Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 13: SSO Cancer Hospitals, a leading chain of cancer hospitals dedicated solely to providing organ-specific care for cancers, has announced former South African cricket player Jonty Rhodes as their Brand Ambassador.
The purpose of this partnership is to increase awareness about cancer and promote the identification of cancer at an early stage to facilitate access to appropriate specialist expertise for patients living with complex or difficult (to diagnose) cancers throughout India and the African continent.
This announcement comes at a critical time as cancer is quickly becoming one of the greatest healthcare challenges facing countries. The number of people diagnosed with cancer is expected to continue to grow dramatically over the next several decades.
Awareness about cancer is increasing, but patients are still experiencing many barriers, such as delays in diagnosis; limited ability to access surgical specialists trained in treating and caring for patients with cancer; no multidisciplinary approach to treating and caring for patients with cancer; and uncertainty about where to get reliable second opinions.
As part of the partnership, Rhodes will engage in various activities related to raising awareness and educating patients about cancer and providing other types of support to patients with cancer, including digital outreach activities, media activities, and community-based activities to promote early identification of cancer and provide patients with accurate and timely information about treatment options.
This partnership is very different from traditional celebrity endorsements. The focus of this merger will be the impact on patients and helping to create stronger healthcare collaborations between India and international patient communities.
SSO Cancer Hospitals has developed a strong reputation as an organ-specific cancer network that connects highly skilled surgical organ-specific oncologists with complex cancer specialties. The network is focused on providing advanced cancer surgical treatment, multidisciplinary treatment planning, and access to specialized cancer treatment.
Speaking on this collaboration, Jonty Rhodes said: “Cancer has a debilitating effect not only on the individual patient but also on the whole family. One of the greatest hurdles many individuals face is trying to determine from where and when to get the right assistance they require. What attracted me to SSO Cancer Hospitals was their dedication to providing specialist care and education to patients. This partnership will facilitate more discussions concerning cancer, assist with early detection, and aid individuals in making informed decisions. If just one family’s awareness leads them to take action sooner than they would, it could have a tremendous impact.”
In terms of clinical care, this collaboration will address one of the major deficiencies in cancer care worldwide: the lack of access to organ-specific expertise for patients.
Dr. Sanket Mehta, Surgical Oncologist and Founder, SSO Cancer Hospitals, commented: “In the past decade, there has been an enormous shift in treatment for cancers. Currently, a significant number of cancer types require highly trained surgeons who are focused on specific organ systems and who are also working with a multidisciplinary team. Unfortunately, due to a lack of access to the right channel, to being treated by the appropriate specialist, especially for patients with complicated cancers associated with the pancreas, liver, oesophagus, thorax, or advanced gastrointestinal cancers. These delays can adversely affect how a patient responds to treatment. This initiative seeks to increase awareness and increase the ability of patients to obtain specialist care.”
This initiative supports SSO’s mission of expanding access to quality cancer care. It provides support to patients as they look for expert cancer care and receive advanced surgical treatments.
Further commenting on this partnership, Rahul Singh, Chief Business Officer, SSO Cancer Hospitals, said: “Access to healthcare, including cancer treatment, is a critical issue in cancer care across India and Africa. Many want to receive appropriate treatment yet don’t necessarily know how to locate the right type of services or whether there would be any type of expectation to pay for it. The focus of this partnership is to help eliminate the gap between those who would like to receive treatment and those who provide the necessary cancer care by developing trusted pathways that connect patients and families with specialist teams of cancer service providers, ensuring that patients receive high-quality, affordable cancer treatment. We believe that there is no geographical limit when talking about services provided by experts, and we are committed to providing expert care and support everywhere by using an awareness/education/and access to services model.”
Over the next year, SSO Cancer Hospital plans to implement multiple cancer awareness campaigns, develop various educational campaigns, share survivor stories, engage with patients, establish community outreach programs, conduct media interviews, and develop digital awareness campaigns focused on improving cancer literacy and motivating patients to seek treatment earlier.
Bringing a well-respected South African athlete together with an oncology dedicated only to cancer network, this partnership wants to create a lasting impact at the point of need to help patients access the right care at the right time.
About SSO Cancer Hospitals
SSO Cancer Hospitals is a leading chain of cancer hospitals focused exclusively on organ-specific cancer care. The network brings together highly specialized surgical oncologists across breast, gastrointestinal, thoracic, gynecological, urological, head and neck, and other cancer specialties. Through multidisciplinary treatment planning, advanced surgical expertise, and a patient-centric approach, SSO is committed to improving cancer outcomes and making specialist cancer care more accessible across India and internationally.

The best crypto presale race in June 2026 is getting sharper as retail buyers look for projects that can still offer an early window before public price discovery begins. With market fear still hanging over large caps, traders are paying closer attention to presales that combine traction, urgency, and real product proof.
That is where AlphaPepeis pulling momentum. Stage 17 is almost sold out, the presale has crossed more than $1.5 million raised, and over 9,400 holders are already inside before listing day.
The next catalyst is even bigger. AlphaPepe’s First CEX Partnership Reveal is coming soon, and buyers are rushing to the current stage before the announcement drops and the same entry disappears.
Stage 17 Becomes the Window Retail Is Watching
Presales move on a different clock from listed coins. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and XRP already have public charts, visible resistance zones, and whales waiting for liquidity. AlphaPepe is still before open-market price discovery, which is exactly why Stage 17 matters.
Once the stage sells out, the same entry does not repeat. That creates a cleaner urgency point than waiting for a large-cap chart to confirm direction. Retail buyers do not need to guess where the public resistance sits because the chart does not exist yet.
That timing is why Stage 17 is attracting faster attention. AlphaPepe has already crossed more than $1.5 million, the holder count has climbed above 9,400, and whale-sized buyers have continued joining despite weaker market conditions.
The First CEX Partnership Reveal adds another layer. No exchange name has been confirmed yet, but launch preparation is clearly moving, and retail buyers know the strongest presale windows usually close before the biggest announcements hit the wider market.
Why AlphaPepe Is Standing Out as a Best Crypto Presale
AlphaPepe
AlphaPepeis becoming one of the strongest crypto presale names because it is not only selling meme energy. It is building a product-proof AI DEX story before listing.
AlphaSwap Early Access is already live, allowing users to trade different BNB and ETH pairs through PancakeSwap and Uniswap routers. That marks a major step after the AlphaSwap demo pulled more than 5,000 users and showed the project had more than a normal roadmap promise.
The development team is also working on AlphaRouter, while AI features demonstrated in the earlier AlphaSwap demo remain part of the broader roadmap. That gives AlphaPepe a clear product path: demo traction, Early Access trading, router-based execution, AlphaRouter, and deeper AI utility.
That matters because retail buyers are tired of presales that promise big utility but show nothing before launch. AlphaPepe already has live product proof before the public chart exists. That is the difference between buying a story and entering a project that is already showing execution.
The $ALPE token also has a utility case attached to AlphaSwap. Some future features are expected to require $ALPE access, which could connect product usage to token demand if adoption grows after listing. That is why the $1 price prediction talk has entered the analyst debate.
Best Crypto Presale June 2026
The best crypto presale in June 2026 is not just the cheapest token or the loudest meme. It is the project with the clearest mix of timing, traction, and proof before listing.
AlphaPepe has that combination now. Stage 17 is almost sold out, the raise has passed $1.5 million, the holder base is above 9,400, AlphaSwap Early Access is live, and the First CEX Partnership Reveal is coming soon.
That gives buyers several reasons to watch the current window. The product is working. Launch preparation is moving. The stage clock is tightening. The CEX reveal has not landed yet. Once it does, the presale conversation could look very different.
AlphaPepe Buyers Are Moving Before the Announcement Cycle
The strongest presale entries usually happen before the wider market gets the full story. By the time a token list or an exchange catalyst becomes obvious, the early price window is already gone.
That is the pressure around AlphaPepe right now. Stage 17 is almost sold out, and the First CEX Partnership Reveal is still ahead. Buyers who wait for every announcement may be entering later, at a higher stage, or after presale pricing disappears completely.
AlphaPepe is giving retail buyers a rare mix: meme demand, AI DEX utility, live AlphaSwap Early Access, launch preparation, and a tightening presale stage before public price discovery begins.
Late buyers chase candles. Early buyers look for the window before the crowd gets the chart. Right now, AlphaPepe’s Stage 17 is that window.
Why is AlphaPepe one of the best crypto presales for June 2026? AlphaPepe has crossed more than $1.5 million, passed 9,400 holders, and launched AlphaSwap Early Access before listing, while Stage 17 is almost sold out.
When will AlphaPepe reveal its first CEX partnership? AlphaPepe says its First CEX Partnership Reveal is coming within weeks. The exchange name has not been confirmed yet, so buyers are watching official channels for the announcement.
Is AlphaPepe already live? AlphaSwap Early Access is live, letting users trade BNB and ETH pairs through PancakeSwap and Uniswap routers. The $ALPE token itself is still in presale before listing.

Jodhpur (Rajasthan) [India], June 12: MarwariCatalystsGroup(MCatsGroup), one of Bharat’s leading founder-first MSME and startup ecosystems, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Tvara, the AI sales platform trusted by AWS, Google, Nvidia and Modal. The partnership embeds Tvara’s AI “sales brain” directly into the MCats portfolio, giving founders across seven active markets – India, UAE, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Singapore and Sri Lanka a decisive edge on the metric that decides whether a startup survives: turning leads into revenue.
The collaboration is built on three pillars – portfolio startup support, AI-led sales enablement, and market access & growth, combining MCats’ acceleration, capital and mentorship engine with Tvara’s automated, intelligence-first go-to-market platform.
The problem that quietly kills early-stage startups
Most founders don’t lose because their product is weak. They lose because sales stalls. Industry data shows sales teams spend roughly 70% of their time researching leads and only 30% actually selling, losing as much as 40 hours a week to manual prep across 12+ disconnected tools. For a lean startup team, that lost time is the difference between a pipeline that converts and one that goes cold.
Top 5 reasons Organisations are shifting to Tvara
Tvara is an AI sales platform and matching engine that does what a CRM cannot: instead of merely storing contacts, it identifies the buyer, maps their role, intent and pain to the right product, and fires the right next action across email, WhatsApp and calls before a sales rep even steps in. It replaces a fragmented stack with one intelligent system, powered by four connected engines:
Matching Engine. Sales teams do not lose deals because they lack leads. They lose them because the right leads are buried inside hundreds of names, roles, companies, pain points, buying signals, and intent levels. Tvara’s Matching Engine identifies the best-fit buyers by understanding personality, requirements, urgency, pain points, and relevance, so reps know exactly who to prioritise before outreach even begins.
Campaign outreach across email, calls, and WhatsApp. Once the right leads are identified, Tvara generates personalised outreach scripts for email, call, and WhatsApp together. Reps do not have to manually think through what to say, when to say it, or how to follow up. The system helps them move faster with context-aware communication across every channel.
Action-led analysis. Instead of overwhelming dashboards, Tvara delivers a prioritised, urgency-ranked action queue, detects winning patterns automatically, and surfaces pipeline risks early, so teams focus only on the deals most likely to move forward.
Integrations with the existing stack. Tvara connects with Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho, Gmail, Outlook, WhatsApp, Twilio, Zapier, and webhooks, without forcing teams to replace their current systems or rebuild their sales process from scratch.
Enterprise customization. For enterprise teams, Tvara can customise how matching, scoring, campaign behaviour, follow-up logic, and outreach flows work based on their sales process, industry, customer segments, and internal operating style. This allows teams to keep their existing structure while making their sales motion sharper, faster, and more intelligent.
How this directly increases sales
For a single lead, manual qualification takes around 7–8 minutes to gather details, understand fit, and decide the next step. With Tvara’s Matching Engine, the same process takes just 5–6 seconds, allowing thousands of leads to be analyzed and qualified in 20–30 minutes instead of days.
The result is faster, smarter selling. Tvara reports up to a 3.2× higher reply rate versus generic outreach and a 28% lift in conversion versus manual cadences because every lead is routed to the right offer, message and channel, and the engine gets smarter with every open, reply, objection and close. For founders, that means a shorter sales cycle, higher win rates, and a go-to-market motion that scales without scaling headcount. Tvara is TAC Security–verified and offers a 14-day free trial with no credit card required.
A vision, scaled by AI
“My dream has always been to build 1,000 entrepreneurs from emerging cities and connect them to opportunities across India and the world. But ambition alone doesn’t scale a company’s execution does,” said Sushil Sharma, Chairman, Marwari Catalysts Group. “Our founders from Tier-2 and Tier-3 India have the hunger and the resilience. With Tvara, we’re handing them a sales advantage that, until now, only the best-funded metro startups could afford. This is what founder-first looks like in the age of AI.”
“MCats has built something rare a deep, high-conviction pipeline of founders from every corner of Bharat, now scaling into Africa and Southeast Asia,” said Ruchika, Founder & CEO, Tvara.
“We’re not joining their stack as just another tool. We intend to become the default sales layer for the next wave of breakout startups and this partnership puts that engine in their hands from day one. With the aim to become a core research and data led company” said Shishir Govinda, Co-Founder & CTO, Tvara.
MarwariCatalystsGroup(MCatsGroup) is a Bharat-first, founder-first startup ecosystem helping ambitious founders from Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities build companies that scale beyond geography. Through its accelerator, venture studio and AIF Cat-1 fund, MCats has supported 200+ startups, made 100+ investments, and helped create over 5,000 jobs with 35% women founders across Jodhpur, Jaipur, Mumbai and Bengaluru.

Tvara is an AI sales platform and matching engine that pairs every lead with the right offer, message angle, channel and next action across email, WhatsApp and calls. Built on its proprietary architecture and trusted by partners including AWS, Google, Nvidia and Modal, Tvara helps teams stop guessing and start closing replacing a fragmented sales stack with one intelligent system.

New Delhi [India], June 13: Over 26 million people in India live with a locomotor disability. For many of them — and for the caregivers and families who support them — an electric wheelchair is not a luxury. It is the difference between dependence and independence, between staying home and participating in life.
But when families begin researching, the first question is almost always the same: what does an electric wheelchair actually cost in India?
The honest answer is that electric wheelchair price in India ranges from ₹15,000 to ₹8,00,000, and the gap between those two numbers reflects an enormous difference in battery technology, motor capability, terrain performance, brand reliability, and long-term value. Choosing the wrong wheelchair — too cheap or too expensive for your actual needs — is a costly mistake in both directions.
This guide explains everything: price tiers, brand comparisons, the factors that drive cost, government subsidy schemes that can reduce what you pay, and a practical framework for choosing the right wheelchair for your situation. All prices in this guide are verified for 2026 and reflect the current Indian market.

What Is an Electric Wheelchair?
An electric wheelchair also called a power wheelchair or motorised wheelchair is a mobility device driven by battery-powered electric motors, typically controlled through a joystick mounted on the armrest. Unlike a manual wheelchair, the user does not need upper body strength or a caregiver to push them. The motor handles propulsion.
Most electric wheelchairs in India operate at speeds of 4–8 km/h and cover 15–30 km on a single charge, depending on the battery type, motor power, and terrain. They are used by people recovering from surgery, elderly individuals with reduced stamina, and persons with permanent disabilities affecting the lower body or full mobility.
The key components that determine both performance and price are: the battery, the motor, the frame material, and the control system.
Types of Electric Wheelchairs and Their Prices in India
Understanding the type of wheelchair you need is the single most important step before looking at prices. Each type is designed for different use cases, and buying the wrong type — even at a good price — is money wasted.
1. Standard Electric Wheelchair (₹35,000 – ₹80,000)
This is the most commonly purchased type in India. A standard electric wheelchair has a fixed or semi-reclining backrest, a joystick controller, and either lead-acid or basic lithium batteries. It performs well on smooth indoor floors, flat paved roads, and gentle outdoor surfaces.
Who it is for: Users who primarily move within the home, visit hospitals or clinics regularly, or need basic outdoor mobility in relatively flat urban settings.
What to expect at this price: Lead-acid batteries (10–20 km range per charge), steel frame, 6–8 km/h maximum speed, carrying capacity of 80–100 kg, and basic cushioning.
Limitations: Not ideal for rough terrain, extended outdoor use, or very heavy users. Lead-acid batteries add weight and require more frequent replacement.
Popular models in this range include the Evox 101 and entry-level Seedee models.
2. Foldable / Portable Electric Wheelchair (₹50,000 – ₹1,50,000)
Foldable electric wheelchairs use lightweight aluminium alloy or magnesium frames and detachable lithium-ion batteries that can be removed for airline travel. They fold compactly enough to fit in the boot of a standard sedan — a critical consideration for Indian families who travel frequently or have limited home storage.
Who it is for: Users who travel regularly, need to use the wheelchair in multiple locations, or live in homes where storage space is limited.
What to expect at this price: Lithium-ion batteries (20–30 km range per charge), aluminium frame, weight of 15–22 kg (significantly lighter than standard models), and FAA-approved battery options for air travel.
Why it costs more: Lithium-ion batteries are approximately 2–3 times more expensive to manufacture than lead-acid equivalents, and aluminium frames require more precision engineering than steel. The folding mechanism itself adds to the cost.
Note for Indian buyers: Many Indian homes, particularly older buildings, do not have lifts. A foldable wheelchair that can be carried up stairs by a caregiver is a practical necessity for many families — not just a convenience feature.
3. Reclining Electric Wheelchair (₹60,000 – ₹1,80,000)
Reclining electric wheelchairs allow the backrest to recline — sometimes to full horizontal — and may include elevating footrests and adjustable headrests. This is critical for users who spend long hours in the wheelchair, as it helps prevent pressure sores, improves circulation, and provides relief during meals or rest.
Who it is for: Paralysis patients, stroke survivors, users with spinal cord injuries, post-surgical recovery, and any individual who will use the wheelchair for more than 6 hours daily.
Medical importance: Extended sitting in a fixed-posture wheelchair without pressure relief can lead to pressure ulcers, which are a serious and preventable medical complication. For long-term users, a reclining feature is not a luxury — it is a clinical requirement. Consult your physiotherapist or occupational therapist before deciding whether you need this type.
4. Bariatric / Heavy-Duty Electric Wheelchair (₹80,000 – ₹2,50,000)
Standard electric wheelchairs are typically rated for users up to 100–110 kg. Bariatric models are reinforced to safely carry users weighing 120–200 kg or more, with wider seats (typically 50–60 cm), stronger motors (500W+), and reinforced frames.
Who it is for: Users with a body weight exceeding 110 kg who require a wheelchair for daily use.
Critical note: Never use a wheelchair rated below your weight. The consequences include frame failure, motor burnout, and serious safety risk. Always check the rated weight capacity before purchasing.
5. Standing Electric Wheelchair (₹2,00,000 – ₹8,00,000)
Standing electric wheelchairs allow the user to transition from a seated to a standing position using the wheelchair’s powered mechanism. Standing regularly provides significant health benefits for wheelchair users: improved bone density, better circulation, reduced spasticity, and psychological benefits from being at eye level during conversations.
This is the most expensive category in the Indian market and is typically recommended by rehabilitation specialists for long-term wheelchair users with specific clinical indications.
Top Electric Wheelchair Brands in India and Their Prices (2026)

8 Factors That Determine Electric Wheelchair Price in India
Why does one electric wheelchair cost ₹40,000 and another ₹4,00,000? The difference is not arbitrary. Here are the eight key factors that drive cost — and why each one matters.
1. Battery Type: Lead-Acid vs Lithium-Ion
This is the single biggest cost driver within any price tier.
Lead-acid batteries are heavier (adding 8–12 kg to the total wheelchair weight), provide 10–20 km range per charge, and typically last 1–2 years before needing replacement. They are significantly cheaper to manufacture.
Lithium-ion batteries are 60–70% lighter, provide 20–35 km range per charge, last 3–5 years with proper care, and are approved for airline travel in most configurations. They add ₹15,000–₹40,000 to the cost of a wheelchair compared to an equivalent lead-acid model.
For most buyers who can afford it: Choose lithium-ion. The longer battery lifespan means the total cost of ownership over 4 years is often lower than a cheaper lead-acid model that needs battery replacement every 18 months.
2. Motor Power (Watts)
Motor wattage determines how well the wheelchair handles inclines, rough surfaces, and heavier users. Entry-level models use 2×180W to 2×250W dual motors. Mid-range models use 2×350W. Premium models use 2×500W or higher.
Higher wattage costs more but delivers meaningfully better performance on Indian road conditions — broken pavements, small ramps, doorway thresholds, and the gentle slopes common in residential areas.
3. Frame Material
Steel frames are heavier (total wheelchair weight 35–50 kg with battery) but more durable and significantly cheaper to manufacture. They are fine for stationary or low-transport use.
Aluminium alloy frames reduce total weight to 18–28 kg, making the wheelchair easier for caregivers to lift, transport in cars, and navigate through narrow Indian doorways. Aluminium frames cost ₹10,000–₹25,000 more than equivalent steel-frame models.
4. Weight Capacity
Standard models handle up to 100 kg. Models rated for 110–135 kg use reinforced components and cost 15–25% more. Bariatric models (150 kg+) use specialist engineering and command significant price premiums.
5. Folding Mechanism
Non-folding wheelchairs are cheaper to produce. Manual-fold mechanisms add some cost. Auto-fold mechanisms — where the wheelchair folds with a button press or remote — add ₹20,000–₹50,000 to the price. For families navigating car transport and home storage daily, auto-fold can be worth the premium.
6. Brand and After-Sales Network
Brand premium in electric wheelchairs is largely justified by service network. A ₹90,000 Karma wheelchair with service available in 50 cities may represent better long-term value than a ₹60,000 unknown-brand model where spare parts and service are unavailable locally.
Ask every brand before purchasing: Where is your nearest service centre? What is the typical turnaround time for repairs? Are spare parts available separately?
7. GST on Electric Wheelchairs in India
Wheelchairs, including electrically propelled wheelchairs, attract 5% GST in India under HSN Code 8713 10 00. This is a concessional rate (compared to 18% or 28% for most consumer goods), reflecting the government’s recognition of wheelchairs as essential medical devices.
When comparing prices across sellers, confirm whether the quoted price is inclusive or exclusive of GST. Online platforms typically show GST-inclusive prices; some medical equipment dealers quote ex-GST.
8. Online vs Offline Purchase
Online platforms (Amazon.in, Flipkart, brand websites) typically offer 10–20% lower prices than offline dealers, driven by lower distribution costs and frequent platform discounts. However, offline purchase allows you to physically try the wheelchair, assess seat fit, and access immediate installation and demonstration support.
For a first-time purchase, particularly for elderly users or those with complex medical conditions, an offline demo is strongly recommended before committing to any model.
Government Schemes and Subsidies for Electric Wheelchairs in India
This is among the most under-utilised resources available to Indian wheelchair buyers. Multiple central and state government schemes provide either free or heavily subsidised electric wheelchairs to eligible persons with disabilities.
The ADIP Scheme (Assistance to Disabled Persons)
The ADIP scheme is run by the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment and is implemented through ALIMCO (Artificial Limbs Manufacturing Corporation of India) — the largest manufacturer of rehabilitation aids in South Asia. The scheme provides assistive devices, including motorised wheelchairs, to persons with disabilities at subsidised or no cost.
Eligibility for motorised wheelchair under ADIP:
●Indian citizen of any age
●Locomotor disability of 80% or more (required specifically for motorised/joystick wheelchairs)
●Monthly income of self or guardian from all sources should not exceed ₹30,000 for 50% subsidy
How to apply: Register at the ADIP portal (adip.depwd.gov.in) or visit your nearest ALIMCO centre, District Disability Rehabilitation Centre (DDRC), or Pradhanmantri Divyangjan Kendra (PMDK). You will need a UDID card or UDID enrollment number, along with a valid disability certificate.
Practical note: ALIMCO conducts distribution camps across India periodically. Check the ALIMCO website (alimco.in) for upcoming camp dates in your state.
Rashtriya Vayoshri Yojana (RVY)
Senior citizens above 60 years with monthly income below ₹15,000 can access assistive devices including wheelchairs through this scheme. Implemented by ALIMCO, this scheme specifically targets the elderly population.
State Government Schemes
Several Indian states operate their own supplementary disability welfare schemes. Karnataka, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and Odisha, among others, have state-level provisions for assistive device support. Contact your District Social Welfare Office for state-specific programmes.
UDID Card Benefits
The Unique Disability ID (UDID) card issued by the Ministry of Social Justice is increasingly required for accessing central and state disability welfare schemes. If you do not have a UDID card, apply at swavlambancard.gov.in before approaching any scheme for wheelchair assistance.
Where to Buy an Electric Wheelchair in India
Online Platforms
●Amazon.in— Widest selection, competitive pricing, easy returns, and customer reviews for reference.
●Flipkart— Good for brand-name models with occasional platform-level discounts.
●Brand websites (Karma, Evox, Vissco, Arcatron) — Often offer direct pricing, warranty assurance, and installation support.
●1mg / Tata 1mg— Growing medical equipment section with verified products.
●Evox— Specialist medical equipment platforms with curated selections and expert guidance.
Advantage: Lower prices, wider choice, doorstep delivery, easy comparison. Risk: Cannot physically assess fit or comfort before purchasing. Returns can be complicated for large medical equipment.
Offline / Dealer Purchase
Medical equipment stores are present in every major Indian city. For Delhi NCR, look along Hospital Road areas near AIIMS and Safdarjung. Mumbai has strong dealer clusters in Parel and Mulund. Bangalore has dealers near Victoria Hospital and Rajajinagar medical districts.
Recommended approach for first-time buyers: Shortlist 2–3 models online using this guide and the brand websites. Then visit a local dealer to physically sit in those models before purchasing — even if you ultimately buy online.
Electric Wheelchair Price by City in India
Electric wheelchair prices are broadly consistent across India when purchasing online. For offline purchases, prices vary by city due to transport costs, dealer margin structures, and local competition.
Chandigarh, Panchkula & Mohali: A well-developed mobility equipment market with authorised dealers and healthcare suppliers across the Tricity region. Evox and other leading brands are readily available, with many dealers offering product demonstrations, delivery, and after-sales support. Competitive pricing and easy accessibility make Chandigarh, Panchkula, and Mohali strong locations for purchasing an electric wheelchair.
Delhi NCR: Highly competitive offline market with multiple authorised dealers for all major brands. Same-day delivery available from several dealers.
Mumbai: Strong dealer presence; premium models more readily available than in smaller cities.
Bangalore: Good availability of Arcatron and Karma models. Growing number of specialist mobility dealers.
Chennai and Hyderabad: Major dealers present; allow 2–3 days for delivery of specific models.
Smaller cities and towns: Online purchase is often recommended. Most brands offer pan-India delivery with installation support. Verify service centre availability in your city before purchasing any electric wheelchair in India.
Use this checklist before making any purchase decision.
Step 1: Assess primary use environment Will the wheelchair be used mainly indoors, outdoors, or both? Indoor-primary use can be served by a budget model. Daily outdoor use requires a mid-range model with appropriate motor power and battery range.
Step 2: Measure your home and route Measure doorway widths at home (standard Indian doors are 76–90 cm). Most electric wheelchairs are 60–70 cm wide. Check for ramps, thresholds, and lift access if living in a multi-floor building.
Step 3: Assess the user’s weight and size Never buy a wheelchair without confirming the user’s weight against the model’s rated capacity. Allow a buffer — if the user weighs 95 kg, do not buy a wheelchair rated for 100 kg.
Step 4: Calculate daily range requirement Estimate how many kilometres the user needs to travel per day. Double that number, then choose a model whose rated battery range meets or exceeds that figure (batteries degrade over time, so buy with margin).
Step 5: Verify service centre availability Before purchasing, call the brand and confirm there is an authorised service centre in your city or within 50 km. A warranty is only valuable if it can be honoured locally.
Step 6: Request a home demo Most major dealers and several brands offer free home demonstrations. Particularly for elderly users or those with complex postural needs, a home demo is worth requesting. It allows you to test the wheelchair in the actual environment where it will be used.
Step 7: Check EMI availability Several online platforms and some brands offer no-cost EMI or 0% finance options that can make a higher-quality, longer-lasting wheelchair more financially accessible. Amazon.in and brand websites frequently run EMI offers.
Electric Wheelchair Maintenance Costs in India
Buying the wheelchair is not the final cost. Budget for ongoing maintenance.
Battery replacement: Lead-acid batteries typically require replacement every 12–18 months at a cost of ₹3,000–₹8,000 per set. Lithium-ion batteries last 3–5 years but cost ₹15,000–₹35,000 to replace.
Annual servicing: Plan for an annual service check covering motor lubrication, brake adjustment, tyre condition, and electrical connections. Authorised service typically costs ₹1,500–₹4,000.
Tyres: Solid tyres are maintenance-free. Pneumatic tyres need periodic inflation and occasional replacement (₹500–₹2,000 per tyre).
Joystick and electrical components: These rarely fail in well-maintained chairs, but replacement joysticks cost ₹2,000–₹8,000. Always purchase from a brand with accessible spare parts.
Total annual maintenance estimate:₹3,000–₹10,000 per year for mid-range models with lithium batteries. Budget more in the first year as you learn the chair’s specific requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions About Electric Wheelchair Price in India
What is the average price of an electric wheelchair in India?
The average price paid by Indian buyers for a mid-range electric wheelchair suitable for daily use is ₹60,000–₹1,20,000. Budget models start at ₹35,000 and specialised premium models can reach ₹8,00,000. Most families buying for an elderly parent or post-surgery patient are well served by models in the ₹55,000–₹90,000 range.
Which is the best electric wheelchair brand in India for the money?
Karma offers the best combination of quality, features, and after-sales service network across India and is the most recommended brand by rehabilitation professionals. For buyers on a tighter budget, Evox and Vissco offer reliable entry-to-mid-range options with genuine brand accountability.
Is GST applicable on electric wheelchairs in India?
Yes. Electric wheelchairs attract 5% GST in India under HSN Code 8713. This is a concessional rate. Most quoted prices online are GST-inclusive; verify with the seller when in doubt.
Can I buy an electric wheelchair on EMI in India?
Yes. Amazon.in, Flipkart, and most brand websites offer EMI options through credit cards and no-cost EMI schemes from major banks. Some brands also offer direct financing. A ₹80,000 wheelchair can typically be spread over 6–12 months through these schemes.
How long does an electric wheelchair battery last in India?
Lead-acid batteries typically last 12–18 months with daily use. Lithium-ion batteries last 3–5 years. Both types should be charged fully before first use and stored with a partial charge (40–60%) if the wheelchair will be unused for extended periods.
Are electric wheelchairs covered under health insurance in India?
Most standard Indian health insurance policies do not cover assistive devices including wheelchairs as a matter of course. Some critical illness policies and specialised disability insurance riders may provide partial coverage. Check your policy terms carefully and consult your insurer.
Can an electric wheelchair be used on Indian roads?
Yes, but with important caveats. Most electric wheelchairs are designed for pavements, smooth roads, and gentle inclines. Indian road conditions — broken footpaths, monsoon-flooded roads, steep kerbs — can challenge basic models. For regular outdoor use on Indian roads, choose a mid-range or higher model with adequate ground clearance, motor power of at least 2×350W, and puncture-resistant tyres.
What is the weight of an electric wheelchair in India?
Standard electric wheelchairs with lead-acid batteries weigh 35–50 kg. Foldable models with lithium batteries weigh 18–28 kg. The weight matters significantly if the wheelchair needs to be transported in a car, carried up stairs, or stored in a compact space.
The Right Electric Wheelchair for Your Situation: A Summary
There is no single right answer to the question of which electric wheelchair to buy. There is only the right answer for your specific user, their daily environment, their physical requirements, and your budget.
For families buying for an elderly parent with general mobility limitations and primarily indoor use, a reliable mid-range model from Karma or Evox in the ₹55,000–₹85,000 range, with lithium battery if possible, will serve well for years.
For post-surgical patients needing a wheelchair for 3–6 months of recovery,

Bangalore (Karnataka) [India], June 12: PayRupik, which is a part of Sayyam Investments Private Limited, won the prestigious “Excellence in Scalable Digital Lending” award at the World Fintech Summit 2026. With this latest accolade, PayRupik became the recipient of its second major industry award in two consecutive quarters.
At the World Fintech Summit 2026, PayRupik also acted as the Instant Credit Partner, participating in discussions regarding the role played by technology in providing easy access to credits while ensuring responsible lending practices. The summit featured discussions on how India’s digital lending system is developing along with improved data systems and inclusive lending models.
Strengthening the discussion on credit accessibility
Another major component of PayRupik’s participation involved its presentation during the panel discussion “NBFC Innovation: Technology and Credit Accessibility”. Govind Kumar, Chief Technology Officer at Sayyam Investments Private Limited, gave his inputs on how alternative data can be leveraged to better refine underwriting mechanisms for customers that lack creditworthiness from the traditional perspective.
In particular, the discussion touched upon the growing use of transaction SMS analytics, behaviour in paying utilities, Account Aggregator solutions, GST-related business activity data, information about devices, and banking statements as ways for lenders to gain better insights into the behaviour of their customers.
“Alternative data is gradually helping the industry move beyond conventional credit assessment models and build a more contextual understanding of customer behaviour. The larger opportunity lies in balancing financial accessibility with responsible underwriting, transparency, and long-term customer trust,” stated Govind Kumar, CTO, Sayyam Investments Private Limited.
The discussion showed how behavioural and transactional insights could enable the assessment of both the intention and capability to repay. For the digital lending market and NBFCs specifically, such a development is becoming increasingly relevant and crucial.
Towards creating the future of responsible finance
In one of the key events hosted as part of the summit programme, Maaz Ahmed, Senior Product Manager at Sayyam Investments Private Limited, spoke on the topic “Building the Future of Responsible Finance.”
The key focus of the keynote was on the way India’s digital public infrastructure and tools like UPI and digital onboarding are contributing to increased financial accessibility. There were some highlights about the increasingly important presence of fintech firms in newer fields like health financing, BBPS-enabled transactions, and co-lending platforms.
Some interesting talks held during the summit were about the ability of NBFCs to provide more financial accessibility through better engagement models using artificial intelligence, multi-language support, and digitalised loan processes.
PayRupik’s Expanding Portfolio of Digital Loans
Sayyam Investments Private Limited currently manages an investment portfolio worth over ₹1,500 crore, having provided loans to over 20 million customers through their digital finance service portfolio.
Through their PayRupik product, the company has set out to offer their customers secure and easy loans for consumer purposes, which have evolved over time to become more complicated. Attendance at the World Fintech Summit 2026 is in line with this business strategy.
