Vembu further added, "This electric auto form factor and the price point (take home price under Rs 3.5 lakhs) is a very affordable family vehicle. With volumes, prices can come down."

Please offer a variety of designs and colors on the electric auto line. Offer family and kid friendly options.

Come up with a cool marketing campaign to popularize these low-cost electric vehicles.

I see great potential for them. I love driving one! ????
