NEW DELHI -- In India, the world's largest market for motorcycles and scooters, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government is calling for most new bikes to be electric by 2025, to the chagrin of manufacturers.
As the government considers full electrification of motorcycles with engines smaller than 150 cc to curb pollution, top manufacturers and industry groups have objected, calling the deadline unrealistic and arguing that the industry, and millions who depend on it, will be hurt.
