Youdha Aims for 30% Aftermarket Revenue Through L5 EV Growth Strategy

Youdha, the electric mobility division of Lohia Global Group, is planning to expand its after-sales infrastructure and dealer network for growth in India's L5 commercial EV segment.

The company plans to grow its aftermarket revenue from the present 10–12% to about 30% in the next two years. The strategy focuses on the growing electric cargo and auto market where more than 1.3 million L5 vehicles operate across India.

Youdha will scale its service and sales network to over 500 touchpoints and set up regional stocking hubs in Delhi NCR, Lucknow, and Kolkata to support this growth. These hubs will keep inventories of high-demand components like controllers, brake assemblies, tyres, and suspension parts, thus reducing vehicle downtime for commercial operators.

"In the L5 segment, operator income is directly related to vehicle availability. Our service and spares expansion addresses this need," said Ayush Lohia, CEO of Youdha.

The L5 category, covering electric three-wheelers for passenger and cargo transport, has emerged as the main driver of EV adoption in India. High daily utilization of these vehicles has ensured a steady demand for maintenance and replacement parts, pushing their manufacturers to focus increasingly on lifecycle revenue streams.

Youdha will implement a cloud-based predictive maintenance platform as part of its digital strategy. The system will monitor battery health, controller performance, motor behavior, and temperature variations to assist fleet operators in lessening breakdowns and enhancing operational efficiency.

The company will also launch more than 200 exclusive outlets across North, East, and Central India, besides 80-100 retail experience centres in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, that account for the majority of L5 EV sales.

The product lineup will also see an addition at Youdha with the E5 Passenger and E5 Cargo models. A new L5 platform should come online in 2026 with modular batteries, better system integration, and further development of the onboard telematics.

Presently, over half of India's EV registrations are achieved by L5 vehicles. Sales of electric three-wheelers in this segment are foreseen to grow 6–7% by FY26. The estimated aftermarket opportunity for L5 EVs is ₹4,500–₹5,000 crore in the next three years.

"Commercial EVs will continue to lead volume growth. Our aim is to build a complete ecosystem covering vehicles, components, diagnostics, and service," added Lohia.
