Okinawa is India’s largest electric two-wheeler maker with a market share of more than 40%.
The electric vehicle policy includes the vehicle end-to-end, with the battery, and takes up over 30% of the vehicle expense.

Ghosh noted: “This partnership reflects our strategic focus on the electric vehicle market in the country.
“We believe the progressive transition to electric vehicles is integral to the India’s journey towards eco-friendly transportation and as a new digital insurer, we are excited to be part of this emerging technology driven mobility ecosystem.”
