Patanjali Electric Scooter: What’s Real and What’s Just Noise?

In the last few weeks, social media has gone crazy with claims of a game changing Patanjali electric scooter priced at ₹14,000 and with a whopping 440 km range. These headlines went viral fast-but is any of it true?

Let’s cut through the noise and see what’s verified, what’s wishful thinking and what this means for EVs in India.

The Viral Buzz: Too Good to Be True?

The buzz kicked off when digitally altered images of Baba Ramdev posing with a sleek scooter began circulating, paired with unbelievable specs. Some posts even mentioned a 2025 launch and added to the hype.

Here’s what those viral claims say:

• Price: ₹14,000 to ₹25,000
• Range: 350 km to 440 km on a single charge
• Launch timeline: Mid-2025

These numbers are mind blowing-but here’s the catch: none of this is officially confirmed and most of it is not technically or financially possible with today’s battery technology.

Let’s Talk Reality: What’s Actually Verified?

A. Patanjali’s Real EV Plans

Patanjali Renewable Pvt. Ltd. (PRPL), a part of the Patanjali ecosystem, has publicly announced their interest in renewable energy and EV infrastructure, especially solar powered charging stations.

• Plans to set up 20+ solar EV charging stations
• Long term goal to build affordable lithium battery packs
• Possible entry into electric cycles or basic scooters priced around ₹45,000

That’s a far cry from the ₹14,000 narrative but it’s still a step into the EV world.

What Could Be Coming: More Realistic EV Plans

If Patanjali does launch an EV product here’s what to expect:

• Electric cycles: ₹25,000–₹35,000
• Low range scooters: ₹45,000–₹60,000 with 70–100 km range
• Focus on affordability and local utility, not luxury or performance

It could still be disruptive-but not in the way the viral posts make it seem.

Key Challenges for Patanjali in EV Market

• No ARAI approval yet for any EV* No official scooter announcement from Patanjali’s official channels
• Service & manufacturing: EVs need dedicated after sales service which Patanjali has no experience in
• Battery cost: A 400 km range battery alone could cost more than the entire scooter price

How it compares to existing EVs

In India, even entry level electric scooters like Hero Electric Flash, Ampere Magnus and Ola S1X cost above ₹70,000.

For Patanjali to compete it needs:

• Competitive pricing without compromising
• Basic digital displays, LED lights and reliable charging technology
• A wide service network and warranty support
