"The phased manufacturing program announced by Government will lead to immense new opportunities because of serious investments in the component manufacturing industry. This will help manufacturers like us to expedite launches of products in new and emerging segments like popular and premium category motorcycles, higher range 2 and 3 wheelers as well as more customer-oriented products. He says that he is sure that India will eventually become the global hub for e vehicle manufacturing and is hopeful that as in the past, Maharashtra will once again become the Automobile capital", said Jitendra Shah.
