"This plant will be a major step toward realising Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Make in India vision," Sharma said. "It will help Rajasthan emerge as a key hub for electric vehicle manufacturing, while creating direct and indirect job opportunities for youth." He added that the state government is committed to promoting green energy and sustainable urban transport, and the upcoming facility will accelerate the growth of the electric mobility sector in Rajasthan.
