The Solar2 EV Project, which is a twin initiative with the Maharashtra Government, aims at democratising sustainable energy and transportation solutions. Under this programme, Revfin will serve as the financing partner, dedicated to funding electric vehicles and facilitating the requisite ecosystem for the state's 5 corporations.
