Electric motorcycle startup Raptee.HV has outlined plans to expand its presence across all southern state capitals and enter western India by the end of the year, according to a senior company official. As part of this strategy, the Chennai-based company has already begun customer deliveries of its electric motorcycle, the T30, marking a key step in its commercial rollout.
Currently, Chennai serves as Raptee.HV’s first operational market, with deliveries and customer support infrastructure now fully active. At the same time, the company has confirmed plans to launch operations in Bengaluru by April, making it the second city after Chennai to receive the T30. The Bengaluru entry will include a dedicated showroom and an authorised service centre, supporting Raptee.HV’s phased market expansion approach.
Priced at Rs 2.39 lakh (ex-showroom), the T30 comes with an eight-year battery warranty and a three-year vehicle warranty. In addition, the company has bundled roadside assistance services to strengthen customer confidence, according to an official statement issued on Saturday.
Looking ahead, Raptee.HV plans to build a footprint across all major South Indian state capitals while simultaneously initiating its entry into Western India by the end of the year. This expansion roadmap reflects the company’s ambition to scale its operations steadily while maintaining service readiness alongside sales growth.
Meanwhile, Guidance Tamil Nadu, the Tamil Nadu government-backed investment promotion agency, described the start of large-scale T30 deliveries as a significant milestone. The agency noted that the achievement follows seven years of deep-tech research and development and positions the company as a key player in India’s evolving electric mobility landscape.
“With Chennai as its first operational market and expansion planned across South India, Raptee.HV is redefining India’s performance electric motorcycle segment,” Guidance said in its statement.
Commenting on the milestone, Raptee.HV’s CEO and co-founder Dinesh Arjun said, “With the commencement of large-scale customer deliveries, we are excited to bring our product—seven years in the making—to a wider audience. This milestone is built on the trust of our earliest customers, who believed in our vision, technology, and team before anyone else.”
He further added, “We are not only delivery-ready but also service-ready. Every T30 customer is supported by a structured service ecosystem, a trusted roadside assistance partner, and a dedicated single point of contact, ensuring confidence and convenience at every step.”
Raptee.HV’s launch of large-scale T30 deliveries marks a pivotal moment in its growth journey. With Chennai already operational and Bengaluru next in line, the company is therefore positioning itself for rapid expansion across South India and, subsequently, into western markets. Moreover, backed by years of deep-tech development and a robust service framework, Raptee.HV appears well placed to further strengthen its role in India’s performance electric motorcycle segment.
