Other companies are also working on electric cars
At present, Tata Motors is one of those companies in India, which is offering the cheapest electric cars. But, in the coming time many other companies can also bring budget friendly EV cars. Maruti Suzuki is also working on electric cars in India. Along with this, Mahindra is also focusing on electric cars and the work is going on. Both of them are moving ahead with plans to bring affordable electric cars to India.
