Hero ownership in Gujarat
Hero Vida V1 and Vida V2 (₹95K–₹1.6L) — Hero MotoCorp's electric line with the brand's nationwide service reach.
If you're buying through Kumar Automobiles - Hero MotoCorp, the on-road price you'll be quoted is the ex-showroom price plus road tax, registration, and insurance. Gujarat offers: Vehicle tax reduced from 6% to 1% (5% exemption) for pure EVs until March 2026.. (For comparison, the green tax on petrol/diesel vehicles in Gujarat is 25% of Road Tax — buying an EV avoids this entirely for the life of the vehicle.)
Central FAME-III incentives stack on top — typically ₹10,000 to ₹17,500 for electric two-wheelers and up to ₹1.5 lakh for electric cars above 50 kW capacity. A good dealer like Kumar Automobiles - Hero MotoCorp will calculate the exact post-subsidy price during the test drive and handle the paperwork.
What to check before booking
- Confirm on-road price (ex-showroom + RTO + insurance + extended warranty)
- Ask about the FAME-III subsidy and any Gujarat-level incentive — most dealers process these for you
- Verify the 8-year / 1.6 lakh km battery warranty document, in writing
- Test-drive at peak traffic and on a highway — performance differs significantly from petrol equivalents
- Confirm home-charging installation cost, including the cabling run from your meter to the parking spot
- Check service centre proximity — most EVs have lower service intervals (15,000 km vs petrol's 10,000 km) but require a brand-trained technician
