- Expand EV dealership coverage, charging/service capability and technician training in high-density urban markets.
- Use rising EV volumes to negotiate battery, electronics and component procurement savings while protecting contribution margins.
- Increase finance, exchange and subscription offers to convert first-time EV buyers and reduce upfront-price barriers.
- Prioritize export markets and three-wheeler distribution where growth is outpacing the domestic base.
- Monitor dealer inventory days closely and calibrate wholesale shipments to retail-registration trends.
