The
Simple One will be produced at phase 1 of the manufacturing unit located at
Hosur, Tamil Nadu, which will have an annual capacity of up to 1 million units.
The factory is currently getting ready for mass manufacturing, and will be
operational in the coming weeks. The company has also commissioned a second
plant in Dharmapuri, Tamil Nadu, which will be spread across 600 acres and have
a capacity of 12.5 mn units annually — making it the largest two-wheeler producer

In
line with building the best in-class electric scooter, Simple Energy has
recently announced the completion of developing an advanced thermal management
system with the Indian Institute of Technology-Indore (IIT Indore). This
association was aimed at improving the safety, dependability, and lifespan of
the battery modules in all its products.
