The global electric vehicle market demand was estimated at 2373.5 thousand units in 2019 and is expected to witness a CAGR of 41.5% 2020 to 2027. Similarly, in 2019, the government of India announced its plans to spend USD 1.4 billion to subsidize sales of hybrid and electric vehicles until 2022. The main reason behind the emerging electric vehicle industry in India is:

*POLLUTION

*INCREASING PETROL PRICES

*STRINGENT EMISSION NORMS

*AFFORDABLE PRICE OF THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE        

Stringent vehicle emissions regulations have led to a rise in demand for electric vehicles. European Union sets a target of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Electric vehicles produce less low emissions as compared to conventional vehicles. Due to this government around the world has increased awareness and promote the use of an electric vehicle to reduce oil consumption, air pollution, and other such emissions. Rising investments in electric vehicles are considered a major driver for the market. Companies such as Dailmer AG, Ford Motor Company, and Group  Renault are investing heavily in their plan to manufacture EVs.

Aimed at boosting the economy, reducing the pollution level in the city, and providing employment DELHI CM Shri Arvind Kejriwal launched a new ‘electric vehicle policy’.

Yogesh Bhatia, Founder, and CEO of Detel say that “We are extremely happy to announce the launch of our world’s most economical DetelEV Two-Wheeler. The EV industry in India is emerging on account of various factors such as the growing awareness towards the environment, increase in petrol prices, and stringent emission norms, etc. we feel that the consumption of the electric vehicle will grow up now than ever”.

Mainly the company has launched this electric bike for the people who travel less distance in their day to day life. The company has launched this bike in three different shades: JET BLACK, PEARL WHITE, and METALLIC RED.

Detel India is aiming to connect 40 crore Indians with its vision. In the last several years, India has seen a new wave of a start-up culture. People have been coming with their own set of unique ideas and innovations. Some have been quite successful while some of them are in an ongoing process. YOGESH BHATIA is the emerging start-up unicorn who single-handedly brought storm in the Indian electronics market. His firm Detel launched a number of economical and sustainable products which has made people think about how he could do this.

YOGESH finds his inspiration from SHILPA AJWANI( ex MD Tupperware) and BHAWAN AGARWAL(CEO NDTV gadget 360). These are the people who have kindled a fire in him to do something beyond imagination.

Due to uncertainty in policies and lack of incentives over the last few years from the government electric vehicle sales are not growing. In 2019-20 industry volumes were at 1.56 lakh units but the sale of conventional vehicles that run on petrol and diesel were 21.5 million units.
