New Delhi: Makers of premium motorcycles in the over-250cc segment have the architecture ready to go electric, but availability of infrastructure, especially charging facilities, remained a big bottleneck, Ashish Singh Joshi, CEO of Jawa Yezdi Motorcycles, said on Thursday.
India eyes 100 per cent electrification of two and three-wheelers by 2030. While there has been notable expansion in the electric scooter and e-bikes segment, it has still not made any significant headway in the premium motorcycle segment.
The government initiatives like FAME (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles) scheme and tax exemptions to EV manufacturers have played a key role in boosting adoption of electric two-wheelers.
