The first components are expected to leave the production line as early as April 2020. Activities in this area are to be extended to other vehicle segments in the future.
The increase in the shareholding in MAHLE Letrika Roots India comes at a strategically favorable time: in summer 2019, the Indian government announced its plans for a comprehensive subsidy program that will drive forward the expansion of e-mobility in India. For MAHLE, this opens up new opportunities for further sustainable growth in this important market in the future.
In quantitative terms, India is the world’s biggest market for twoand three-wheelers. Like many European and Asian countries, India is currently actively driving the transition to alternative drive concepts with the electrification of its vehicle segments.
