Reliance Enters Electric Mobility with Launch of Jio Electric Cycle

Bhubaneswar: Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries has made a significant entry into India’s electric mobility segment with the launch of the Jio Electric Cycle, a move that could reshape urban transportation in the country. The electric cycle comes with a claimed range of up to 180 km on a single charge and is being offered at an affordable monthly EMI starting at ₹999, positioning it as a mass-market product.

The launch reflects Reliance’s broader strategy of making technology-driven solutions accessible to a wide consumer base. By combining long-range capability with low ownership costs, the Jio Electric Cycle aims to address key challenges such as rising fuel prices, last-mile connectivity, and environmental concerns in congested urban centres.

Industry observers note that the product could intensify competition in the electric vehicle ecosystem, particularly in the affordable mobility segment, where adoption has been slower due to high upfront costs. The offering is also expected to support India’s push towards cleaner transportation and reduced dependence on fossil fuels.

With this move, Reliance expands its footprint beyond telecom and energy into sustainable mobility, reinforcing its focus on innovation-driven growth. The development is likely to keep the EV sector and related stocks in focus as companies respond to increased competition and growing consumer interest in electric alternatives.
