Ultraviolette Automotive on Wednesday expanded its retail footprint in eastern India with the launch of its first UV Space Station in Bhubaneswar, making its performance electric motorcycles, including the X-47 Crossover and F77s, available for sale in Odisha.

The new experience centre, established in partnership with Jyote Motors (Energy) Private Limited, marks Ultraviolette's entry into Odisha and is part of the company's strategy to strengthen customer access to its performance-focused electric mobility portfolio across emerging markets in the country.

Located at Plot No. 2865, Gautam Nagar, Lewis Road, Bhubaneswar-751002, the UV Space Station has been designed as an immersive brand destination where customers can undertake personalised test rides, receive sales consultations and product demonstrations, and access genuine spares and accessories under one roof.

The centre will showcase the X-47 Crossover and F77s, which feature a performance-oriented electric powertrain delivering 40.2 hp and 100 Nm of torque. The motorcycles can accelerate from 0-60 kmph in 2.8 seconds and are powered by a 10.3 kWh battery pack, offering an IDC-certified range of up to 323 km on a single charge.

Commenting on the launch, Ultraviolette CEO and Co-founder Narayan Subramaniam said Bhubaneswar enthusiasts had followed the company's journey for years and had been waiting to experience its products.

"Opening the UV Space Station in Bhubaneswar is another step in bringing that technology closer to the people who believed in us. We're here to build, to push boundaries, and to redefine what electric mobility can be -- not just for Odisha, but for India and the world," he said.

For Jyote Motors, the partnership marks an opportunity to associate with a technology-led electric motorcycle brand. Devjyoti Patnaik, Managing Director, Jyote Motors Pvt Ltd, said the company, which has completed 30 years in the market, has consistently focused on bringing leading automobile brands to Odisha and providing customers with strong sales and service experiences.

"One of the largest automobile dealers in India, it is difficult to choose the right partners with the evolution of technology with whom you would like to grow. We take pride in whatever we bring to Odisha and always try to bring the best of the brands to Odisha and give the best possible experience to our customers in sales and service," Patnaik said.

"Getting associated with Ultraviolette is something I personally feel is the future of motorcycles. We would like to expand our association and business with Ultraviolette as we feel they are the right partners as far as EV motorcycles are concerned. The kind of products they are launching in India and abroad gives us confidence in this association," he added.

Briefing the media, Gajanan Umarekar, Senior Vice President-Business and Sales at Ultraviolette, said the Bhubaneswar facility was the company's 47th UV Space Station nationally and seventh in the eastern zone.

"It is Ultraviolette's first UV Space Station in Bhubaneswar and the seventh in the east zone and 47th one in the country. We are looking at taking this number to 100 by the end of the current financial year, FY27," Umarekar said.

He also highlighted the availability of the X-47 Crossover and F77s for customers in Bhubaneswar, describing the products as part of Ultraviolette's technology-led approach to electric mobility.

The X-47 Crossover is positioned as a technology-intensive electric motorcycle and, according to the company, is the world's first electric motorcycle in its segment to offer radar as standard. It comes with a 5-inch TFT display, three riding modes, long-travel suspension and radial all-terrain tyres.

Its UV Radar Intelligence and UV HyperSense Advanced Rider Assistance System are enabled by a 77 GHz rear radar supporting blind-spot detection, lane-change assist, overtake alerts and rear-collision warnings. The motorcycle also features an integrated dashcam and a power-dense air-cooled onboard charger developed in-house.

The company has also introduced Battery Flex, a battery-as-a-service ownership model aimed at lowering the upfront cost of electric mobility. Under the model, customers can own an X-47 starting at Rs 1.49 lakh, while battery subscriptions begin at Rs 2,323 per month.

Among others, K Sridhar, Assistant Vice President (Dealer Development), Ultravoilette, and Anurag Agarwal, Zonal Sales Manager - East, Ultraviolette, were also present on the occasion.

Founded in 2016 by Narayan Subramaniam and Niraj Rajmohan, Ultraviolette focuses on future-ready electric vehicle platforms and battery technology. Backed by investors including Lingotto, TDK Ventures, Qualcomm Ventures, Zoho Corporation, TVS Motor Company and Speciale Invest, the company has also expanded its global footprint, exporting motorcycles to 18 European countries.

With the Bhubaneswar launch, Ultraviolette is seeking to combine retail expansion, advanced technology and flexible ownership models to accelerate the adoption of premium electric motorcycles in Odisha and other emerging markets.
