Citroen, a big car company from France, has started sending its electric car, the E-C3, from India to other countries. This is a big deal because no other big car company in India has done this before.
The first batch of 500 E-C3 cars left India for Indonesia. This is exciting because it shows that Indian-made cars can be sold in other parts of the world.

The safety of the E-C3 was tested by Global NCAP. They found that it didn’t do very well in the safety tests. It got zero stars for keeping adults safe and only one star for keeping kids safe. This means the car needs to be safer.
Global NCAP said the result was very bad and Citroen needs to make the car safer before selling it.
The price of the E-C3 is between Rs 12.70 lakh and Rs 13.50 lakh. That’s not too expensive for an electric car.
The E-C3 has a good battery and can go a long way on one charge. It can also charge pretty quickly, which is good for people who need to drive a lot.

This is a big step for Citroen and for the Indian car industry. We can expect to see more electric cars from India in the future.
