A Majority of e-Vitara Units Are Earmarked for Export

A few months ago, the company said that about 50% of the units manufactured at the Gujarat plant would be reserved for exports, but it now appears that the portion has been revised.

The news comes as a disappointment for prospective buyers, especially those who’ve already booked the vehicle by submitting a token of Rs. 25,000. Since the e-Vitara is delayed, Toyota’s Urban Cruiser EV is expected to arrive at a later date.
