Ultraviolette plans ₹779 crore Tamil Nadu plant as EV demand surges
Ultraviolette Automotive will invest ₹779 crore in a new plant at Hosur, Tamil Nadu to make electric two-wheelers. It starts at 250,000 units a year and can scale to 500,000, next to its Bengaluru site that makes 50,000. Suppliers, dealers and component makers in the region will feel this. If you serve this sector, review your capacity plans early.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Ultraviolette Automotive plans to invest ₹779 crore over five years in a new Hosur plant, funded mainly through internal reserves, equity and future cash flows with limited debt.
- The Hosur facility will start with an annual capacity of 250,000 electric two-wheelers and can be expanded to 500,000 units, adding to its existing Bengaluru plant that can make up to 50,000 units.
- Electric two-wheeler sales in India topped 1.03 million units in the first eight months of 2026, helped by concerns over older petrol vehicles running on E20 fuel.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If your business supplies parts, services or dealership support to two-wheeler makers, it may be worth reviewing your capacity and pricing plans, since a plant of this size takes years to come up. Check the actual timelines with the company or your buyer before you commit money.
