Gogoro Inc. signed a deal with Belrise Industries Ltd. to build battery-swapping stations for two-wheelers across western India’s Maharashtra state, where the Taiwanese firm and its local partner will invest $2.5 billion over the next eight years to spur adoption of electric vehicles.

The two companies have a non-binding memorandum of understanding for a 50:50 partnership to boost energy infrastructure across the Indian state, according to a statement Tuesday from Nasdaq-listed Gogoro, which is based in Taipei City.
