My Words

Tata won the big game definitely today and Urban Technologies will now be capable to expand it business more. As per the Urban technologies- it has Asia’s biggest EVs fleet network outside China and more than 1000 cars running on the road. It has services in Banglore, Delhi NCR, Hyderabad, Pune and Manipal. Urban technologies and other companies like – Blu-Smart are playing a key role today to bring the vison of EV transport into reality. Central and State governments are giving subsidy for the electric vehicle fleet business but I think lack of awareness is also a road blocker today. Maharashtra and Telangana have already announced EV tariff policy but there is a lot of confusion related to EV tariff implementation,”
