The next leg of growth in the electric vehicle sector may shift away from just delivering better technology toward building platforms that address a much wider customer base. Market commentator Aditya Kondawar highlights how Ather Energy successfully doubled its market share when it introduced the family-oriented Rizta platform. Global brokerage firm JP Morgan expects a similar growth outcome for Ola Electric following the launch of its low-cost EL platform. This transition underscores how targeting broader consumer segments with versatile product architectures is becoming the key catalyst for scaling volumes in India's competitive electric two-wheeler market.
