Patanjali Electric Scooter: If you thought Patanjali was done surprising India after shaking up the FMCG and Ayurveda world, think again. The internet’s been buzzing this week with headlines claiming Baba Ramdev’s Patanjali has launched an electric scooter—at a jaw-dropping price of just ₹14,499, with a claimed range of 350 km (some even say 440 km) on a single charge. Sounds like a desi EV revolution, right? But let’s separate fact from fiction, minus the marketing masala.
What’s the Buzz?
According to multiple viral posts and some news portals, Patanjali’s debut e-scooter promises:
- A removable lithium-ion battery (3–4 hours to charge)
- Claimed range: 350–440 km per charge
- Top speed: 60 kmph
- Lightweight (75–80 kg)
- Digital display, mobile connectivity, under-seat storage, weather-resistant body
- Drum brakes front and rear
- Colours with spiritual names—Spiritual White, Green Chakra, Black Dharma, Yog Blue
- Launch price: ₹14,499 (introductory), with phased rollout starting in UP and Uttarakhand, all-India by end-2025
- Booking via Patanjali outlets, app, or website
Why This News Matters
If true, this would be the most disruptive EV launch since, well, ever. The price is less than a decent smartphone, and the range is double what even the best e-scooters in India offer today. For students, daily commuters, and especially rural buyers, this could be a game-changer—at least on paper. Patanjali’s massive rural network and brand trust could push EV adoption where Ola and Ather haven’t yet reached.

The Big Red Flag: Is It Real?
Here’s where the plot thickens. Despite all the viral “launch” stories, there’s no official press release, no product page on Patanjali’s website, and no word from Baba Ramdev himself. Every detail—price, range, features—comes from secondary reports, not from Patanjali’s own mouthpiece.
Industry experts are, frankly, skeptical. The battery alone for a 350+ km range would cost ₹60,000–₹80,000 at current prices. No other Indian e-scooter comes close to these specs at even five times the price. As one analyst put it, “Specs like these are too good to be true. The numbers don’t add up”.
Several reputed auto portals and fact-checkers have called out these viral reports as unverified, possibly even fake. There’s no official booking link, no showroom display, not even a teaser from Patanjali’s social handles. Most likely, this is a classic case of viral WhatsApp news running ahead of reality.
What If It’s Real?
Let’s play along for a moment. If Patanjali actually pulls this off—delivering a 350 km range scooter at ₹14,499—it would upend the entire EV market. It could:
- Make EVs mainstream in small towns and villages
- Force rivals to rethink pricing
- Cut India’s oil import bill
- Give a big push to “Atmanirbhar Bharat” and green mobility
But, until there’s an official launch, it’s all just smoke and mirrors.
Can You Book One? Should You?
As of now, there is no official booking facility available for a Patanjali electric scooter. There is no official way to book, no app, and no authorised dealer for pre-booking. Any web site or individual that tells you in a different way is either misinformed or trying to take you for a experience.
The Bottom Line
- Patanjali HAS NOT officially launched any electric scooter till date.
- All specs, price and booking related claims about the viral video are unverified — there isn’t any official confirmation yet.
- Do not pay any one or exchange any information as yet, for a booking until Patanjali makes any official Announcement’s.
As an automotive journalist who’s seen plenty of “too good to be true” launches fizzle out, my advice: wait for the official word from Patanjali. Until then, enjoy the memes and keep your wallet closed.
If Patanjali does deliver, you’ll hear it here first—minus the hype, with all the facts.
