Eveready Disrupts India’s Flashlight Space, launches Country’s First Hybrid Torch
The next-gen hybrid torch from Eveready is a patent-applied offering that features a powerful 1W super-bright front LED for focused illumination and a 1W side light, both housed in a durable ABS plastic body that is ideal for everyday and rough outdoor use. The unique flashlight comes equipped with an inbuilt rechargeable battery, which is charged, via a fast-charging USB Type-C port in just 2.5 hours. It is also simultaneously powered with 3 x AA Batteries so, if the torch runs out of charge, you can switch to the Battery-Operated Mode. Designed keeping in mind the consumer’s key need to never be out of light, it has additional safety features like overcharge and deep discharge protection, which also help extend battery life. In addition, the product’s distinctive design offers a position slide switch for the front and side light, a position switch for power mode selection – rechargeable or battery operated, and a charging indicator light, adding to user convenience.
Speaking on the launch, Mr. Anirban Banerjee, Chief Executive Officer, Eveready Industries India Limited, said, “Innovation is at the helm of all undertakings at Eveready. Over the years, this ideology has paved the way for us to consistently introduce unique and pioneering products that empower consumers. The latest offering from the house of Eveready reflects the brand’s legacy of innovation and trust, giving consumers uninterrupted lighting with modern convenience. Our Hybrid Torch, a new-age innovative solution, promises quality, convenience, and reliability to users while ensuring that they never run out of power. Going forward, Eveready will remain committed to delivering smarter, practical, and dependable solutions for consumers across Indian households.”
To mark the unveiling of the new Hybrid Torch, Eveready is also collaborating with the film ‘Nikita Roy’ featuring Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha. As part of this partnership, a video featuring the lead actress will showcase the patent-applied Hybrid Torch’s 2-in-1 power backup feature and easy toggle switch feature to change power modes in seconds, offering long-lasting power and ensuring that users are #NeverOutOfLight. In the film, Sonakshi plays Nikita Roy, a woman navigating through supernatural darkness and personal dilemmas making her a perfect fit for the campaign’s theme of resilience and illumination.

“Our association with Sonakshi Sinha’s film Nikita Roy is more than just a product integration. It symbolizes resilience and the will to keep going, even in the darkest of times,” Mr. Banerjee added.
Designed for daily use, travel, camping, trekking, security and emergencies, the Hybrid Torch’s dual power source comprises a rechargeable Li-ion battery and 3xAA carbon zinc batteries. Priced at Rs. 399/-, Eveready’s Hybrid Torch is available in two colors, red and green, at leading retail outlets and on major e-commerce platforms across India.
In line with its endeavor to offer innovative products and solutions, Eveready, last year, launched the Eveready Siren Torch. A one-of-a-kind torch with a loud 100-decibel alarm, the Siren Torch is designed to help women stay safe with a simple pull of the keychain, alerting others in case of danger. Compact, rechargeable, and easy to carry, this torch reflects how Eveready is using smart ideas to create real solutions for safety and everyday use.
