close proximity to key industrial and manufacturing hubs. What makes this especially meaningful for us is that we have built world-class products here proving that with the right talent, ambition, and ecosystem, innovation can be created right here in Karnataka.”
Headquartered in Bengaluru, Ultraviolette’s proprietary battery technology combined with futuristic design and performance engineering is reflected strongly across its product portfolio that consist of performance motorcycles – F77 and X-47 Crossover. Ultraviolette has established a strong national presence with over 40 experience centres across major Indian cities and will be present across 100 cities by end of 2026.
Beyond India, Ultraviolette is gaining momentum in its global expansion, with presence in 12 European countries, making it India’s first electric two-wheeler manufacturer to enter Europe, with plans to further scale across Asia and Latin America.
