The company has also expanded its operations to include prominent names in the electric vehicle (EV) sector, including TVS Motor, Ather, Hero Motocop, Greaves, Bajaj Auto, and Revolt. With 15 manufacturing facilities strategically located near OEM customers across five states in India, ASK Automotive has further strengthened its foothold in the growing EV market.
