This marks a significant step for India in the global electric vehicle (EV) industry.
Speaking at the event, Kumaraswamy highlighted the importance of this moment, stating, "Ultraviolette’s expansion into Europe showcases India’s potential to compete internationally in the automotive industry." He emphasized that this development is in line with the government's vision to position India as a global leader in EV manufacturing.
The flag-off ceremony, held at Ultraviolette’s manufacturing plant in Bengaluru, was also attended by Karnataka Minister for Industries and Commerce, M B Patil, along with other key company officials. Kumaraswamy further praised Indian startups for driving innovation in electric mobility, reinforcing the country's commitment to becoming a global hub for EV production.
