The Mahindra Treo 3 wheeler continues to hold its place as a practical electric commercial vehicle in the evolving EV landscape of India. The 2025 pricing shows slight regional shifts due to changes in insurance, registration, and state-level taxation. But even amid such regional variations, the Treo remains consistent for drivers requiring low running costs with assured performance for last-mile mobility.
Most cities retain the base ex-showroom price in the ₹2.80–₹3.30 lakh window. Adding road-tax and insurance, on-road prices often settle closer to ₹3.10 - ₹3.40 lakh on-road depending on variant and region. For buyers considering sturdier or extended-range versions, such as the Mahindra Treo Plus, prices will be higher. Dealers may add minor handling or logistic charges, and the final number is likely to shift marginally across outlets.
Finance plays a big role in the ownership of the Mahindra auto rickshaw. Many buyers prefer EMI instead of paying the full amount upfront. Typical monthly installments start from around ₹5,200-₹5,300 for the base variants when combined with a common loan tenure. Higher trims or metal-body versions usually result in EMI values falling somewhere between ₹6,100-₹6,900. Down payment and interest rates are still the biggest influence on the final EMI.
The actual on-road prices vary across different cities for predictable reasons: state RTO rates vary greatly, insurance premiums depend on the usage type, and sometimes the dealer adds accessories or extended protection packages. EMI calculators used by dealerships can provide more clarity into long-term monthly commitments for buyers evaluating affordability.
Most new owners point out that, while the initial cost may feel high compared to older petrol autos, operating savings, especially in electricity vs. fuel, tend to offset the difference over time. Routine maintenance also remains relatively low because of the simplified Mahindra treo electric powertrain.
"My Treo cost me around ₹3.25 lakh on-road after all charges. EMI came to about ₹5,400 a month. For city trips, the running cost is extremely low and that's the biggest relief." – Owner, Kanpur (2025)
"I picked the Treo Plus for the sturdier build. The on-road price was on the higher side, but EMI over five years made it manageable. Performance stays consistent even with a full passenger load." – Driver-Owner, Ahmedabad (2025)
"We have added several Mahindra treo rickshaw vehicles to our fleet. Electricity bills plus maintenance are so much less compared with our previous petrol autos. Savings are roughly ₹6,000–₹7,000 per vehicle each month." - Fleet Operator, Bengaluru (2025)
These experiences reveal one common theme: upfront cost varies, but long-term savings and day-to-day usability make the Treo a dependable working vehicle.
If you are planning to buy a Mahindra treo 3 wheeler in 2025, it will be better to get a line-by-line quotation that includes ex-showroom price, RTO charges, insurance, accessories, and handling charges. Also, confirm the EMI breakdowns with complete amortization details, particularly interest rate and total payable amount. Further, check any EV-focused state incentives, too, since these can slightly alter the net investment.
