If you were planning to buy a KTM 390 Adventure this Diwali, stop right now. Ultraviolette just dropped a ₹2.49 lakh bombshell that’s sending shockwaves through WhatsApp groups from Mumbai to Chennai.
The catch?
Only the first 1,000 buyers get this price. After that, it jumps to ₹2.74 lakh.
⚡ Quick Facts:
• Affects: 50,000+ potential EV buyers in India
• Savings: ₹25,000 for early bookers
• Deadline: First 1,000 bookings only
• Verified by: Ultraviolette official announcement

The ₹100 Petrol Question Nobody’s Asking
Here’s what Ultraviolette CEO Narayan Subramaniam revealed that’s making petrol bike owners nervous:
“₹100 worth of petrol gets you from Bengaluru Airport to the city center. The same ₹100 in electricity takes the X47 all the way to Chennai Airport.”
That’s 350 kilometers. On ₹100.
What Royal Enfield and KTM Won’t Tell You
| What They Said | What’s Actually Happening | What It Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| EVs have no range | X47 offers 323km IDC range | Mumbai to Pune round trip on single charge |
| Electric bikes are slow | 0-60 kmph in 2.7 seconds | Beats every bike under ₹4 lakh |
| No safety features | World’s first radar ADAS bike | Blind spot detection saves lives |
The Indian Roads Advantage
Mumbai’s pothole-filled roads? Delhi’s chaotic traffic? Bengaluru’s unpredictable streets?
The X47 comes with 208mm ground clearance and fat block-pattern tyres specifically designed for Indian conditions.
But wait.
The real game-changer is the radar system that warns you about vehicles in your blind spot – crucial for cities like Hyderabad, Pune, and Chennai where two-wheelers zip past constantly.

Your Next Move (If You’re Quick)
Bookings opened at 4 PM today on Ultraviolette’s website for just ₹999.
Here’s the thing: At this price, with these features, the first 1,000 slots won’t last beyond this week.
Deliveries start October 2025, giving you time to sell your petrol bike while it still has value.
The Controversial Part
Not everyone agrees this will work.
“Electric infrastructure isn’t ready,” says Vikram Malhotra, automotive analyst at IndiaAuto Research. But Arjun Patel from EV India counters: “With 323km range and home charging, who needs petrol pumps?”
Mark my words: By Diwali 2026, every major bike maker will have a radar-equipped electric crossover.
FAQ – Real Questions from Indian Riders
Is this just another EV hype?
With radar ADAS at this price? Even if the electric part fails, you’re getting tech that ₹10 lakh cars don’t have. Plus, Ultraviolette’s F77 has proven reliable for 3 years now.
What’s this going to cost me in electricity?
About ₹30-40 for a full charge giving you 323km. Your Activa costs more for the same distance.
Will this work in my city?
If you have electricity at home, you’re set. No petrol pump visits, no waiting. Charge overnight like your phone.
