Mahindra will be working closely with fleet operators, taxi aggregators and logistics companies to deploy 1,000 EVs in the state over the next 1 year. Initially, 25 e2oPlus EVs will be launched on the Zoomcar self-drive platform in Mumbai.

The carmaker plans to manufacture EVs, e-motors, controllers, battery packs and other components at its Chakan plant. EV components manufactured by Mahindra will be supplied to other Mahindra group companies as well as to other customers.

I think this is incomplete news. Both M & M and TML have signed for 1000 EVs each. Financial Express of 1 June talks about TML MoU with GoM for 1000 EVs

Agree. This is part of the 2017 EESL 10,000 car tender. Tata was the lowest bidder, and Mahindra matched them i guess. So the MoU is with both of them.

Not able to book the E2O on Zoomcar platform even though listed.
Any idea when is the commencement of service?
