EV Startups Heatup The Indian Market

Electric Vehicles have started gaining momentum in India, especially in the two and three-wheelers segment. A lot of startups, in spite of the concerns regarding the range and infrastructure for the vehicles, have ramped up the competition in the Indian EV market.

In January 2020, electric two-wheeler manufacturers Ather Energy, Ampere Vehicles and Benling India have revealed their e-scooters. Bengaluru-based Ather Energy revealed an upgraded version of its 450 model — Ather 450X — which will be launched across the country.

Ampere Vehicles also launched its electric scooter Reo Elite in January 2019 for a starting price of INR 45,099. Gurugram-based Benling India will also be launching its new electric scooter Auro in the first quarter of the financial year 2020.

Last year, 11 startups had participated in the Auto Expo event. Moreover, around 25 EVs were showcased in the last edition.
