Chinese automotive brands have understood that the Indian automotive markets markets have immense potential. China owned MG Motor has tasted a lot of success in the country, and other big players want a piece of the action.

Also, if Great Wall Motors is able to price the ORA R1 between Rs 6.0 lakh and Rs 9.0 lakh in India, the Chinese made all-electric car will do very well. Pricing is a big factor that keeps people away from electric vehicles at the moment, and the ORA R1 could be a possible solution.
