creating employment opportunities. The fleet will be allocated across major
Indian cities including Delhi, Mumbai, and Hyderabad. This collaboration

vehicles. The enterprise plans to bring over 10,000 women riders on the
electric fleet by 2025.

Electric will provide on-demand, special training sessions to the women riders
and their family members. The training sessions will include road readiness of
the vehicle, repairs, and basic know-how of re-boot and will be extended to
family members too. It further ensures the support of reliable financial
institutions associated with Hero Electric to women with no credit history with
assured bank accounts. The training sessions will provide necessary information
on loans, interest rates, and subsidies to women riders and their family
members.

a 65% B2B market share, it is still an uphill journey for Hero to catalyse
emission-free mobility and reduce carbon footprints. Hero Electric is
cohesively building inking partnerships to electrify India and further its
eco-friendly aspirations.
