In recent weeks, several major media publications, Instagram pages, and YouTube channels have claimed that Jio is set to enter the electric two-wheeler segment. According to these reports, the company plans to launch its first electric scooter within the coming months, which could offer a range of up to 420 km. But how much truth is there in these claims? Let’s dive into the details.
Highlights:
- Jio has not provided any official information regarding the Jio Electric Scooter.
- Viral social media videos are claiming a 420 km range for the scooter.
- Reliance Jio currently has no products in the EV sector, let alone the broader automobile industry.
How Did the Rumors About the Jio Electric Scooter Begin?
Over the past few weeks, numerous videos on platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook have gone viral, asserting that Jio is preparing to launch its first electric scooter. Some videos even showcase photos and features of the scooter, including a claimed range of 420 km, smart features, and an extremely low price of approximately ₹15,000 to ₹20,000.

This raises the question: Are these reports credible? If you’ve been following electric scooter news even casually, you’ll likely recognize how absurd these specifications sound. A scooter priced between ₹15,000 and ₹20,000 offering a 420 km range is highly unrealistic. Upon fact-checking, we found no official information on Jio or Reliance’s websites or social media handles. The company has also not issued any press releases to the media.
Why Are These Rumors Gaining So Much Attention?
Reliance has already disrupted the budget segment with services like Jio 4G, JioPhone, JioMart, and JioFiber. Coupled with the government’s encouraging steps toward electric vehicles, many people hope that Jio might enter the EV sector with a big surprise. Some believe that if Jio launches this scooter, it could outshine established brands like Ola, Ather, and TVS.

Is the 420 km Range True?

The most significant claim in these viral posts is the 420 km range. However, no affordable electric scooter in India currently offers such an impressive range. Even premium models like the Ola S1 Pro, which provide a real-world range of 200-220 km, are far more expensive. The reported price of ₹15,000 to ₹20,000 for a scooter with such a range defies logic.
Our Opinion
As of now, Reliance has not provided any official confirmation regarding the launch of this electric scooter. There are no teasers, patents, or launch dates available. This strongly suggests that the Jio Electric Scooter remains a rumor for the time being.
Until Reliance or Jio releases an official update, it’s unwise to take this news too seriously. While Jio might enter this sector in the future, there is no concrete evidence to support it yet. Currently, brands like Ola, Ather, TVS, and Bajaj are leading the EV market in India. If Jio does enter the market, it could spark fierce competition, especially in the budget segment.
