Honda has now introduced a more affordable battery swap plan for its Indian customers. The announcement was made by the brand on its social media channels.

However, now Honda Power Pack Energy has extended a new subscription plan, called 'Lite', that costs Rs 678 (excluding GST).

However, if the customer swamps beyond the given limit, he needs to pay Rs 180 per battery. Honda Activa E As per SIAM, Honda managed to sell only 106 units of the Activa E in March 2025, which further dropped to just 32 units in April 2025. Also, Honda offers only a battery-swapping option for the electric scooter, ditching the home charging option. This might be one of the reasons why the sales of the Honda Activa E have fallen to double digits. The Honda Activa E gets two variants, starting at Rs 1.17 lakh (ex-showroom) for the Honda Activa E STD and the Honda Activa E RoadSync Duo, which costs Rs 1.52 lakh (ex-showroom). The Activa E is powered by a 6 kW motor and gets two swappable batteries of 1.5 kWh capacity, offering a claimed range of 102 kilometers. The Honda Activa E features an all-LED light setup that includes the LED headlamps, taillamps, and LED DRL. The STD variant gets a 5-inch TFT display, while the RoadSync variant gets a 7-inch TFT unit enabled with Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, music controls, and call & SMS alerts.

Mumbai Metro, Monorail To Get EV Battery Swap Facility At 31 Locations
Quick Read Summary is AI generated, newsroom reviewed. MMMOCL and Honda Power Pack Energy are launching a battery-swapping network at Mumbai's metro and monorail stations to promote EV adoption. The project includes 31 stations, enhancing urban mobility and generating revenue. Mumbai: In a major push towards clean mobility, the Maha Mumbai Metro Operation Corporation Ltd (MMMOCL) has joined hands with Honda Power Pack Energy India Pvt Ltd to launch a battery-swapping network across Mumbai's metro and monorail stations. The move makes Mumbai one of the first Indian cities to embed electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure into its public transport system. As part of the initiative, 31 battery-swapping stations will be installed - 25 along the metro Lines, and six at monorail stops - with the aim of easing electric vehicle adoption among two- and three-wheeler users, especially delivery agents and fleet operators. The first such 'E:swap' centre has already been commissioned at Dahisar East metro station. The project is the first large-scale rollout under MMMOCL's newly adopted EV policy, approved in its 29th board meeting chaired by MMRDA Commissioner Sanjay Mukherjee. Honda's 'E:swap' technology allows EV users to replace depleted batteries with fully charged units in under two minutes, tackling key hurdles like charging time and range anxiety. "This collaboration with Honda marks a significant stride in our mission to create a sustainable, low-emission urban ecosystem," Mr Mukherjee said. "We're rapidly expanding this network across the city." The stations will be established at key locations including Gundavali, Jogeshwari East, Goregaon East, Malad West, Andheri West, Dahisar East, Borivali West and major monorail points like Wadala and Chembur. All installations will follow safety and environmental protocols. According to MMMOCL, the project will generate an estimated Rs 30 lakh in non-fare box revenue, contributing to the agency's financial sustainability.
