The e-C3 will first be launched for the fleet segment and subsequently introduced for the personal buyers, said Roland Bouchara, chief executive officer and managing director, Stellantis India. "We are going to launch the eC3 by the beginning of next year. We will make a start with the business to-business segment and subsequently launch it in the business-to-consumer segment," Bouchara told Business Standard.

The firm has chosen to enter the EV market for an offering for the commercial segment as there is very strong demand in the segment and hardly any competition. PeugeotCitroën Automobile (part of Stellantis) is one among several automotive firms that was shortlisted for the production linked incentive scheme.
