The company has received certificate of eligibility from Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI), the prime Testing and Certification Agency notified by Government of India for its Lithium-ion products – Okinawa I-Praise and Okinawa Ridge+.
“With eligibility under Fame-II, our customers will be able to enjoy standard subsidy depending upon the model battery kwh. For Okinawa Ridge+ & i-Praise the subsidy would be between Rs 17000 – Rs 26000 based on kwh. We are confident that this will motivate more environment conscious customers to become a part of the Okinawa family to enjoy not only the benefits of e-scooters but also the advanced features offered in the Okinawa range,” said Jeetender Sharma, Founder & Managing Director, Okinawa Autotech Pvt.
