Greaves Cotton has announced that Ampere Electric Vehicles has opened the brand's first dealership in Nepal. Last year, Greaves Cotton increased its stake in Coimbatore-based electric vehicle manufacturer Ampere Vehicles, to make it a wholly-owned subsidiary of the diversified engineering company. The 160-year-old engineering company has earmarked around Rs. 150 crore for its operations in the EV space. Ampere has also got access to Greaves' pan-India distribution network of 325 outlets. According to the company, in the post-COVID-19 era, personal mobility space, including electric two-wheelers are expected to grow, and Greaves Cotton intends to tap into that segment.
