Electric Mobility In India

So far, Xiaomi has not shared any plans to launch its e-bike in India’.  Considering the momentum picked up by the Indian emobility sector in the past few years, we can expect more foreign players like Xiaomi to explore this segment.

Big companies in the automotive sector like TVS, Ford, Honda, and many more either have launched, or are about to launch their EV models. The government is also pushing for people to adopt electric vehicles. However, except Tata Motors and Hero, most of these automotive startups haven’t made any significant investment to either build a robust EV manufacturing ecosystem or to facilitate any fundamental research.

Bengaluru based Ather Energy is one such startup which focuses on designing and selling premium electric two-wheelers for the Indian market. Investors in Ather Energy are Flipkart co-founders Sachin Bansal and Binny Bansal and Raju Venkatraman of Medall Healthcare.

Ultraviolette Automotive is which was founded in December 2015 by BMS College of Engineering alumni Niraj Rajmohan and Narayan Subramaniam primarily focused on electric two-wheelers and energy infrastructure. In December 2017, Ultraviolette raked in $700K (INR 5 Cr) in funding from two-wheeler maker TVS Motor Company.
