Thermal power producing plant developer RattanIndia Enterprises Ltd announced that it is purchasing the remaining shares (owner of 100% stake) of electric motorcycle, bike manufacturer Revolt Motors at a time when environmentally conscious consumers are looking for alternatives to conventional vehicles. RattanIndia did not specify the size of the deal, although its shares rose 10% in morning trading.

Revolt is the most popular electric motorcycle in the nation, according to RattanIndia, which already holds a 33.84% interest in the company. Bikers have already traveled more than 100 million kilometers on Indian roadways.

With 29 dealership locations across India, and the largest two-wheeler market in the world, Revolt Motors has a production unit there.

By acquiring a 100% stake in Revolt Motors, we are reinforcing our conviction that the country’s EV revolution is approaching more quickly than we predict “said Anjali Rattan, chair of RattanIndia Enterprises.

“Without a doubt, doing what is right for the environment and the nation also benefits business. When they perceive value, Indians are extremely attentive buyers. We are prepared for Revolt Motors’ upcoming expansion phase “Added she.
