Jayapradeep Vasudevan, CBO, Raptee.HV, stated that the company further plans to expand the lineup, however initially Raptee does not intend to enter into the commuter segment. He said, “The Indian motorcycle market is twice the size of the scooter market, and the low EV penetration in this larger segment presents a huge opportunity for us to explore. We have a clear strategic roadmap for the next five years and aim to become a significant player in EV industry in the years to come."
