Reception of Atul Elite Plus in the Indian Market

As per the official statement and feedback, the electric three-wheeler range, Atul Elite Plus, is gaining popularity in India with a nationwide distribution network.

But there is one missing feature. The vehicle lacks a reverse gear, which is sometimes very hard for the driver.

As per the official statement, the new product line is targeted at rural buyers. The partnership with Perpetuity Capital, known for supporting clean-tech mobility, has a track record of funding players in the last-mile mobility that will help in financing and infiltrating distribution networks.
