India should look at how it can sell electric two-wheelers to the world, even as it develops a market for battery electric vehicles locally, Niranjan Gupta, chief executive officer of Hero MotoCorp, the country’s largest two-wheeler maker, said on Tuesday. The company will introduce three electric two-wheelers in the mass market in FY25 to strengthen its portfolio, Gupta said on the sidelines of an event to unveil 'Hero Mavrick', the first Hero-badged premium motorcycle that has been developed with American motorcycle maker Harley Davidson. Gupta said one of the upcoming electric scooters will target customers in the B2B segment, while the other two will be positioned in the mid and entry segments for buyers in the mass market. “Over the next 12 months, we will launch a mid-price scooter and an economically priced scooter. So the Vida range will be aspirational, accessible and affordable,” he said. Sales of electric two-wheelers in India increased by 36% to 859,000 units in CY2023.

Risks through one or more of these indicators imply presence of a shell company that may mandate a targeted investigation. $1.6 trillion are estimated to have been laundered each year globally, calling for efforts to stay ahead of evolving risks.
