Suzuki Motorcycle India Begins Production of Its First Electric Scooter, the Suzuki e-Access
Gurgaon, India – May 2025:
Suzuki Motorcycle India Private Limited (SMIPL), the Indian arm of the globally renowned Japanese automaker Suzuki Motor Corporation, has officially begun production of its first-ever electric scooter — the Suzuki e-Access. This move signifies Suzuki’s ambitious entry into the fast-evolving electric two-wheeler market in India, a country witnessing a growing shift toward sustainable mobility solutions.
The production of the Suzuki e-Access has commenced at the company’s state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Gurgaon, Haryana, which has been equipped with new-age infrastructure tailored for electric vehicle (EV) assembly and testing. This landmark development was announced shortly after the scooter was unveiled at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, one of India’s premier mobility showcases, where it garnered significant attention from the public, industry experts, and policymakers alike.
A Milestone in Suzuki’s EV Journey
With the launch of the e-Access, Suzuki Motorcycle India marks a significant milestone in its strategic roadmap to electrification. The company, which has long been known for its popular models such as the Suzuki Access 125 and Gixxer series, is now extending its commitment to clean mobility by entering the electric vehicle domain — a sector poised for exponential growth in India due to increasing environmental concerns, government incentives, and changing consumer preferences.
In a statement, Mr. Kenichi Umeda, Managing Director of SMIPL, expressed enthusiasm about the launch:
“The Suzuki e-Access is a major step toward our vision of sustainable mobility in India. We have combined our legacy of innovation, Japanese engineering, and deep understanding of the Indian market to create a product that is not only environmentally friendly but also practical, reliable, and performance-oriented.”
Features and Specifications (Expected)
While the company has not released full technical specifications, the Suzuki e-Access is expected to offer:
The scooter is designed to cater to the daily commuting needs of Indian riders, particularly in urban and semi-urban areas, where demand for cost-effective and eco-friendly mobility solutions is rising.
Government Support and Market Outlook
India’s electric vehicle market has been gaining strong momentum, bolstered by government initiatives such as the FAME II scheme, state-level subsidies, and incentives for EV manufacturers. Suzuki’s decision to localize production and invest in EV manufacturing reflects its commitment to the Indian market and its alignment with the country’s vision for carbon-neutral transportation.
According to industry analysts, the electric two-wheeler segment in India is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 30% in the coming years. With the launch of the Suzuki e-Access, SMIPL is well-positioned to tap into this rapidly growing segment and compete with established EV players like Ola Electric, Ather Energy, TVS, and Bajaj.
Localization and Production Plans
SMIPL has revealed that a significant portion of the components used in the Suzuki e-Access will be sourced locally, contributing to the Indian government’s “Make in India” and “Atmanirbhar Bharat” initiatives. The company has also hinted at plans to scale up EV production based on market response and could consider exporting the e-Access to select international markets in the future.
Conclusion
The Suzuki e-Access marks a bold new chapter for Suzuki Motorcycle India as it transitions from conventional internal combustion engine vehicles to future-ready electric mobility. By leveraging its rich heritage, global technological expertise, and local market insight, Suzuki is setting the stage for a sustainable and competitive presence in India’s evolving EV landscape.
As the nation takes confident strides toward an electric future, the launch and production of the Suzuki e-Access are timely and symbolic — reaffirming Suzuki’s commitment to innovation, environmental responsibility, and customer-centric design.
