Ultraviolette Pays Back Your Petrol Bills — Up to ₹30,000
Hemant Singh
Every month, petrol prices quietly drain your wallet — and Ultraviolette has decided to make that pain work in your favour. The Bengaluru-based EV maker has just launched a bold new initiative called "Kill the Petrol Bill," turning your years of petrol riding directly into cashback when you make the switch to electric.
This isn't a vague discount buried in fine print. It's one of the most rider-specific switching incentives ever launched in the Indian EV market — and the numbers add up faster than you'd think.
How the "Kill the Petrol Bill" Programme Works
The concept is refreshingly straightforward. Ultraviolette calculates your cashback based on the total kilometres you've ridden on your petrol two-wheeler over the last two years. For every kilometre on the clock, you earn ₹1 as cashback — so a 20,000 km riding history translates directly to ₹20,000 back in your pocket.
The total benefit under this scheme can reach up to ₹30,000, depending on your documented usage history. It's Ultraviolette rewarding you for having been a committed petrol rider — and then making it financially easier to leave that behind.
Eligible Models: F77 Mach 2 & X47 Crossover
The programme covers two of Ultraviolette's headline electric motorcycles. Here's a spec-by-spec breakdown of both contenders:
Ultraviolette F77 Mach 2 — The Performance Flagship
- Motor Power: 27 kW (STD) / 30 kW (Recon)
- Battery: 7.1 kWh (STD) / 10.3 kWh (Recon)
- Claimed Range: 211 km (STD) / 323 km (Recon)
- Top Speed: 155 km/h
- Peak Torque: 100 Nm
- Key Tech: Violette AI, 10-level regen braking, DSC, ABS, hill hold, smartphone connectivity
- Price: ₹3,08,994 onwards (ex-showroom)
Ultraviolette X47 Crossover — The Daily Commuter with Muscle
- Motor Power: 27 kW
- Claimed Range: 211 km
- Top Speed: 145 km/h
- Kerb Weight: 197 kg
- Price: ₹2,49,000 onwards (ex-showroom)
The Real-World Savings Math
The upfront cashback is only part of the story. Ultraviolette estimates that riders switching from petrol to electric stand to save between ₹3,000 and ₹5,000 every month on fuel alone. Over 12 months, that's a recurring saving of ₹36,000 to ₹60,000 — numbers that genuinely start to close the price gap between petrol and electric ownership.
Stack that on top of the ₹30,000 cashback, and a high-mileage rider could be looking at a total first-year financial advantage that crosses ₹90,000. That's not a small rounding error — that's a serious argument for switching now.
What's Next for Ultraviolette?
The brand is moving fast on multiple fronts. Its first electric scooter, the Tesseract, is set to arrive in January 2027 with an expected starting price of around ₹1,45,000. Add to that a growing fast-charging network (130+ Bolt.Earth stations) and new experience centres, and Ultraviolette's ecosystem is rapidly becoming hard to ignore.
The "Kill the Petrol Bill" campaign is as much a cultural statement as it is a financial scheme. The brand is openly targeting the undecided petrol rider who's been watching EVs from the sidelines.
AkulRide Verdict
This programme is genuinely well-engineered — both as a financial instrument and as a piece of brand communication. Unlike blanket discounts, the km-linked cashback feels personal, earned, and relevant to each buyer's actual riding life. It's clever, and it works.
If you're covering 15,000–25,000 km annually on a petrol commuter, the case for going Ultraviolette just got significantly stronger. Between the cashback, the monthly fuel savings, and the class-leading specs of the F77 Mach 2 and X47 Crossover, this may well be the most compelling EV pitch in India's two-wheeler space right now. The petrol bill has a countdown running — and Ultraviolette knows it.
