The River Indie has registered its highest-ever monthly retail sales of 4,436 units in June 2026, surpassing its previous best of 4,273 units recorded in March 2026. Cumulative sales since the scooter's launch in October 2023 now stand at 43,805 units at the end of June. The strong performance has also pushed the Bengaluru-based startup to seventh place in the monthly electric two-wheeler OEM rankings, up from eighth earlier this year.

River Indie sales details

CY2026 sales already account for 54 percent of all-time cumulative sales

The Indie's sales trajectory tells a clear story of accelerating growth. After relatively modest volumes in its first two years, River Mobility delivered 17,020 Indies in 2025, enough to rank ninth among electric two-wheeler manufacturers for the year. The momentum has continued into 2026, with 9,607 units delivered in Q1 (January-March), 62 percent higher than Q4 2025. Q2 (April-June) added a further 11,776 units.

The 23,722 units delivered in the first six months of 2026 already account for 54 percent of the Indie's cumulative sales since launch. At its current pace, River Mobility appears on course to cross 50,000 annual sales for the first time this year.

The Indie is priced at Rs 1.55 lakh (ex-showroom, Bengaluru), putting it on par with higher-capacity variants of popular electric scooters such as the TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak and Ather Rizta. It's a large, comfortable and practical scooter focused on everyday utility rather than outright features, with a generous 43 litres of underseat storage the largest offered on any electric scooter currently on sale in India.

River Mobility manufactures both the Indie and the Yamaha EC-06 at its plant in Hoskote, Karnataka, which has an annual production capacity of 1,20,000 units. The company is also understood to be evaluating a second manufacturing facility ahead of the planned rollout of two new models in the first quarter of 2027.
