India’s electric mobility story is no longer limited to cars and scooters. The real transformation is happening on the streets, in the crowded lanes where auto-rickshaws rule daily transport and Mahindra has just made a strong move in that space with the launch of the all-new Mahindra Udo electric auto, priced at an introductory Rs 3.58 lakh (ex-showroom), which will later go up to Rs 3.84 lakh.

The biggest talking point is the 200 km claimed range, which means an auto driver can potentially complete a full day’s work on a single charge, depending on usage and traffic conditions.

The Udo is powered by an 11.7 kWh IP67-rated lithium-ion battery, paired with an electric motor producing 13.41 bhp and 52 Nm of torque. The top speed stands at 55 kmph in Race mode. To make it flexible for different driving needs, Mahindra has provided three drive modes like Range, Ride and Race.

Mahindra says the Udo is built on a full monocoque structure, something not commonly seen in this segment. In simple words, this makes the vehicle stronger and more stable.

The suspension setup includes dual front forks and independent rear suspension, which should translate into a more comfortable ride for both driver and passengers. The vehicle runs on 12-inch wheels with tubeless tyres, and braking duties are handled by drum brakes.

The driver gets a ‘pilot seat’, which is about 20 percent thicker than usual. The passenger area offers better headroom and legroom, addressing one of the most common complaints in traditional autos. Features such as hill hold assist, regenerative braking, reverse throttle and creep function make it easier to handle in dense traffic.

Mahindra is offering a 6-year or 1.5 lakh km warranty, along with free servicing up to 1 lakh km, which directly reduces ownership anxiety for drivers.

The Udo is being manufactured at Mahindra’s Zaheerabad facility in Telangana, now upgraded with automated battery assembly and robotic production, which is a sign that the company is preparing for serious scale.
