Why train in Chennai?
Tamil Nadu's EV Policy 2019, refreshed in 2023, offers capital subsidies, SGST reimbursement and stamp duty waivers, making the state one of India's most aggressive EV manufacturing destinations.
Chennai hosts Hyundai's Sriperumbudur plant, which builds the Creta Electric, anchoring a large 4W EV supplier ecosystem.
Ola Electric's Futurefactory in the Krishnagiri belt is among the world's largest 2W EV plants and a major employer for trained EV technicians.
