Suzuki Motor Corp will enter the electric vehicle (EV) market by 2025 starting in its stronghold market India.
The automaker plans an all-electric compact model to be made available for around 1.5 million yen ($13,626) after government subsidies are taken into account, the Nikkei said.
"We have been saying that we will enter EV and strong hybrid cars in India by 2025," a Suzuki spokesperson said but added that the company has not announced any price or whether it will launch EVs in India first.
