The market share of EVs is increasing at a steady pace in India and surely has a promising future. As of now, we have some very good EVs in the market, from the affordable segment to luxury electric vehicles. Although these electric vehicles have a lot of advantages such as low running costs, environment friendly, less maintenance and more, these battery-powered vehicles are on the costlier side and cost way more than ICE cars. Tata Motors has the most affordable range of EVs in the country like Nexon EV, Tigor EV and the recently launched Tiago EV.

The Tiago EV all-electric hatchback is the most affordable EV in India with price ranging from Rs. 8.49 lakh to Rs11.79 lakh (ex-showroom). Apart from this, MG City EV and Citroen C3-based EV are some of the upcoming affordable EVs, which are expected to launch in the coming months. Setting aside these well-known mass-market car manufacturers, several small-scale enterprises are working in the electric vehicle space with the goal of introducing battery powered two and four wheelers at an affordable price tag. So today, we have come across one such manufacturer named Green Masters, and let’s have a look at their affordable electric car.
