Ultraviolette has announced plans to establish its BIGGA (Big Global Ambition) Factory at SIPCOT Industrial Park in Shoolagiri, Hosur, Tamil Nadu. The new facility will manufacture the company’s Tesseract electric scooter and support production of future models.
The facility will be developed in phases, with annual production capacity planned to reach 250,000 vehicles initially. The infrastructure will be designed to scale capacity to 500,000 units annually as demand increases. The Hosur facility will operate alongside Ultraviolette’s existing manufacturing plant in Bengaluru, Karnataka.
The project is expected to create around 2,000 jobs in its initial phase, with employment expected to increase over the next five years as operations scale.
The BIGGA Factory will follow Industry 4.0 manufacturing principles, with a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) planned for real-time production track-and-trace. Digital lean manufacturing and digital quality systems will also be deployed.
Key processes will include automation through collaborative robots for sorting, welding and assembly, along with automated assembly fool-proofing and vision-based inspection systems. A specialised test track will be used to evaluate vehicles before dispatch.
The facility will manufacture the Tesseract and provide capacity for Ultraviolette’s future portfolio, which is planned to span Sports, Crossover, Cruiser and Street motorcycle segments, in addition to scooters.
The Tamil Nadu government will facilitate land allotment for the facility at SIPCOT Industrial Park. Ultraviolette said the location was selected for its proximity to Bengaluru, its R&D operations and its existing supplier network, as well as access to an established automotive ecosystem and supply chain.
