Kerala targets EV investments to build automotive tech hub
Kerala is looking for investment in electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing from domestic and international players and attempting to transform the capital Thiruvananthapuram into an automotive technology hub.
Kerala industries minister P Rajeeve said, “In the EV sector sale, Kerala is number one. We have created an ecosystem and a mechanism for e-charging. Now, we are discussing with some companies to start their manufacturing units. Mahindra is coming next week for some discussions. Some other companies are also coming from outside the country.”
The minister was in Chennai on Friday as part of a roadshow ahead of Kerala’s Global Investors Meet in February next year. Noting that large automobile manufacturing factories may not be possible for Kerala, he said, the state can render its support in automotive technology.
