Retrofyx fits an electric hybrid system onto your existing petrol or LPG/CNG auto-rickshaw in under 60 minutes. Your engine stays - you gain electric mode for the city and fuel mode whenever you need the range.
Currently fits Bajaj RE, BS4 (2014–2018). Other models - join the waitlist below.
Petrol and CNG prices don't move in your favor. Pure electric autos solve running cost but create a new problem - limited range, long charging waits, and a whole new vehicle to finance. Retrofyx doesn't ask you to choose. Your engine stays exactly where it is - run electric in the city, switch to fuel whenever you need to go further.
The current kit fits this model only. Additional models are planned after this pilot phase - if your auto isn't a match yet, apply anyway to join the waitlist for your model.
A real sequence - each step depends on the one before it.
Currently open to Bajaj RE, BS4 (2014–2018). Other models go on the waitlist.

We're running a small early-access pilot to validate performance in real conditions before opening Retrofyx to more drivers. This is a limited pilot, not a general public offer.
Takes two minutes. We'll reach out if your vehicle is a fit for the current pilot phase.
Retrofyx Mobility is an electric hybrid retrofit company based in Bangalore, Karnataka. We build kits that convert existing petrol and LPG/CNG auto-rickshaws into electric hybrids - without removing the engine you already rely on.
Pure EVs ask a driver to give up something real: range beyond the battery, the ability to keep working when charging infrastructure isn't there, and a vehicle he already owns outright. Our kit keeps the existing engine in place and adds an electric motor alongside it, giving three usable power sources - Electric, Petrol, and LPG/CNG - instead of forcing a choice. Fitment takes under 60 minutes, and any regular roadside mechanic can service the vehicle afterward.
Our first working prototype was built and tested within two months of starting. We've filed a patent application and registered the Retrofyx trademark. Retrofyx was founded by engineers and industry veterans with a combined background in EV hybrid retrofitting, electrical and electronics engineering, and vehicle systems design.
Millions of petrol and LPG/CNG autos are already on the road. We think converting them is faster, more affordable, and more practical than waiting for a full fleet replacement most drivers can't currently finance.
We're working through the regulatory approval process required for road use as part of this pilot phase. We'll be upfront with pilot partners about status at every step - this isn't a general public offer yet.
Fitment takes under 60 minutes. The electric hybrid system is added alongside your existing engine - the engine itself isn't removed or replaced.
Apply anyway and select the waitlist option. Additional models and manufacturers are planned after this pilot.
70+70 km range per swap, across two 3.36 kWh battery packs. Actual range depends on drive mode, load, and terrain.
₹50,000 for the kit, on-road, inclusive of GST, battery not included. See the pricing section above for the two battery ownership options and their true cost over time.
Nothing is taken from you by applying - you'll be added to the waitlist for the next cohort as we expand beyond the current 2-unit pilot.
