Matter partners with Flipkart for pre-bookings of Aera EV
Ahemdabad-based two-wheeler EV start-up Matter has partnered up with e-commerce major Flipkart to retail its new offering the Aera EV. With this, customers will be able to pre-book and purchase the Matter Aera electric bike via Flipkart. Plus, they can also benefit from special introductory offers available upon pre-booking on Flipkart. Notably, Matter launched the Aera EV in April with prices starting at Rs 1,43,999 (ex-showroom, includes FAME-2 subsidy).
