The RV400 is currently priced Rs 90,799 due to the Fame 2 subsidy and the RV1 is expect to be priced at around 75,000-80,000 Rs. The launch shall take place sometime next year.

PluginIndia's Take
RattanIndia Enterprises acquired a stake in Revolt Motors, will invest to expand the network of service centres and dealers across 35 cities. Funds for this investment were secured after RattanIndia Group sold off its entire solar portfolio is reinvesting some of the money into the EV space. So more larger players in the solar field are entering the EV space.
Also it is good to see Revolt investing in make in India. This also will reduce the stock issues.
