e-yAna launched Taxi Service in Telangana

Currently, e-yAna has 100 e-autorickshaws and another 100 electric two-wheelers and the operations will be started in Warangal and Karimnagar. Gradually the company plans to expand the service to other places across the country with a fleet of 500 by 2020.

The company has a power plant in Karimnagar with capacity of 15KW and all the charging stations are solar-powered. The three-wheelers in the fleet are manufactured by Kinetic Green and two-wheelers are from Okinawa electric scooters.

Speaking at the launch, IT Principal Secretary Jayesh Ranjan said, “The vehicle providers are always saying that enough charging stations are not there. The charging infrastructure people are always saying that unless there are enough number of vehicles on the roads, it does not make sense to invest so much in charging infrastructure”.

Salujja Firodia Motwani, founder and CEO-Kinetic Green, said, “the internal combustion engine has served its purpose for many years, but now, its price has been increasing. On the other hand, electric vehicles are becoming cheaper and are eco-friendly”.

The company is also working with the Andhra Pradesh government and has already supplied around 2,500 three-wheelers as the government placed an order of 7,500 vehicles. Those vehicles will also provide job opportunities to the beneficiaries from the SC and ST communities.
