PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The company, in which Hero MotoCorp is a significant investor, expects 100% electrification of the domestic two-wheeler market by 2030, even as it prepares to start exports to an India-like market in the near future. He further said, "Unpredictability is not good for business because my business plans are based on a certain assumption of subsidy. If the assumption changes, then the plans change, and if I'm not certain about my plans, I can't make investments." Ather Energy had planned to set up a third plant with a capacity of 10 lakh units annually, but so far has not finalised a location.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
When asked for how many years should electric two-wheelers be subsidised, Phokela said, "Three to five years...but what we recommend is that longevity is more important than more subsidy in one year. So, this finite amount of money can be spread out over three to four years, (rather) than busted in one year and be done with it." The company is also open to the idea of reducing the subsidy structure with each passing year, he added. From June 1 this year, the subsidy provided under the FAME-II scheme applicable to electric two-wheelers was reduced.
