Fisker to launch limited edition electric SUVs in India
American automaker Fisker is set to produce a limited run of 100 Ocean Extreme Vigyan Edition all-electric SUVs specifically for the Indian market.
These vehicles, named for Fisker’s India subsidiary, are slated to be homologated by September, with deliveries commencing in the fourth quarter of 2023. Despite being based in the US, Fisker established an office in Hyderabad, India, in 2022, which highlights its commitment to expanding in the world’s third-largest automotive market. The pricing for the Indian market will be in alignment with Europe, factoring in import taxes and logistics.
“India offers exciting opportunities for us,” stated Fisker’s Chairman and CEO, Henrik Fisker. “Following the successful start of deliveries in Europe and the US, we’re thrilled that we can bring the Fisker Ocean Extreme, with its class-leading range and unique features, to a new market where we plan to grow our brand rapidly over the coming years.”

In Europe, the Fisker Ocean Extreme achieves a WLTP range of 707km/440 UK miles on the same standard wheels and tires, marking the longest range of any electric SUV currently sold in Europe.
