Recently, we have secured 2 million USD in seed funding to expand existing electric charging network. The seed round was raised by Rishi Bagla of the Bagla Group in association with Olivier Guillaumond, Head of Global Innovation Labs and Fintech at ING Bank in the Netherlands. We are already supplying EV chargers in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Telangana and Tamil Nadu and are aiming to start manufacturing at AURIC this month.’’100 workers to be employedBagla, who is the chairman and managing director of BG Li-IN, said, “We have invested Rs 50 crore in our Shendra facility and aiming to manufacture 1000 EV chargers per month for goEgo, which has developed the technology and will market products. A 35,000 square feet facility has been built which will be scaled upto 1 lakh square feet. The manufacturing process is mostly automated but nearly 100 workers will be employed, apart from the office staff.”While the per km cost of travel for the two-wheeler EVs is estimated to be 0.25 paise only and government is providing monetary incentives for turning to the greener transport, lack of infrastructure like charging support remains to be an obstacle.
