TVS Motor Company has officially started delivering the highly awaited iQube ST electric scooter across India. After months of anticipation, customers in various cities are now receiving their long-range scooters. This marks an important milestone in the growth of the iQube series and the broader electric scooter market in India.
Key Features of the TVS iQube ST
The iQube ST is the premium model in the TVS iQube lineup. While the standard and S variants have gained popularity, the ST model stands out with significant improvements. It comes with a larger 5.1 kWh battery, offering an IDC-certified range of approximately 145 to 150 kilometers on a single charge. This makes it one of the electric scooters with the longest range available from leading Indian manufacturers.
Along with the extended battery capacity, the iQube ST includes advanced features such as a 7-inch touchscreen display, built-in voice assistant, and enhanced connectivity through TVS SmartXonnect technology. Riders also benefit from increased under-seat storage, additional color options, USB charging ports, and keyless ignition for added convenience.
Delivery Rollout and Availability
Initial delivery delays were caused by regulatory approvals and supply chain issues, pushing back the launch several times. However, from June 2025, customers who pre-booked the scooter are now receiving their units. Major cities like Bangalore, Delhi, Chennai, Pune, and Hyderabad have begun handing over the scooters, with deliveries expected to extend to smaller Tier-2 cities soon.
Early buyers have shared positive feedback online, praising the scooter’s design, comfort, and the benefit of fewer charging stops thanks to the long battery range. This is particularly important as India’s electric vehicle charging infrastructure is still developing.
Pricing and Booking Information
The iQube ST is priced slightly above the standard and S models, with ex-showroom prices estimated between ₹1.55 lakh and ₹1.60 lakh, inclusive of the FAME-II subsidy. Additional subsidies offered by certain states like Delhi and Maharashtra can lower the price further. TVS dealerships will confirm the final on-road prices specific to each state soon.
Customers who reserved the iQube ST earlier have been given priority for delivery. New bookings are also open through TVS’s official website and authorized dealers.

Competition in the Premium Electric Scooter Market
The launch of the iQube ST places TVS in a competitive segment where models like the Ather 450X, Bajaj Chetak Premium, and Ola S1 Pro are well-established. Each competitor offers its own set of features, range, and after-sales service.
TVS’s advantage lies in its strong brand reputation, extensive dealership network, and the introduction of a long-range model that tackles the common concern of range anxiety among electric scooter buyers.
TVS’s Future Plans in Electric Mobility
With the iQube ST rollout, TVS is strengthening its presence in the electric vehicle market. The company has indicated plans to launch more electric two-wheelers, including performance scooters and possibly electric motorcycles.
Currently, TVS is focused on ramping up deliveries and improving after-sales support for the iQube ST. Feedback from early customers is expected to guide software updates and feature improvements in the future.
