He emphasised that the new state-of-the-art plant, to be located in Aurangabad Industrial City (AURIC), underscores Maharashtra’s supportive business environment and robust policies for electric vehicle manufacturing.
The selection of Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad) for this mega investment is a “testament” that this region of Marathwada will now lead Maharashtra’s growth story, he stressed.
Speaking about the location, Fadnavis emphasised, “This investment and Ather’s selection of Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar is a testament to the fact that this region in Marathwada will now lead Maharashtra’s growth story. With effective connectivity via the Samruddhi Expressway, investors are increasingly seeing the potential of this region.”
The new facility is expected to have an economic impact, not only boosting Maharashtra’s leadership in the electric mobility revolution but also creating ample employment opportunities across the state.
Once operational, the plant will have the capacity to annually produce up to a million units of vehicles and battery packs, contributing substantially to India’s sustainable mobility solutions.
