Revolt Motors is preparing to launch its electric motorcycle exports, starting with Sri Lanka, according to Anjali Rattan, chairperson of RattanIndia Enterprises. The company has received interest for its electric two-wheelers from Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Brazil, and Africa. “We are beginning with Sri Lanka and will expand to other markets as we tailor our products to meet the needs of customers in these regions,” Rattan told a newspaper.

Revolt currently offers electric motorcycle models RV400 and RV400 BRZ and is set to unveil a new model on Tuesday. Founded by Micromax’s Rahul Sharma, Revolt is a wholly owned subsidiary of RattanIndia, which is also involved in e-commerce, fintech, and drone technologies. The company has the capacity to produce up to 162,000 electric motorcycles annually and plans to invest in new product development and advanced technologies.

Since taking over in January last year, Revolt has strengthened its supply chain and increased production. Sales are improving, and with the government’s recent announcement of a ₹10,000 subsidy per electric two-wheeler under the PM E-DRIVE scheme, market traction is expected to grow.

The scheme aims to increase electric vehicle penetration in the two-wheeler market to 10% and support the sale of 2.479 million electric two-wheelers by March 2026. Sales of electric two-wheelers in India rose by 30% to 947,087 units in FY24, with electric vehicles comprising 5.4% of total two-wheeler sales.

Revolt Motors, founded by Micromax co-founder Rahul Sharma and now a wholly owned subsidiary of RattanIndia, is a leading innovator in the electric motorcycle market. The company has made significant strides with its models, such as the RV400 and RV400 BRZ, and is set to expand its global footprint by starting exports to Sri Lanka, with future plans for other markets including Nepal, Bangladesh, Brazil, and Africa.

Revolt is at the forefront of integrating advanced technologies like AI and automation into its operations, aiming to reduce manual labor and enhance efficiency. With a focus on sustainable growth, the company is leveraging government incentives and technological advancements to drive the adoption of electric vehicles and contribute to a greener future.
