Rajesh Jejurikar On The Big Shift Towards Electric Mobility

There’s a huge amount of optimism right now in the way the industry is looking at the future, Rajesh Jejurikar, Executive Director, Auto, and Farm Sectors, Mahindra Group said in an exclusive chat with Siddharth Zarabi, Managing Editor, Business Today TV.  Jejurikar, who recently launched the all-electric XUV400, too, is bullish about India’s EV transition. “That’s our first entry into the electric SUV segment. We’re pretty bullish about it. Most exciting for us is the acceleration which is 0-100 in 8 seconds. In the next 3-5 years in the SUV segment, we will start seeing quite a significant shift towards electric. By 2027, our estimate is between 20-30 percent of our SUV volumes will be electric for our portfolio,” he said.
