After this incident, the government may not consider extending the FAME-ll scheme up to the year 2024.
The Ather Energy official said,” After the subsidy stopped, electric two wheeler sales may decrease suddenly. So, some major two wheelers manufacturing companies are developing and setting up their own manufacturing plant to make some parts of EVs and also make the two wheelers cost effective.
