In April 2021, RattanIndia Enterprises ventured into the electric vehicle (EV) space by acquiring substantial strategic stake in Revolt Intellicorp Pvt Ltd.

On July 22, 2021, RattanIndia Enterprises announced that Domino’s has joined hands with the company’s Revolt Motors, India’s market leader in electric motorbikes to transform its current petrol bike fleet to electric bikes.

As part of the partnership, Domino’s will procure the entire existing inventory of Revolt’s RV300 bike model and will progressively procure customised Revolt model to transform its fleet. Domino’s had been piloting Revolt bikes for its deliveries for quite some time now and with a successful pilot has now partnered with Revolt to make its deliveries environmentally sustainable, the company said in a press release.

Given the falling prices of electric bikes due to lower production costs and a slew of incentives being announced by the central and various state governments, these bikes not only save the environment but also make economic sense due to lower maintenance and running costs as compared to traditional petrol engine bikes.

Revolt Intellicorp is the next-gen mobility company, has introduced India’s first AI-enabled motorcycle without compromising on the performance or aesthetics of a regular ride. Revolt Intellicorp commenced operations in 2019. The company offers two EV models in India currently, in addition to a full range of genuine parts and accessories available through its authorized dealerships.
