With the EV space gaining prominence in India by the day, there are many players who are willing to set their foot in the Indian market. In fact, there's been an influx of electric two-wheeler makers in the last five years and major motorcycle companies like Hero Motocorp, TVS and Bajaj Auto have also invested in such start-ups. Joining next in the market with an investment of $ 100 million is the China-based Dao EVTech which is setting up its production facility in Hyderabad with a plan to begin operations from February 2020.
Speaking about the development, Michael Liu, Chairman and CEO said, "Particularly we're talking with the Andhra Pradesh government. The government is very interested in working with us regarding carrying the Chinese production power over where in the early stage we'll be creating a plant in 200 acres." The company will be ready with its first assembly line in a couple of months and is very optimistic about its product catching the fancy in respective markets.

It's not only the products the company is focusing on, but also on their reach to the market and aftersales. It will be starting operations in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana with just 25 dealerships in the initial phase. However, it has been studying the demographics of the other markets as well and is planning to open about 300 dealerships in a year, further expanding to markets like Delhi-NCR and subsequently nationwide.
