A joint venture with Hyderabad-based Pure EV was made to manufacture lithium-ion batteries needed for all the electric vehicles, he added. The data says the company will manufacture 1,000 EVs a month and increase it to 3,000 vehicles, once the dealers are appointed across South India, Gunaekaran said. He added there were a quite good number of enquiries for three-wheelers from online traders to transport their articles.
