Mahindra Last Mile Mobility Limited has officially launched its all-new electric three-wheeler, the Mahindra UDO, in India with a competitive introductory ex-showroom price of ₹3,58,999, while the standard ex-showroom price is ₹3,84,299. The launch, revealed on February 12, 2026, marks Mahindra’s bold entry into the next generation of last-mile electric mobility with a vehicle designed for comfort, safety, efficiency and premium experience.
The UDO is positioned to transform the L5M electric three-wheeler segment by offering segment-leading features, an attractive range, robust build quality and innovative design — while targeting drivers, fleet operators and cities looking for sustainable, no-emission transport solutions.
Price, Discounts and Availability
- Introductory price (ex-showroom): ₹3,58,999
- Standard price (ex-showroom): ₹3,84,299
The introductory pricing is for a limited period, designed to attract early adopters and make the transition from conventional autorickshaws to electric mobility more affordable for drivers and fleet operators alike.
The UDO is available across Mahindra’s nationwide dealer network in India.
Design and Premium Look
The name “UDO” comes from the Hindi word meaning “to fly,” symbolising freedom, upliftment and a design that breaks from the traditional utilitarian look of three-wheelers. The exterior is inspired by aeroplane aesthetics, giving the UDO a dynamic and futuristic visual identity often referred to as an “autoplane.”
The vehicle was developed under the guidance of the Mahindra India Design Studio, with styling cues based on aerodynamic form, rich geometry, and a comfort-oriented packaging philosophy.
Monocoque Construction
A standout feature of the UDO is its full monocoque body construction, a first in the electric three-wheeler segment. This structural design enhances rigidity, safety, stability and overall ride comfort compared to traditional body-on-frame three-wheelers.
Key design highlights include:
- Bold LED headlamps for better visibility
- Large panoramic windshield for improved forward vision
- Styled mirrors and smooth aerodynamic panels
- Compact yet spacious exterior footprint tailored for dense city use
- Strong structural integrity for high durability on rough roads
Performance, Powertrain and Driving Range
The UDO is powered by a robust 11.7 kWh IP67-rated lithium-ion battery pack paired with a permanent magnet synchronous (PMS) motor that delivers:
- Peak power: 10 kW (~13.4 bhp)
- Torque: 52 Nm
- Top speed: 55 km/h (in Race mode)
- Real-world range: up to 200 km on a single charge
- ARAI-certified range: up to 265 km
The combination of high battery capacity and efficient motor makes the UDO one of the longest-range electric autos in its class, helping drivers cover more kilometers between charges — a critical factor in reducing downtime and increasing daily earnings.
Three Drive Modes for Versatile Use
The UDO offers three distinct driving modes tailored to different operating conditions:
Range Mode: Prioritises energy efficiency for maximum distance
Ride Mode: Balanced daily performance
Race Mode: Enhanced throttle response for quicker acceleration with a top speed of 55 km/h.
This flexibility makes the UDO adaptable across various traffic and service conditions — from urban short hops to medium-distance haulage.
Comfort, Ergonomics and Interior Features
Comfort is a key focus area for the UDO, especially since drivers may spend long hours behind the wheel:
Pilot Seat: The driver seat — called the “pilot seat” — is about 20 % thicker than typical three-wheeler seats, reducing fatigue during long shifts.
Passenger Comfort: Increased headroom and legroom make rides more pleasant for occupants.
Suspension System: Independent rear suspension and dual-fork front suspension improve handling and ride smoothness on uneven Indian roads.
This focus on ergonomics and smooth ride quality differentiates the UDO from many conventional autorickshaws, delivering a more comfortable working environment for drivers.
Advanced Features and Technology
The Mahindra UDO introduces several segment-first or rare features for electric autos:
Regenerative Braking — helps recapture energy and extend range
Reverse Throttle Function — improves speed control without traditional braking
Hill Hold Assist — maintains stability on gradients
Creep Function — aids low-speed manoeuvring in heavy traffic
These features not only enhance safety but also improve operational efficiency, especially in busy urban corridors.
Safety and Warranty Package
The UDO comes with a comprehensive safety and ownership package:
- Brakes: Drum brakes with improved stopping power.
- Tyres: 12-inch tubeless tyres for better grip.
- IP67 Rating: Battery, drivetrain and charger protected against dust and water.
- Warranty: 6 years or 1.5 lakh km (whichever comes earlier).
- Free Service: Up to 1 lakh km — industry-leading offering.
- UDAY NXT Scheme: Includes ₹20 lakh accidental insurance and financial counselling support for owners.
This strong warranty and service cover reduces long-term maintenance costs and builds trust in ownership.
Manufacturing Capacity and Strategic Importance
The UDO is manufactured at Mahindra’s modern facility in Zaheerabad, Telangana, equipped with automated battery assembly lines and advanced robotics. This makes production efficient and scalable, aligning with Mahindra’s broader strategy — backed by an estimated ₹500 crore investment in the new EV 3W platform — to lead India’s electric three-wheeler market.
Why Mahindra UDO Matters in India’s EV Market
The launch of the UDO represents an important milestone for India’s last-mile electric mobility:
- Longer real-world range than many competitors
- Premium safety and comfort features for drivers
- Industry-first technologies typically not found in electric autos
- Attractive pricing and low operating cost
- Strong warranty and service package.
With rising fuel costs and expanding EV infrastructure across Indian cities, the Mahindra UDO offers a compelling, future-ready alternative to traditional three-wheelers while significantly improving driver experience and earnings potential.
The Mahindra UDO eAuto stands out as a premium, highly functional and future-oriented electric three-wheeler. With a starting price of ~₹3.58 lakh, real-world range of 200 km, advanced features, comfort-first design, and strong after-sales coverage, the UDO sets a new benchmark for the segment in 2026 and beyond — aimed at drivers who want dignity, performance and long-term savings in their vehicle choice.
