Benelli was planning to enter the mass segment with a lower engine capacity motorcycle, however with the government shifting its focus from combustion engines to electric mobility, the bike maker has decided to invest in electric 2-wheelers instead. It has reportedly moved its market research focus to electric 2-wheelers.

Earlier this week, there were reports suggesting that Benelli was planning to scrap its plan to set up a manufacturing unit in India. However, the company has now clarified that it hasn't changed its plans for manufacturing in India nor any of its future investment plans.

Correct me if i am wrong, Is ather the only major electric scooter company in India now? I hope many more companies come up with e-scooter/bike and set up shop in India. More the companies, more competition, better for the consumer.
