Bengaluru-based electric vehicle manufacturer Simple Energy has announced that it has surpassed its FY2025 revenue by over 125 percent as of October 2025.

The growth was driven by its sales and expanding national presence. Last month, the company reported 1,050 unit sales, marking its highest monthly sales yet.

To meet customer demand, Simple Energy has increased production by 40 percent at its manufacturing facility in Hosur, Tamil Nadu.

The company is executing an all-India expansion plan, aiming to establish 150 retail stores and service centres by March 2026. Supporting this growth, the marketing team has been expanded to over 40 professionals.

The company's two-wheelers, the Simple ONE Gen 1.5 and the Simple OneS, were launched in January 2025. Both scooters offer IDC ranges of 248 km and 181 km, respectively and have gained traction due to customer feedback on performance, range and design.

Simple Energy has a retail presence with 61 outlets in major cities and plans to enter new markets such as Delhi, Bhopal and Patna in the coming months.

In September 2025, the EV maker claimed it became the country’s first original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to commercially manufacture heavy rare-earth-free motors. The new motor line delivers performance and torque while eliminating dependence on heavy rare-earth elements.

Suhas Rajkumar, Founder and CEO, Simple Energy, said, “Surpassing last year’s revenue by over 125 percent in just seven months and crossing the 1,000-unit sales mark reflects the strong trust customers have placed in Simple Energy. Every milestone – from scaling production and expanding our team to broadening our store and service centre footprint – is part of a deliberate plan to strengthen the company and serve our customers better. As we move toward 150 stores and service centres by March 2026, we remain focused on driving growth through innovation, accessibility and trust.”
