Telangana is positioning itself as a hub for electric‑vehicle (EV) manufacturing and related industries, with the state’s Director of Industries, Nikhil Chakravarthi, outlining targeted incentives to attract EV makers, battery suppliers and allied businesses. The government is keen to draw companies that wish to relocate to the state, leveraging Telangana’s industrial strengths and improving the ease of doing business.
Chakravarthi spoke at ASSOCHAM’s MobilityNext 2047 conference, a gathering of government officials, industry leaders and academics focused on greener mobility. The event served as a platform to discuss the steps required to accelerate EV adoption and the ecosystem needed to support it. He highlighted Telangana’s commitment to investing across the automotive value chain, including manufacturing, battery production and charging infrastructure.
The upcoming Telangana Global Summit will introduce “Industrial Policy 2.0,” featuring ten new generation policies aimed at boosting sectors such as semiconductors, logistics and electronics. These measures are designed to create a comprehensive framework that supports the next phase of mobility while fostering innovation and growth within the state.
ASSOCHAM co‑chair Rambabu Boorugu emphasized the necessity of an integrated ecosystem that brings together vehicle manufacturing, battery technology, charging infrastructure, public transport and recycling. Harsh Vardhan, chair of ASSOCHAM, called for collaboration among industry, academia and startups to develop indigenous capabilities in artificial intelligence, robotics and digital technologies for the mobility sector.
