Suzuki e-Access: Built Smart, Rides Smarter, Purely Spot-On
Suzuki has a timely opportunity to make a strong mark, as India's EV landscape has rapidly evolved over the past six years. EV penetration has grown from just 1.9% in FY 2021-22 to a notable 6.1% in FY 2024-25. Leading this shift are electric scooters, which have seen a sharp rise in adoption, currently standing at an impressive 16.2%. These trends clearly signal that electric mobility is no longer a niche - it's fast becoming the mainstream choice for Indian commuters.
To lead this shift, Suzuki is bringing its trusted legacy into the EV space with its advanced e-Technology, powering the all-new e-Access. Here's how it's making a difference.
Suzuki e-Access: Built for Reliability, Tested to Be Trusted
At the heart of the e-Access is a Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery, known for its long life, thermal stability, and safety. The fixed 3kWh LFP battery pack is backed by rigorous testing under various temperatures, conditions, and safety parameters. That's not all, it offers more.
Lithium-Phosphate Battery For Indian Roads
When it comes to powering your everyday ride, LFP batteries are simply built for India. With a life cycle that lasts two to three times longer, they help keep long-term ownership costs in check by delaying expensive replacements. What makes them truly ideal for Indian conditions is their superior heat resistance- they remain stable even in extreme summer temperatures. Add to that their natural protection against thermal runaway, and you have a battery that's not just smart, but safer and more dependable for daily commutes. It's the kind of confidence you want in your EV-every single day.
12 Ways Suzuki Makes Sure It's Road-Ready
Before it hits the road, the Suzuki e-Access has already been through it all, quite literally. From extreme heat to icy cold, drops to deep submersion, every part of the e-Access is put through 12 intense reliability tests to prove it can handle whatever life throws at it.
The scooter undergoes partial submersion, hot and cold temperature tests, and even a drop test to ensure toughness. It's shaken through a vibration test, and then each component, including the motor and battery, is bench-tested for performance and lifespan. When it comes to the battery, Suzuki leaves nothing to chance. It's subjected to temperature stress, submersion, crushing, and even a puncture test, mimicking real-world accidents and extremes.
Maintenance-Free Belt Drive - Good for 7 Years!
Suzuki's maintenance-free belt drive needs no lubrication or adjustments. Its toothed design and auto-tensioner prevent slippage and extend durability up to 7 years or 70,000 km. Perfect for riders seeking reliable, low-maintenance electric mobility with the e-Access.
Smooth Power, Smart Modes, Regenerative Braking
Suzuki's advanced Drive Mode Selection (SDMS-e) lets you adjust power delivery to match your riding style or traffic conditions. Combined with constant power delivery across all speeds, this gives the e-Access a smooth, confident feel, whether you're gliding through city traffic or cruising open roads. Plus, the regenerative braking system helps recharge the battery while slowing down, boosting efficiency and extending your ride time.
All That, with Spot-On Design
The Suzuki e-Access isn't just smart - it looks the part too. Inspired by its ICE sibling, the electric scooter blends sharp styling with thoughtful touches that make it stand out on city streets. The LED headlamp pairs with a uniquely designed front apron housing turn indicators on either side of the Suzuki badge. Smooth, minimal side panels, a long single-piece seat, raised metallic nameplates, and a chrome 'S' emblem give it a premium, refined presence, rounded off by stylish alloy wheels. It will be offered in three striking dual-tone colour options.
Ride Smarter with e-Access
Suzuki has packed the e-Access with modern features to stay ahead of the curve. A vibrant colour TFT LCD supports smartphone connectivity via the Suzuki Ride Connect-E app. Riders get three power modes - Eco, Ride A, and Ride B-plus a reverse mode for added convenience. A multifunction switch with keyless access rounds out the tech-savvy package, making the e-Access a smart, stylish pick for today's urban rider.
The Electric Scooter You Can Count On
With a perfect mix of technology, toughness, and everyday usability, the Suzuki e-Access is more than just an EV - it's a statement of dependability and modern living. And with Suzuki's legacy of trust backing it, this scooter is ready to power your journey smoothly, silently, and smartly.

Indian minister Manjhi highlights MSME growth, credit surge in FY25
Indian MSME Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi has highlighted the rapid strides made by the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector. He was addressing a press conference in Mumbai on July 4, 2025, following his review visits to IDEMI and the Khadi & Village Industries Commission (KVIC) offices on July 3. Calling MSMEs the second largest contributor to India's economy, Manjhi noted that the sector contributes 30.1 per cent to the country's GDP, 35.4 per cent to manufacturing, and 45.73 per cent to exports. The Minister shared that the Udyam portal, which enables paperless registration for MSMEs, now has over 3.80 crore units registered, the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, said in a release. Additionally, the Udyam Assist Portal—launched to formalise informal micro-enterprises—has recorded over 2.72 crore units. Together, these 6.5 crore MSMEs have created employment for 28 crore people. The number of MSME units has grown fifteen-fold in the past five years, he stated. Indian MSME Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi has highlighted the sector's growth, noting its 30.1 per cent GDP share and 6.5 crore units employing 28 crore people. He cited record credit guarantees (~$36 billion in FY25), PMEGP's rural job impact, and the MSME Samadhaan portal's reduced backlog. He praised KVIC and others, reaffirming support for artisans via PM Vishwakarma. Highlighting government support schemes, Manjhi said the Prime Minister Employment Generation Programme (PMEGP) has facilitated employment for 80.33 lakh individuals, with 80 per cent of the beneficiaries in rural India. Under the Credit Guarantee Scheme, over 1.18 crore guarantees worth ₹9.80 lakh crore (~$117.6 billion) have been approved so far, with a record ₹3 lakh crore (~$36 billion) credit guarantees extended in fiscal 2025 (FY25) alone. The number of beneficiaries is expected to triple by 2029. He added that the MSME Samadhaan portal, designed to resolve delayed payment issues, has seen its case backlog drop from 93,000 in October 2017 to 44,000 at present. The Minister also lauded institutions like KVIC, the Coir Board, and the National Small Industries Corporation Ltd for their efforts in promoting small industries and contributing to GDP and exports. He reaffirmed the government's commitment to empowering artisans through initiatives like the PM Vishwakarma scheme, which supports 18 traditional trades with end-to-end assistance.

Delhi court declares UK-based arms dealer Sanjay Bhandari fugitive economic offender
A Delhi court on Saturday declared United Kingdom-based arms dealer Sanjay Bhandari a fugitive economic offender in a case pertaining to tax evasion and money laundering, reported The Indian Express. The order was passed by Additional Sessions Judge Sanjeev Aggarwal of Tis Hazari court on an application moved by the Enforcement Directorate under the Fugitive Economic Offenders Act, according to The Hindu. It will enable the Enforcement Directorate to confiscate Bhandari's assets worth crores of rupees. Bhandari is accused of defrauding the Indian income tax authorities between July 1, 2015, and February 7, 2017, by submitting two tax returns in which he deliberately hid details about his foreign assets and foreign income. As a resident of India at the time, the 63-year-old was obligated to pay tax on all his global assets and income. In 2016, Bhandari fled India for London, despite a lookout notice against him. In October 2016, a case was registered against him under the Official Secrets Act after confidential defence ministry documents were recovered from his residence during an Income Tax department raid. The Enforcement Directorate had told a Delhi court in April that a court in the UK has rejected its appeal for Bhandari's extradition. In its application to declare the arms dealer a fugitive economic offender, the central agency claimed that the UK court's order had no bearing on Indian proceedings against Bhandari, reported ANI. Bhandari opposed the application, stating that his stay in London is legal, as the London High Court had refused his extradition. His counsel, Senior Advocate Maninder Singh, claimed that the Enforcement Directorate's plea was unclear, improperly filed, and did not meet the legal standards under the Fugitive Offenders Act. On Saturday, the court stated it was 'satisfied that Bhandari, against whom an warrant of arrest has been issued…has left India so as to avoid criminal prosecution', reported The Indian Express. 'Further, this court is satisfied that the total value of the schedule offence is `100 crore or more,' said Aggarwal. He added that the 'extradition attempt may have failed, but it will not make the accused an angel or immune to prosecution for the violation of Indian laws'. Bhandari has alleged that he had faced 'undue harassment and pressure' from several enforcement agencies to 'compel him to give false statements against the political opponents of the government'. He fled India due to this 'harassment', he claimed. Besides tax evasion, Bhandari is also one of the accused in a case of alleged corruption in the procurement of Pilatus trainer aircraft in 2009. In June 2019, the Central Bureau of Investigation had filed a case against Bhandari and unknown officials of the Indian Air Force, Defence Ministry and Switzerland-based Pilatus Aircraft.
