“Further, we draw comfort with Altigreen’s primary focus on the 3W segment within the EV space – which fundamentally is less cluttered and under-penetrated, as well as benefits multiple stakeholders in the value chain (from Ecommerce players to consumers),” he added.

Founded in 2013, Altigreen has expanded its EV network across major cities such as New Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Chennai. This is the most opportune time to invest our efforts in boosting EV manufacturing to cater to the rising aspirations and demands of the customers, states the company.  In the past, the company has received investment from Ajay Sarupria, Jupiter Capital, Sterling Tools, Phi Capital and HiTech Gears among others.
