As part of its effort to build an EV hub to complement the internal combustion engine (ICE) auto hub in Nadu, the State Government is in the process of developing specific connected and integrated locations for both the domestic and export markets.
Tamil Nadu accounts for 10.3% of electric vehicles sold in India right now up from 6.4% in 2019. In 2021, nearly 3% of the vehicles registered in TN were EVs and by 2030 this number is projected to go over 30% of the fleet in the state, said Moinuddin. To allow the ICE to EV transition, the state government is building charging Infrastructure which is one of the biggest constraints in the move towards EV from ICEs.
Tamil Nadu has already emerged as the EV hub of the country which is evidenced by the Investment commitment and interest of nearly Rs 20,000 crore with a potential of generating over 52,000 jobs across segments of the value chain in EV, EV components, EV battery, technology R&D, EV chargers and charging Services.
