This will be the company's second electric car after the recently launched 'e-Vitara'.
Affordable Maruti EV Design and Expected Price
Exclusive EV platform: This new car is not an EV version of any old petrol/diesel car, it is being built on an entirely new dedicated EV platform. This will allow better battery planning and cabin space.
