Mahindra UDO gives auto drivers 200 km of real-world range, up to ₹1 lakh in annual fuel savings, and a 6-year warranty, and it is now available at Siddhanth Motors from ₹3.99 lakh*.
Every day, auto drivers across Bengaluru face heavy traffic, rising fuel bills, and pressure to complete enough trips to support their families. Mahindra Last Mile Mobility built the UDO for exactly that reality. Nicknamed the “Autoplane” for its aircraft-inspired shape, it is India’s first monocoque electric three-wheeler. Below, we break down its features, its advantages over a conventional auto, and what it means for your daily earnings.

Features: what you get
The UDO’s features fall into five groups, each aimed at the long 10–12-hour shifts auto drivers work.
- Autoplane design: an aerodynamic body shell that cuts drag, a large panoramic windshield, stylish headlamps and mirrors, and a premium exterior finish that passengers notice.
- Monocoque build: a first in its segment, the body and chassis are a single unit for greater structural strength.
- Performance: 10 kW peak power and 52 Nm torque, Hill Hold to stop rollback on slopes, and three drive modes: Range for maximum distance, Ride for balance, and Race for quick pickup.
- Lounge-like comfort: a thick, plush Pilot Seat that reduces back fatigue, dual front forks and independent rear suspension for rough roads, and a spacious cabin with generous rear legroom.
- Safety and technology: powerful drum brakes for short stopping distances, plus an instrument cluster showing speed, battery charge and range remaining in real time.
Advantages: where UDO stands apart
Two segment-first controls make city driving easier. Creep Mode lets the UDO move slowly in stop-and-go traffic without constant throttle input. Reverse Throttle gives controlled reversing in tight lanes without riding the footbrake.
Here is how the UDO compares with a typical fuel-powered auto:
| Factor | Mahindra UDO | Typical petrol/CNG auto |
|---|---|---|
| Running energy | Electricity, charged overnight at home | Petrol or CNG, refuelling queues |
| Tailpipe emissions | Zero | Yes |
| Cabin noise | Quiet electric drive | Engine noise and vibration |
| Body structure | Monocoque (body + chassis in one) | Body mounted on a separate frame |
| Traffic aids | Creep Mode, Reverse Throttle, Hill Hold | Manual clutch and throttle control |
| Warranty | 6 years / 1.5 lakh km | Usually shorter |
| Driver insurance | ₹20 lakh accident cover under Uday NXT* | Not bundled |
