Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday unveiled Maruti Suzuki’s electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing facility in Hansalpur, Gujarat, and launched the company’s first battery electric vehicle, the e-VITARA. The move is seen as a significant step in advancing India’s ambitions for self-reliance and leadership in green mobility.
“Today is a special day in India’s quest for self-reliance and being a hub for green mobility. At the programme in Hansalpur, e-VITARA will be flagged off. This Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) is made in India and will be exported to over a hundred nations,” Prime Minister Modi said during the launch ceremony.
The e-VITARA marks Maruti Suzuki’s entry into the battery electric segment and is designed not only for the domestic market but also for global consumers, with plans to ship the model to more than 100 countries.
