Commenting on the launch, Mr. Jeetender Sharma, Founder & Managing Director, Okinawa Autotech Pvt. Ltd. said, “PraisePro will cater to the mass market since it is competitive in terms of price, aesthetics, range and best in the segment with value for money. The detachable lithium-ion batteries will address the issues related to battery charging and the time consumed for the same. The product will cater to the daily commuting needs of office goers and the families. Our scooters are also being used by delivery service platforms and the new PraisePro too has received a very good response from the B2B segment.”
“We believe that e-mobility is the future of sustainable mobility in India. A slew of measures adopted by the Government like FAME II, additional income tax deduction of Rs 1.5 lakh on electric vehicle loans, 7% GST rate cut on EV and reduced GST rate on charger or charging stations for EV from 18 per cent to 5 per cent are setting parameters that enable the Indian consumers to get high quality and affordable e-vehicles that are made in India,” Mr. Sharma added.
