signed an MoU with C4V, a US-based battery technology leader,
to co-develop advanced, climate-optimized lithium-ion battery
cells, supporting the ''Make in India'' initiative and boosting EV
performance. In international markets, Wardwizard received
a Letter of Intent from His Royal Highness Prince Abdulaziz Bin

Wardwizard will supply electric two-wheelers and three-
wheelers from its existing portfolio and develop electric four-
