The investment also includes the electric vehicles where the company is lacking behind as its rivals Bajaj Auto and TVs has recently launched their first electric two-wheelers in the market. The company claims that it wants to become a carbon-neutral company by 2030 and would also be making suitable investments in its facilities for electric vehicles.

Its some of the features include LED headlamps and sidelight indicators at front. Telescopic suspension at the front and a USB socket for Mobile charging. 



At current Hero Motocorp’s petrol version of Hero Duet is priced at 48,280. So we can expect its electric version is priced between 70 to 90 thousand. If the company brings this electric scooter in affordable price then it will definitely rule the EV market.
