The new facility will give Virtus Motors the capacity to produce 24,000 units of electric cycles annually and will be a significant boost to the company's growth plans. The firm is also pleased to announce that Polyplastics India, a renowned vehicle accessories manufacturing company, has agreed to fund their growth plans in the form of an equity and debt arrangement.
On this announcement, Tushaar Bajaj, Co-founder and Director, Virtus Motors, said, "We are thrilled to be expanding our production capacity and opening our new R&D center in Faridabad.
