In a major boost to India’s electric mobility ambitions, the Hinduja Group announced plans to invest Rs 7,500 crore in Tamil Nadu’s electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem. The announcement was made in the presence of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, who welcomed the initiative as a transformative step for the state’s green mobility landscape.
The investment will focus on developing EV manufacturing facilities, supporting component suppliers, establishing state-of-the-art battery and charging infrastructure, and promoting research and development in sustainable mobility solutions. The project is expected to generate thousands of direct and indirect employment opportunities, further cementing Tamil Nadu’s position as a leading EV hub in India.
Chief Minister M.K. Stalin stated,
“This investment by the Hinduja Group marks a significant milestone in Tamil Nadu’s journey towards a clean and sustainable future. The state is committed to supporting EV manufacturing and allied industries, creating opportunities for both businesses and skilled professionals.”
The Hinduja Group’s strategic initiative aligns with the government’s push for accelerated adoption of electric vehicles across India, aiming to reduce carbon emissions, foster innovation in EV technology, and strengthen domestic manufacturing. With Tamil Nadu already emerging as a preferred destination for EV makers due to its robust industrial ecosystem and policy support, this investment is poised to further drive the state’s leadership in clean mobility.
Speaking on the investment, a Hinduja Group spokesperson said,
“We are committed to contributing to India’s sustainable mobility vision. Our Rs 7,500 crore investment in Tamil Nadu will not only expand our EV capabilities but also support the creation of a resilient ecosystem for electric vehicles in India.”
The project is expected to roll out in multiple phases, including setting up manufacturing plants, R&D centers, and EV charging networks, with significant milestones anticipated over the next five years. Industry experts believe that this development will catalyse a broader adoption of EVs across the region and encourage further investments from both domestic and global players.
