Speaking on the strong monthly sales, Ravneet S.

Again, the number of deliveries is a fraction of the pre-orders due to unprecedented challenges on the supply chain side including components shortage. The high demand for our scooters reiterates the fact that consumers have strong faith in our well-engineered, reliable and safe 450X and 450 Plus scooters. We also continue our efforts to create a favourable EV ecosystem by partnering with Statiq and Park+ to enhance charging infrastructure across the country."
