Indofast Energy, one of India’s leading battery-swapping networks, has teamed up with Green Tiger Mobility, a player in retrofitting two-wheelers, to speed up the country’s shift to electric mobility. This groundbreaking collaboration addresses the over 300 million petrol two-wheelers in India, offering a cost-effective, eco-friendly, and smooth retrofit solution. The initiative makes it easier and more affordable for millions of riders to adopt electric vehicles (EVs).
This innovative approach enables riders to convert their petrol two-wheelers to electric vehicles with Green Tiger Mobility’s ARAI-approved conversion kits. Once converted, riders can take advantage of Indofast Energy’s expansive battery-swapping network, removing worries about range anxiety and lengthy charging times.
The process is hassle-free, including RTO approvals, insurance, and other regulatory aspects at a fixed cost. The conversion is financially accessible, with an affordable down payment and easy EMIs that savings can cover from switching to electric. This makes EV adoption more economical than ever. The solution currently supports the top 11 best-selling scooter models, including Hero (Maestro & Pleasure), Honda (Activa, Aviator, Dio, and Cliq), Suzuki (Access & Swish), TVS (Jupiter & Wego), and Yamaha (Fascino).
Currently available in Bangalore, the service will be rolled out in Delhi NCR by May, with plans to expand nationwide within 12 to 15 months. The initial focus will be on delivery executives in quick commerce, providing them with an affordable, sustainable alternative to petrol-powered vehicles, followed by a broader market offering.
Rajat Malhan, Senior Vice President of Indofast Energy, said, “Imagine your trusty petrol scooter transformed into a sleek, battery-swappable EV. No need to buy a new vehicle—just an easy, sustainable upgrade! This partnership marks a major step toward cleaner, greener mobility, helping reduce fuel costs, cut emissions, and contribute to India’s EV adoption goals.”
With over 500 customers in Bangalore, Green Tiger Mobility has all its products approved by ARAI and registered with major RTOS. The company is supported by six patents and prestigious institutions like ARAI, the Ministry of Heavy Industries (MHI), the Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY), IIM Bangalore, BITS Pilani, and Bajaj Motors.
Indofast Energy, a 50-50 joint venture between IndianOil and SUN Mobility, operates over 900 battery swap stations across India. The company’s infrastructure caters to e-autos, e-bikes, and e-scooters, ensuring seamless mobility for both personal and commercial users. By integrating Green Tiger’s retrofit technology with Indofast Energy’s network, this partnership aims to simplify and expand the adoption of electric vehicles.
Ashish Dokania, Founder of Green Tiger Mobility, added, “At Green Tiger, we see the future of mobility as not just new electric vehicles, but converting millions of petrol two-wheelers already on the road. Our retrofit solution, combined with Indofast’s battery-swapping network, bridges sustainability and practicality, allowing people to embrace electric without giving up their trusted rides.”
Indofast Energy is at the forefront of India’s electric mobility revolution, pioneering the Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model. A joint venture between Indian Oil Corporation and SUN Mobility, the company is committed to building one of the world’s largest battery-swapping networks, ensuring fast, cost-effective, and seamless EV adoption. With over 900 swap stations in 22+ cities, handling more than a million swaps each month, Indofast Energy is rapidly expanding to make electric mobility more accessible and convenient.
Green Tiger Mobility, one of India’s largest retrofit company, is dedicated to offering innovative, sustainable solutions for two-wheelers. Green Tiger is the world’s first company to offer an approved dual powertrain or bi-mode hybrid solution for two-wheelers, allowing riders to switch between petrol and electric modes independently. With 11 approved scooter models for electric conversion using fixed or swappable batteries, Green Tiger is set to launch its electric conversion solutions for motorcycles later this year, further advancing its vision of providing green, affordable mobility for everyone.
