Electric 3-wheelers represent one of the highest growth segments in EVs, and through Montra Electric, we are committed to driving carbon neutrality. I congratulate Selladale Motors for partnering with us in this journey. This segment will be key to India’s path toward net-zero emissions by 2070. As a pioneer in clean mobility and a proud indigenous business, we are committed to working closely with the Government of India to realize its vision for a sustainable future.”
