Going forward, all high-speed products from Hero Electric will also be eligible for FAME II benefits and coupled with the lowered GST rates, will make Hero Electric products more attractive and affordable for the customers.

I am confident that customers will appreciate these additions alongside the FAME II benefits that have made our range even more affordable.”
