Electric vehicle manufacturer Youdha, in collaboration with Lohia Auto, has officially entered the L5 electric passenger three-wheeler market with the launch of its first product, Youdha EPOD. With this launch, the company has also announced an ambitious revenue target of ₹1,000 crore by 2030, aiming to strengthen its position in India’s growing commercial EV sector.

Targeting the Fast-Growing L5 EV Segment

The L5 category includes electric three-wheelers designed for commercial passenger and goods transport. This segment is gaining traction across India, largely due to the rising cost of conventional fuels, the increasing demand for last-mile connectivity, and supportive government EV policies. Youdha sees this as a key opportunity and is positioning the EPOD as a smart solution for urban and semi-urban mobility.

EPOD: Built for Performance and Practicality

The new Youdha EPOD is equipped with a 6-kilowatt electric motor that delivers 50 Nm of torque, ensuring smooth and powerful city rides. It runs on an 11.8 kWh lithium-ion LFP battery, offering a certified range of 227 km on a full charge. The vehicle features two driving modes, City and Boost, giving drivers flexibility depending on road and traffic conditions.

To enhance usability, the EPOD is designed with a 300 mm water-wading capacity, making it capable of handling rough roads and monsoon conditions with ease. This reflects the company’s focus on making a vehicle that can withstand real-world challenges.

Made in India, Ready for Expansion

The EPOD is being manufactured at Youdha’s facility in Kashipur, Uttarakhand, which has a production capacity of 1,00,000 units annually. Initially, the product will be available in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Assam, with a phased rollout planned for other regions across the country.

Building a Future-Ready EV Brand

Youdha is not just launching a vehicle, it’s launching a vision. The brand is built around reliable, affordable, and aspirational electric mobility, aiming to empower drivers, fleet operators, and small business owners. According to the company, its mission is to create products that match the ambitions of India’s mobility entrepreneurs.

Along with the EPOD, cargo variants are also in the pipeline. The company has plans to expand its manufacturing capabilities and after-sales service network, signalling a long-term strategy to build a strong footprint in the commercial EV space.

The company’s ₹1,000 crore target may sound bold, but with strategic expansion and the right product-market fit, it’s not out of reach.
