We have been trying to enter this market for a very long time but were awaiting the right partner, right location, and a right time. We are entering the market at the most auspicious time of the year and couldn’t be more glad about the timing. Our scooters have been receiving phenomenal responses from across the country and also Siliguri, where we opened last year.
Now with the launch of Gen 3 with a bigger battery and improved performance, we witnessed a surge in queries regarding our vehicles from the people of the state.
