Tamil Nadu accounts for more than 40 percent of the country's electric vehicle demand, positioning us in a rapidly expanding market. We are operating in a dramatic growth market. In 2023, India's motorcycle market achieved revenues exceeding USD 25.6 billion, with projections indicating growth to USD 36.1 billion by 2027. By 2030, it is anticipated that electric motorcycles will account for approximately 50 percent of the market share, a significant increase from the current 3 percent share of electric two-wheelers in India.”

Given the lack of natural oil resources and the ongoing public concern regarding environmental pollution, the government acknowledges that alternative energy sources are crucial for ensuring sustainable economic growth. Consequently, there is a significant emphasis on the transition to Electric Vehicles (EVs). The EV sector is expected to be instrumental in India's shift towards a low-carbon economy.”

Ramasamy further stated that the company’s inaugural facility centre commenced operations in Coimbatore in 2017.
