“Just got done with a meeting with the Founder of Ather Energy, Swapnil Jain, and I am glad to share that he informed about their great decision that Ather Energy, the leading electric scooter manufacturer, has chosen Maharashtra for its 3rd manufacturing facility in Aurangabad Industrial City (AURIC),” he said.
The development underscores Maharashtra’s supportive business environment and robust electric vehicle manufacturing policies which align with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision for India’s industrial growth, Fadnavis said. It also shows that Maharashtra is a preferred destination for investments in automotive innovation, and “the Marathwada region will lead Maharashtra’s growth story,” Fadnavis said.
aWith the Samruddhi Expressway providing effective connectivity, investors are increasingly seeing the potential of the region, the deputy CM added. The Shiv Sena-BJP-NCP government in Maharashtra has faced criticism from Opposition for failing to attract investment and allowing some big-ticket projects to go to Gujarat. Assembly elections are due in Maharashtra in October.
