SRIVARU (SVMH) Secures Approval from India’s Road Transport Authority for PRANA 2.0, Achieving Final Federal Technical Compliance: Paving the Way for Customer Deliveries

GRAND CAYMAN, Caman Islands, Sept. 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SRIVARU Holding Limited (Nasdaq: SVMH, SVMHW) (“SRIVARU” or the “Company”), a manufacturer of premium electric motorcycles, announced today that it has successfully obtained certification from India’s Central Motor Vehicles Rules (CMVR) agency for PRANA 2.0 models, which include the PRANA Grand and PRANA Elite. This regulatory approval marks a significant achievement in SRIVARU’s mission to deliver innovative, eco-friendly transportation solutions to the rapidly expanding electric two-wheel vehicle market in India.

The certification of PRANA 2.0, high-speed electric motorcycles, under India’s updated CMVR is a landmark achievement for the Company. The newly updated CMVR standards have stringent requirement for vehicle safety, battery efficiency, and long-term durability, making certification a rigorous process. SRIVARU’s successful navigation of the updated CMVR underscores the Company’s technical expertise and unwavering commitment to executing its vision of delivering high-quality, innovative electric vehicles.

The CMVR certification process involved extensive testing, from battery safety protocols to environmental impact assessments, ensuring PRANA 2.0 meets the highest standards in the industry. This accomplishment reflects the Company’s dedication to consumer safety, vehicle performance, and sustainability.

The PRANA 2.0 series, featuring the Grand and Elite models, is designed to offer a superior riding experience with state-of-the-art technology, impressive range, and high-performance capabilities. Built for urban commuters and eco-conscious riders, PRANA 2.0 motorcycles boast a sleek design, advanced safety features, and powerful electric drivetrains, setting a new benchmark in the premium electric motorcycle segment. With an impressive range of 250 kilometers per charge and the capability to accelerate from 0 to 60 km/h in under 4 seconds, the PRANA 2.0 is both the fastest and most efficient electric motorcycle in its class available in India today.

Moreover, the CMVR certification opens the door to significant market opportunities. The electric vehicle (EV) market in India is experiencing rapid expansion, particularly in the premium yet affordable segment, which has witnessed over 23% year-over-year growth. By meeting the stringent requirements of the CMVR, our PRANA 2.0 series are now well-positioned to tap into this growing demand, offering a product that appeals to both eco-conscious and value-driven consumers.

The CMVR certification serves as a federal approval and marks the final step in obtaining technical clearance from the Indian Road Transport Authority. This certification confirms the Company’s adherence to India’s latest safety, performance, and environmental standards, positioning SRIVARU to capitalize on the growing demand for electric vehicles (EVs) in the country, which is one of the largest two-wheeler markets in the world.
