Chennai: As part of its effort to build an EV hub to complement the internal combustion engine (ICE) auto hub in Tamil Nadu, the state government is in the process of developing specific connected and integrated locations for both the domestic and export markets.

Speaking at a CII panel discussion on electric mobility, Ambrin Moinuddin, VP economic analysis & policy, Guidance Tamil Nadu said that the government is looking at building “alternative competitive locations for EV ecosystem which essentially translates to the fact that destinations like Krishnagiri (Hosur), Manallur (Chennai), Coimbatore will transform into integrated manufacturing and technology hubs linked with export gateways.”

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. “The government is working on ways to set up charging stations with the active participation of our discom — Tangedco — and private players,” she added.

Recently the ministry of heavy industries has sanctioned 651 charging stations for Tamil Nadu under FAME II. That apart, the road tax waiver for EVs and a revised EV policy will attract EV investments into the state.
