Govt subsidy may rev up Reva sales
Mahindra Reva Electric Vehicle (MREV), maker of electric cars, is moving into the fast lane with government incentives, wider distribution network and institutional sales picking up.
Chetan Maini, chief of strategy and technology, MREV, said the company expects annual vehicle sales to jump to 5,000 units next year. Maini, who set up the Reva electric car in 1994, said the company has sold 4,000 vehicles globally till now.
“We are seeing a surge in demand for electric cars after the announcement of the government policy (that offers a 20% subsidy on electric cars). Next year, our target is (to sell) 5,000 cars,” he said.
In November last year, the government came out with a policy that offers a 20% subsidy on the price of 140 electric cars for the current fiscal. The subsidy budget will be increased to cover 700 cars next fiscal.
The government’s financial incentive has brought down the price of MREV’s non-AC electric car by Rs75,000 per car to Rs3.2 lakh from Rs4 lakh. For the AC car, it is down to Rs3.7 lakh from Rs4.5 lakh.
The company is also banking on institutional sales to push up its sales volumes. On Wednesday, SAP Labs announced its green car policy in collaboration with MREV which could result in sales of close to 35 cars in the next few months.

How the electric bike market in India will improve?
India has a large business in cycles and petrol bikes. Electric bikes come under middle segment and India is seen as future hub for electric vehicles business. Market is expected to rise by 100% this year and then 200% in the consequent years. But in order to realize this trend, we need to collectively work on the following points.
1. Strict adherence to the quality practices and should meet the automotive standards. Customer should be happy to buy using his hard earned money.
2. Entrepreneurs should take up the projects to manufacture e-bike components i.e. Battery, motors, controllers, chargers, converters, wire harness, chassis etc.
3. Best after sales service will attract the end user. Spare parts should be available easily.
4. Government should give subsidy to EV companies.

Yamaha mulls electric 2-wheeler for India; 2 new bikes in 2011
New Delhi, Mar 6 (PTI) Japanese auto giant Yamaha today said it might consider launching an electric bike in the fast growing Indian two-wheeler market to offer an alternative mode transportation.
The company''s wholly-owned subsidiary, India Yamaha Motor, is also developing an India-specific scooter that will hit the roads in the "near future". Besides, it will launch two new bikes in the country in this year.
"For rising fuel prices, electric bike is a good option.
Currently we are selling electric bikes in Japan and Europe.
There is a possibility for the Indian market for introducing these products," India Yamaha Motor Director (Sales and Marketing) Jun Nakata told PTI.
He, however, did not share details like specifications and when the firm was likely to launch the products in India.
Last year, the company had said it would focus more on India with more investments and aimed to have 10 per cent of its total global sales from the country within the next 3-4 years.
When asked about its plans for the scooter segment, Nakata said: "We are preparing to enter the scooter market.
The product is under development in Japan and it will be an India-specific product."

Duty Concession on electric battery imports to boost e-bikes
This year's Union Budget is likely to pump in some steam into the sales of electric bikes in the country that use imported batteries to power them.
The country does not have an indigenous manufacturer of electric batteries now, and they are mostly imported from China. Sohinder Gill, chief executive officer of Hero Electric said, "Currently,there is no indigenous manufacturer of electric batteries in the country. All batteries are imported.
Reading out the Union Budget of 2011-12, finance minister Pranab Mukherjee said that the full exemption from basic customs duty and a concessional rate of central excise duty of 4 per cent for specified parts of electric vehicles that was announced in the last budget would be extended to batteries imported by manufacturers.
This would result in a reduction of around Rs 1500 in the cost of an electric battery that now costs around Rs 6500. A consumer needs to replace the battery of his bike once a year. As Gill explains, reduction in battery cost is equivalent to reduction in fuel cost for an electric vehicle. "At the current rate of 22 per cent import duty, manufacturers can pass on the benefit to the consumers and reduce the cost of the battery."

Flexible Electronics is the Winner
The silicon chip took over forty years to approach a $300 billion business today. Now there is a new form of electronics that will hit that figure in half the time because, unlike the silicon chip, it subsumes electrics such as lighting, batteries, solar cells and heaters, not just electronics. It is usually achieved by printing and its most vital characteristic is physical flexibility. Take that as meaning a variety of capabilities valued in the marketplace such as foldability, conformance to architectural features, stretchability and even the ability to be tightly rolled, worn, washed and waterproof. Some forms survive being hammered and even stabbed so, in the main, we are talking of putting electrics and electronics where they could never go before. Another aspect is biodegradability where needed, even printing electronics onto paper. Multilayer structures are increasingly possible, reducing the number of interconnects and the area needed and increasing reliability.
The world's largest event exploring this new world and what comes next is the IDTechEx Printed Electronics & Photovoltaics Europe 2011 taking place in Düsseldorf 5-6 April. The presentations give a guide as to the most vital aspects being brought to market. For example, mobile phone company Nokia will talk about its work on stretchable electronics, something more usually related to healthcare products. The Samsung speaker Dr Bonwon Koo refer to customers wanting to carry something small that give wide area viewing and how its record breaking flexible polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) displays are one route to that market need. They are driven by ink jet printed transistor backplanes.
