Bharat Alt Fuel, which focuses on alternative fuel technology and e-mobility, will establish a greenfield facility in Tamil Nadu at an investment of $250 crore to produce electric cars, batteries, and motors. In Krishnagiri, some 300 kilometres away, a 40,000 square metre integrated factory was planned to start producing in the second half of 2023.
“BAF aspires to be a catalyst for change wherever it is needed, so it makes perfect sense that we are bringing electric two-wheelers to one of the world’s largest vehicle markets. Our new factory will be making all the critical components, including batteries and motors.”
“Establishing a global manufacturing footprint is a practical, natural step and enables us to grow our brand, scale our business, and address climate change through inspiring sustainable transportation,” its executive director Sorubh Kumar Bharti said.
