New Delhi, (17/07/2025): In a bold stride toward redefining India’s electric mobility landscape, Youdha has launched its latest offering—the Youdha epod, a next-generation L5 category electric passenger three-wheeler. With this launch, Youdha joins the ranks of leading EV makers such as Mahindra, Bajaj, and TVS, firmly positioning itself as a future-ready player in the EV market.

Entering the L5 EV Segment: A Strategic Leap

India’s L5 segment, which consists of powerful and road-compliant electric three-wheelers, has emerged as a fast-growing category within the commercial EV space. Rising fuel prices, last-mile delivery demands, and supportive EV policies are pushing this transformation—and Youdha is stepping in with a solution designed for the new Bharat.

The Youdha Epod delivers on every critical front:

* Range: 227 km** on a single charge
* Battery: 11.8 kwh lithium-ion LFP
* Drive modes: City/ Boost modes
* Water-wading capacity: 300 mm
* Motor: 6 kW
* Torque: 55 Nm

Built for everyday Indian road conditions, the ABC is engineered to meet the needs of drivers looking for performance, durability, and low running costs—without compromising on comfort or style.

Made in India, Made for Bharat

The Youdha epod is manufactured at the brand’s state-of-the-art facility in Kashipur, Uttarakhand, which has an installed capacity of 1,00,000 vehicles annually. The facility is built to scale and equipped with Patented Autophoretic Dip coating, modern assembly lines, end-of-line vehicle testing stations, and stringent quality protocols to ensure each unit that rolls out meets global benchmarks.

As per Homologation Certificate

The product is currently being rolled out in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Assam, with a phased national expansion planned over the coming quarters. These initial markets were chosen strategically based on EV adoption potential, high three-wheeler usage density, and a rapidly growing base of self-employed drivers seeking efficient mobility solutions.

“We’re not just offering a vehicle—we’re offering economic empowerment,” said Ayush Lohia, CEO, Youdha. “With Youdha Epod, we’ve blended robust performance with aspirational identity, keeping the Indian driver’s needs at the center.”
Brand Genesis: The Warrior Rises

Though Youdha as a brand name is new, its foundation is built on deep industry roots. It carries forward the legacy of brand Lohia, one of India’s earliest and most respected electric vehicle manufacturers, active in the space for nearly more than a decades. The transition to Youdha reflects a deliberate repositioning—from a legacy player in affordable e-rickshaws to a modern, mass-market EV brand with ambition, scale, and identity.

The name “Youdha”, derived from the Sanskrit word Yodha (warrior), reflects the strength, resilience, and determination of India’s working class—especially the countless drivers and mobility entrepreneurs who form the backbone of the country’s transport ecosystem.
The brand’s tagline, “Chalao Aan Se, Kamao Shaan Se”, drives home the message: this is not just a means of transport, it is a means to rise with pride and purpose.

Design Philosophy and Visual Identity

The Youdha logo is a statement in itself. Shaped like a warrior’s shield, the emblem features a bold ‘Y’ at the center—representing both the brand name and the individual at the heart of its story. The brand’s communication focuses on aspiration over necessity—positioning electric three-wheelers not as fallback options, but as smart choices for individuals who want to earn with dignity and drive with confidence.

Vision Ahead: A Brand with Depth and Direction

Youdha is not a one-product brand—it’s a long-term mobility platform with a robust rollout pipeline. The company is planning to expand its product range, enhance its manufacturing capabilities, and strengthen retail and service infrastructure across India. By 2030, Youdha is targeting a revenue milestone of ₹1000 crore, driven by both passenger and cargo EVs.

What sets Youdha apart is its commitment to building a brand with emotional and economic relevance. With deep industry experience, a solid operational backbone, and a clear consumer-first ethos, Youdha is poised to be the EV brand of choice for Bharat’s next-generation drivers.
