Jio Set to Launch India’s First Hydrogen-Powered Hybrid Scooter at Just ₹17,000 Rupee ($195 USD)

Jio First Hydrogen Scooter : Reliance Jio, already a major player in the telecom and technology space, is now gearing up to make a massive entry into the Indian automobile market. According to recent reports, the company is preparing to launch India’s first hydrogen-electric hybrid scooter, and the buzz around it is growing quickly.

What’s making this scooter headline-worthy isn’t just the innovative hydrogen fuel technology — it’s the unbelievably low expected price of just ₹17,000. This move could potentially revolutionize the two-wheeler segment in India by making eco-friendly transportation both accessible and affordable.

What Makes the Jio Hydrogen Scooter So Special?

The upcoming Jio Hydrogen Scooter is expected to be the first of its kind in India that runs on a hybrid powertrain — combining hydrogen fuel and petrol. Unlike standard electric scooters that rely solely on battery packs, this one is being designed with a 2-litre hydrogen fuel cylinder alongside a 4-litre petrol tank.

Reports suggest the scooter will offer a mileage of 70 to 75 km on a single hydrogen refill or full petrol tank. This could make it a highly efficient choice for both city commuters and short-distance travelers.
