Benling Electric Scooter Updates

Thursday, 14 November 2024 12:08 PM Benling India, along with Hero Electric and Okinawa, faces the possibility of being blacklisted from all government schemes due to non-compliance with the Faster Adoption of Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles (FAME-II) norms. The companies failed to return wrongly claimed benefits and were de-registered from the FAME-II scheme. I believe this could significantly impact their market presence and consumer trust.

Friday, 10 May 2024 09:12 AM Benling Indias manufacturing units have been shut down for over a year due to the financial and operational challenges resulting from the debarment from government schemes. However, the company has been rolling out a few batches of scooters intermittently. I believe this intermittent production is a sign of the companys efforts to stay afloat despite the challenges.

Wednesday, 27 March 2024 02:34 PM Benling India and other electric vehicle manufacturers like Hero Electric and Okinawa have been debarred from government schemes after a probe found them violating FAME-II norms. Benling India laid off over 80% of its permanent employees and lost many dealers due to the financial and operational challenges resulting from these actions. I think this is a significant setback for the companys growth in the Indian market.

Wednesday, 20 March 2024 07:45 AM The Ministry of Heavy Industries (MHI) investigated 13 electric vehicle companies, including Benling India, and found six of them, including Benling, violating the FAME-II norms. Benling India was found to have imported most of its components, contrary to the requirement of at least 50% local manufacturing. This non-compliance has led to severe consequences for the company.

Thursday, 25 January 2024 10:27 PM Benling India has been ordered by the Telangana Consumer Commission to pay Rs 10 lakh in compensation to a consumer whose electric scooters battery exploded. The commission criticized the manufacturer for not investigating the cause of the explosion and neglecting to respond to the consumers complaints. This incident raises concerns about the safety and reliability of Benlings products.

Thursday, 18 August 2022 04:23 PM Benling Indias electric scooters, such as the Benling Aura, Benling Falcon, and Benling Kriti, are priced between Rs 64,151 and Rs 1.22 lakh. These scooters have ranges of up to 80 km per charge and are distributed through 115 dealers in 95 cities across India. I believe the pricing and range make them competitive in the Indian electric two-wheeler market.

Thursday, 18 August 2022 04:34 PM Benling India launched the Benling Believe e-Scooter in India at a price of Rs 97,520. The scooter features impressive specifications and is part of the companys efforts to diversify its product lineup. I think this new launch could attract more customers looking for affordable and feature-rich electric scooters.

Wednesday, 15 June 2022 06:48 AM The Central Government ordered a probe into cases of electric scooters, including those from Benling India, catching fire in various cities. Experts have identified high temperatures and poor battery designs as main reasons for these incidents. This has raised safety concerns among consumers.

Monday, 23 December 2019 09:48 PM The launch of the Benling Aura electric scooter was delayed after its official unveiling at the 11th EV Expo in Delhi. The delay has been attributed to various regulatory and market factors. I think this delay might have given other competitors an edge in the market.

Saturday, 24 August 2019 07:03 AM Benling India outlined its future plans for India, including the launch of new electric scooters and expanding its dealer network. The company aims to increase its market share in the growing Indian electric vehicle sector. I believe their strategic planning could help them regain ground in the market.
