New Delhi: There was a time when a car used to be the status symbol in Indian society, but as time changes, income increases, and the living standard of people changes, now there are two or more cars in many households because of which owning a car is not a very big thing nowadays. However, society’s perception is going to change in the near future, and this time electric vehicles such as electric scooters, electric motorcycles and electric cars will play a big role in that.
The future indeed belongs to electric vehicles and a person or a family that owns an electric vehicle will be seen in a good light by others as they will be using a new and highly technology-advanced vehicle. Moreover, it will imply that the family is very much conscious about the environment and is doing its bit by driving a vehicle that doesn’t pollute the environment.
Thunderbolt, an electric vehicle manufacturer in India, is powered by a BSE-listed company Mercury Metals Limited. Thunderbolt was a dream seen by its founder Jayesh Thakkar who has a vast 20 years of experience in entrepreneurship as he is associated with various businesses.
The visionary entrepreneur from Gujarat, Jayesh Thakkar, saw this dream because he was concerned about the hazards of increasing pollution in our lives and he wanted to do something to save the environment and make this world a better place to live for future generations. Jayesh Thakkar strongly believes that sales of electric vehicles will break all the records in 2023 and will be a revolutionary year for the electric vehicle sector.
Jayesh Thakkar converted his dream into reality with the help of his highly qualified and dedicated team, and today, he can proudly say that his company has led the country when it comes to the manufacturing of Electric Scooter (low speed & high Speed), ICAT approved auto-rickshaw, auto rickshaw-loader, vintage designed cars, etc. What has helped Jayesh Thakkar and Thunderbolt in capturing the biggest share in this market, in fact in creating a monopoly, is the fact that all the spare parts are also manufactured by them only.
In addition, Thunderbolt has also earned a big name among the electric vehicle manufacturers in India as it has developed custom electric vehicles for various applications for various industries and sectors such as hospitality, industry, golf courses, club and resorts etc. Other than this, it also manufactures EV Chasis, EV Controller, EV Motor, LFP Battery and EV Rickshaw Brake Shoe.
Jayesh Thakkar and his team at Thunderbolt have some great plans they are implementing at their Mega EV Complex situated at Vadodara, spread in a stretch of 20 acres and is being built with an investment of more than Rs. 500 crores. This complex will comprise of manufacturing facility along with Charging Station with Cafe, CED Coating and Painting Unit, Vehicle Assembly, Battery Manufacturing Factory, EV Power train Facility, etc. Thunderbolt is planning to launch electric cars in the near future as the firm doesn’t want to miss the opportunity to serve the customers of a very huge market with a cost-effective and good quality option.
The electric vehicle segment is all set to grow at a fast pace with the help of incentives and subsidies being offered by the government for both manufacturers and customers.
The Indian government wants to promote electric vehicles in a big manner. For this purpose, it is also giving electric car subsidies and subsidies on the batteries used in cars. The subsidies on electric scooters are pretty good, too so it won’t be a surprise if, shortly, we get to see Indian roads filled with electric vehicles manufactured by Thunderbolt.
