Hero MotoCorp’s electric mobility brand Vida has entered Nepal, marking its first international market and the beginning of its global operations. Vida has partnered with CG Motors, part of Nepal’s Chaudhary Group, for sales and distribution. The launch comes at an interesting time for Hero. Vida has been gaining momentum in India, while Hero MotoCorp is looking to strengthen its international business as competition from Honda and TVS intensifies at home.
Vida India Sales Cross 1 Lakh In H1 2026
Vida registered sales of 1,02,097 units in India during the first six months of 2026. Monthly volumes increased from 13,830 units in January to 20,416 units in June. Sales crossed the 20,000-unit mark in May at 20,130 units and improved further in June. This growing domestic acceptance gives Hero a stronger base to start expanding Vida into overseas markets.
Vida Launched in Nepal
Talking about Nepal launch, Hero has launched Vida VX2 EVOOTER in Plus and Go variants, along with DIRT.E K3 electric off-roader for younger riders. VX2 Plus uses two removable 2.2 kWh batteries for a combined 4.4 kWh capacity. Claimed real-world range stands at 140 km, while top speed is 90 km/h. It can accelerate from 0-40 km/h in 3.1 seconds and supports 0-80% DC fast charging in 65 minutes.
VX2 Go gets a single 2.2 kWh removable battery, 75 km claimed range and 70 km/h top speed. Both versions support home charging through a standard 5A socket and offer connected features including navigation, geo-fencing, call alerts and OTA updates. DIRT.E K3 uses a 350W motor and 360Wh removable battery, offering up to three hours of riding depending on terrain and mode. App-based parental controls allow speed and acceleration to be restricted.
Vida Nepal Prices Vs India
Pricing in Nepal is noticeably higher than in India. Vida DIRT.E K3 is priced at NPR 1,99,900, which works out to roughly Rs 1.24 lakh, compared to Rs 69,990 in India. VX2 Go 2.2 kWh costs NPR 2,99,900, or around Rs 1.86 lakh after conversion, versus Rs 99,490 in India.
Similarly, VX2 Plus 4.4 kWh is priced at NPR 3,99,900, equivalent to roughly Rs 2.48 lakh, while its India price stands at Rs 1.44 lakh. This places Vida at a noticeably more premium price point in Nepal than in India, which is expected considering the different duties, taxes and market structure involved.
Hero Looks To Grow Exports
Vida’s overseas expansion is also significant when viewed against .Hero remained India’s largest two-wheeler manufacturer by domestic sales in June 2026 with 5,02,890 units. However, Honda was close behind at 4,68,956 units, while fast-growing TVS registered 4,11,014 units.
The picture changes considerably in exports. Hero shipped 38,269 two-wheelers in June, well behind Bajaj at 2,22,439 units, TVS at 1,54,403 units and Honda at 59,325 units. During Apr-Jun 2026, Hero exports stood at 1,05,206 units compared to Bajaj’s 6,36,005 units, TVS’ 4,19,737 units and Honda’s 1,98,123 units.
With Vida now entering Nepal, Hero has an opportunity to build its EV business beyond India while simultaneously expanding its relatively smaller international footprint. Nepal could therefore serve as the first step in a much broader global rollout for Vida.
