Electric‑vehicle maker Ultraviolette plans to commission a Rs 779 crore manufacturing unit in Tamil Nadu within the next six to eight months, according to reports.
Ultraviolette, a home‑grown electric‑vehicle manufacturer, has announced its intention to set up a new production facility in Tamil Nadu. The plant is projected to involve an investment of roughly Rs 779 crore.
The company expects the factory to become operational within six to eight months from the start of construction, signalling a rapid rollout compared with typical large‑scale projects.
Industry observers note that the investment could bolster India's EV ecosystem by adding capacity for locally assembled vehicles, potentially creating a sizable number of jobs and supporting the government's push for greener mobility.
The timeline aligns with recent policy incentives offered by the Tamil Nadu government to attract high‑tech manufacturing, though specific details about the plant’s location or production capacity have not been disclosed.
If the schedule is met, Ultraviolette’s new unit would join a growing list of domestic EV players expanding their manufacturing footprint across the country.
