One of the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) for the Rejuvenation of Auto-rickshaws in Amritsar through Holistic Intervention (RAAHI) project is Montra Electric, an electric vehicle (EV) brand owned by the Murugappa Group. The Ministry of Housing and Urban Development is in charge of the City Investments to Innovate, Integrate, and Sustain (CITIIS) initiative, which includes this project.
The goal of the 2019 RAAHI plan is to replace Amritsar’s more than 12,000 outdated diesel three-wheelers. The Amritsar Smart City Ltd team is in charge of beneficiary selection and review. A subsidy of INR 1,40,000 is given to each qualifying beneficiary under this scheme. In addition to the FAME, customers who choose the Montra Electric Super Auto will receive this subsidy immediately in their accounts.
The managing director of TI Clean Mobility (TICMPL), KK Paul, expressed excitement about his company’s OEM partnership in the RAAHI Project and about providing recipients with cutting-edge electric three-wheelers. With cutting-edge designs and performance, Montra Electric seeks to enhance last-mile mobility and promote environmentally friendly transportation in India.
An important component of the CITIIS program is the RAAHI project, which aims to lower the city’s air pollution levels. It consists of six interrelated parts: a number of charging stations for electric vehicles, assistance for the three-wheeler sector, generating jobs, improving first- and last-mile connectivity, enhancing pedestrian safety, and advocating for healthier air quality.
In order to be eligible for the advantages of the RAAHI program, prospective drivers must be members of the Amritsar Auto-Rickshaw Drivers Cooperative Society, have a valid driving license, an Aadhaar card or voter card, the registration certificate of their prior vehicle, and a society membership slip.
The Montra Super Auto, developed by TI Clean Mobility, a division of Tube Investments of India, a member of the Murugappa Group, is revolutionizing last-mile transit. With a top-tier 10 kWh battery pack, this car has an amazing 203 km (ARAI Certified) range, 60 Nm of peak torque, and a top speed of 55 kmph. Additionally, it offers the first multi-drive modes in the market for increased fuel economy and a Park Assist Mode for simple city traffic navigation. The car is made using high-quality materials.
