Despite this setback, the Taiwanese electric scooter manufacturer is seizing the opportunity to collaborate with Rapido, launching a pilot program for bike-taxi services.
Challenges in Government Incentives
Gogoro’s strategy to enter India has faced significant hurdles, particularly related to policy uncertainties that have delayed crucial governmental support mechanisms. These incentives are essential for fostering the growth of electric mobility and making it more appealing for companies like Gogoro.
