Hero Electric, Mahindra Electric Mobility and Kinetic Green Energy and Power Solutions are among firms in talks with Convergence Energy Services Ltd (CESL) for supplying electric two and three-wheelers as part of India’s biggest-ever push for green mobility, said two people aware of the development.

These vehicles are part of CESL’s plan to procure a total of 200,000 two-wheeled electric vehicles (EVs) and 300,000 three-wheeled EVs across India under a new scheme.

The company, a unit of Energy Efficiency Services Ltd (EESL), on Saturday agreed to procure more than 30,000 electric two- and three-wheelers for Goa and Kerala.
