Imphal, Oct 10:
Green East Electric Vehicle authorised dealer of Aponyx Labs Pvt Ltd was launched today at Kha Naorem Leikai, Canchipur. The launching event was attended by Konthoujam Govindas, Minister YAS, and PWD.
While speaking at the launch event, Konthoujam Govindas said, “Climate change is now becoming a stark reality in Manipur too. Even when we are in the middle of October, the temperature has not yet come down. E-Vehicles are more eco-friendly and don’t impact the environment, unlike other vehicles run by fossil fuels.”
A press release of Green East Electric Vehicle said, “The setting up of Green East E- Vehicles company in Manipur came with the idea of manufacturing electric scooters in Manipur and exporting to other places, including Myanmar. The present petrol and diesel vehicles would sooner or later get phased out because of noise and air pollution and also increase in fuel prices hence, the future lies in electric vehicles. When we surveyed the market we found that Aponyx company will be able to help us in manufacturing these vehicles in Manipur. In fact this company is one of the oldest companies in the electric vehicle segment, which was manufacturing for a number of renowned brands. Now that we have set up Green East E- Vehicles, we are trying to find out public response and acceptance of our brand of electric vehicles and accordingly move to the next phase of assembling and manufacturing the same in Manipur. We plan to initially send it to the neighboring northeastern states and also West Bengal. The completion of the railway line will enable us to start the reverse flow of major manufactured goods to other parts of the country. We also intend to target other South East Asian countries. As of today, most of our goods going to other places are Agro-industry based hence, if we succeed in manufacturing electric scooters here and exporting to other places this will be a landmark achievement for the state of Manipur. This will generate a great employment opportunity for the people of Manipur and also generate tremendous revenue for the state.”
To promote our products amongst the lower middle class and low-income groups, we have drastically reduced the price, and we are giving a festival discount of up to Rs.10,000/- so that it becomes affordable even for families belonging to the low-income groups, it added.
