Industry experts predict that India will be one of the largest EV markets in the world in near future. Electric 2W and 3W vehicles will play a major role in India getting that title. India is one of the largest markets for motorcycles in the world. Also helping its cause are central and state subsidies to take some burden off customers.
Due to this reason, a lot of startup EVs have sprung up and are pushing toward a green revolution. Even LML wants a piece of this pie. Let’s take a look at how these companies fare and how this segment as a whole, fares with data revealed by FADA.
