Law Minister P. Rajeeve inaugurated Kerala Development and Innovation Strategic Council’s (K-DISC) newly established resource facilities for electric battery packaging at the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), located in the Technopark campus.
The new facility is designed to boost the indigenous manufacture and use of electric vehicle (EV) components by utilising locally sourced raw materials.
