Recently, there have been widespread incidents of electric two-wheelers catching fire in various parts of the country forcing manufacturers to recall their vehicles.
Okinawa Autotech had recalled over 3,000 units, while PureEV did a similar exercise for around 2,000 units.
The fire incidents had prompted the government to form a panel to examine and had warned companies of penalties if they were found to be negligent.
