India’s first state-negotiated EV discount rolled out in Telangana

Telangana rolled out state-negotiated discounts of up to 20% on electric two-and four-wheelers for its 5 lakh employees, securing savings of up to ₹4 lakh per family. Partnering with leading EV makers, the scheme without subsidies leverages bulk institutional negotiation.
