We are aiming to achieve a revenue of ₹100 crore in our first year of operations, with a projected year-on-year growth of at least 2X. This growth strategy includes expanding our product portfolio with new variants to meet evolving market demands. We have built an integrated ecosystem that ensures reliability, efficiency, and sustainability for commercial fleet operators. This facility represents our commitment to innovation, community empowerment, and a cleaner, greener future.”
