e-SPRINTO Targets 200+ Dealerships by FY28 as Electric Scooter Maker Accelerates Nationwide Expansion
Electric two-wheeler manufacturer e-SPRINTO plans to establish over 50 dealerships by March 2027 and expand its network to more than 200 outlets by FY28, strengthening its presence in India's growing electric mobility market.
Indian electric two-wheeler manufacturer e-SPRINTO has announced an ambitious nationwide dealership expansion strategy, targeting more than 200 dealerships by the end of FY2028. The expansion will be executed in two phases, covering major markets across North, South, West, Central and East India.
The announcement comes shortly after the company introduced the e-SPRINTO G1, its first electric scooter targeted at individual customers, marking an important step in its transition from a predominantly business-to-business (B2B) operation towards the broader business-to-consumer (B2C) market.
With three manufacturing facilities, an annual production capacity of 1.5 lakh units and over 70,000 electric two-wheelers already on Indian roads, e-SPRINTO is looking to strengthen its distribution and after-sales infrastructure to support its next phase of growth.

Phase 1: 50+ Dealerships Targeted by March 2027
The first phase of e-SPRINTO's expansion will concentrate on establishing a stronger retail network across three major geographic regions: North India, South India and West India.
The company intends to add approximately 50 dealerships across these regions, with the distribution planned as follows:
Region | Planned Dealerships | Priority Markets |
North India | 20 | Delhi-NCR, Jaipur |
South India | 15 | Bengaluru, Hyderabad |
West India | 15 | Pune |
Total | 50 | Five priority markets |
The company's stated objective is to establish a network of more than 50 dealerships nationwide by March 2027.
Delhi-NCR and Jaipur are among the initial focus markets in northern India, while Bengaluru and Hyderabad will support its expansion across southern India. Pune has been identified as a priority market in the western region.
These locations offer access to important urban commuter markets where electric two-wheelers can serve everyday transportation requirements.
However, establishing dealerships represents only the first step. Availability of spare parts, reliable after-sales service and customer support will be important factors in determining whether e-SPRINTO can successfully convert its expanded retail presence into sustainable sales growth.
Phase 2: Nationwide Network to Cross 200 Dealerships by FY28
Following the initial expansion, e-SPRINTO plans to enter additional markets in Central and East India. The second phase will include cities such as Bhopal, Gwalior, Indore, Kolkata and Bhubaneswar. The company's longer-term ambition is to expand its network beyond 200 dealerships by the end of FY2028.
Planned dealership network milestones
Milestone | Dealers |
March 2027 | 50 |
FY28-end | 200 |
Company targets, not operational dealership counts
Moving from a target of 50+ outlets to 200+ represents an approximately fourfold expansion in the planned network scale.
The second phase will also be important in helping the company expand beyond its initial metropolitan focus into additional regional markets.
For emerging electric two-wheeler manufacturers, broader dealership coverage can help increase brand visibility, improve product accessibility and build customer confidence, particularly where concerns about servicing and spare parts availability influence purchasing decisions.
e-SPRINTO Focuses on Sales, Service and Spares
Unlike a dealership expansion focused exclusively on vehicle sales, e-SPRINTO has emphasised the development of a comprehensive retail and after-sales network.
The company intends to follow a 3S strategy — Sales, Service and Spares — to support customers throughout their electric vehicle ownership experience.
Commenting on the expansion, Shalu Gupta, Co-Founder of e-SPRINTO, said:
“Building a dealer network goes beyond entering new markets. It means partnering with people who understand local consumers and can support them through their EV ownership journey.”
She further highlighted the company's focus on its 3S approach and the need to align manufacturing capacity with dealership expansion.
This strategy could prove particularly relevant as e-SPRINTO moves into the consumer-focused electric scooter market, where service accessibility and ownership experience are important elements of brand competitiveness.
e-SPRINTO G1 Marks Entry into the Consumer Electric Scooter Segment
The expansion follows the introduction of the e-SPRINTO G1, the company's first electric scooter specifically developed for individual buyers.
The G1 has been launched at a starting price of ₹89,999 (ex-showroom Delhi).
According to the company, the scooter was developed following nearly two years of dedicated research and development and consumer research.
The G1 has been designed around the everyday commuting requirements of Indian customers, offering multiple battery options, different riding modes and utility-focused features.
The launch is strategically important because it enables e-SPRINTO to move beyond its established B2B customer base and compete for individual electric scooter buyers.
With the new dealership network, the company will aim to improve customer access to the G1 across multiple regions, while strengthening its visibility in the consumer electric two-wheeler segment.
Manufacturing Capacity of 1.5 Lakh Units Annually
e-SPRINTO currently operates three manufacturing facilities with a combined annual production capacity of 1.5 lakh electric two-wheelers.
The company also reports that more than 70,000 e-SPRINTO vehicles are already operating on Indian roads.These figures underline the manufacturing and vehicle deployment base supporting its planned retail expansion.
While the existing production capacity provides scope to support a wider distribution network, actual future sales will depend on consumer demand, dealership execution and the company's ability to maintain product availability and after-sales support.
The company has not disclosed a specific production expansion investment or an additional manufacturing capacity target as part of this dealership announcement.
Auto Punditz Analysis
India's electric two-wheeler market is becoming increasingly competitive, and manufacturers face the challenge of differentiating themselves beyond vehicle pricing and specifications.
For e-SPRINTO, the planned retail expansion represents a strategic shift towards developing a stronger consumer-facing presence. The company's existing B2B experience and manufacturing infrastructure provide a foundation, but successfully entering the individual consumer market will require a different approach to retail engagement, brand awareness and after-sales service.
Three factors could influence its expansion strategy.
First, dealership accessibility will be important for customer acquisition. Establishing outlets in major urban centres gives potential buyers opportunities to experience the product, understand available battery options and obtain direct information about ownership costs.
Second, after-sales support could become a key competitive differentiator. The company's emphasis on Sales, Service and Spares suggests an acknowledgement that long-term customer satisfaction will depend on the ownership experience rather than merely the initial vehicle purchase.
Third, the G1 will play an important role in shaping the company's consumer identity. Its starting price of ₹89,999 positions the scooter in a market where buyers have numerous electric mobility alternatives. Product reliability, brand trust, dealer reach and service quality will all influence its market acceptance.
However, achieving 200+ dealerships by FY28 is an expansion target rather than a guaranteed outcome. The company will need to demonstrate progress through operational dealership additions, customer deliveries and service-network effectiveness.
Conclusion
e-SPRINTO's announcement to establish more than 200 dealerships by FY28 signals an ambitious expansion of its electric two-wheeler business. The company plans to begin with more than 50 dealerships by March 2027 across North, South and West India, before expanding into Central and East India.
Backed by three manufacturing facilities, 1.5 lakh units of annual production capacity and the recently launched G1 consumer electric scooter, e-SPRINTO is preparing to strengthen its position in India's electric two-wheeler market.
The next important milestone will be how effectively the company translates its dealership expansion plans into operational outlets, stronger after-sales coverage and sustained customer demand.
