The two companies said in a joint statement issued on Tuesday that the partnership aims to create a regular electric charging network for two-wheelers so as to further drive the electric vehicle use in India.
The two sides also said they will explore the opportunities to use solar energy to power select TVS Motor locations in efforts towards sustainability.
