Expanding Electrification Capabilities
The partnership comprises two joint ventures.

This partnership is expected to extend leadership positions and potentially achieve dominance in the two and three-wheeler segments.
Addressing New Growth Frontiers

The company has already entered this space, investing in technology, equipment, and product development, and has secured initial orders totaling ₹8 billion. This diversification into intelligent machines aligns with the company’s broader vision to capture opportunities in evolving technological landscapes.
