River Mobility Enters Nepal – First International Store Opens in Kathmandu
Bengaluru-based electric two-wheeler maker River Mobility has entered Nepal, opening its first international sales and service outlet in Kathmandu. The move was made in partnership with Nepali business group Vishal Group.
River Indie Price in Nepal
The new store will sell River's only model, the Indie electric scooter, along with accessories and merchandise. In Nepal, the Indie is priced at NPR 3.7 lakh (ex-showroom, Kathmandu), which works out to around Rs 2.30 lakh.
That makes it about Rs 73,000 more expensive than in India, where the Indie costs Rs 1.57 lakh (ex-showroom, Bengaluru). Test rides and bookings are open at the new outlet.
