He emphasized Maharashtra’s conducive business environment and robust policies that support innovation in the automotive sector.
The new facility’s location in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Marathwada, showcases the region’s growing significance as a preferred destination for automotive investments.
Enhanced connectivity through projects like the Samruddhi Expressway further solidifies the area’s appeal to investors.
This landmark investment not only strengthens Maharashtra’s position in the electric mobility revolution but also promises to bolster economic growth and sustainable mobility solutions across the state.
