BYD's planned ₹85,000 crore investment is one of the largest foreign direct investments in India's EV sector.

Chinese electric vehicle (EV) giant BYD is set to make a substantial investment of ₹85,000 crore ($10 billion) to establish a major manufacturing facility in Hyderabad, Telangana, according to recent reports. This move signals a significant expansion of BYD's presence in the burgeoning Indian EV market.

Key highlights of the proposed project include:

  • Large-Scale Investment: BYD's planned ₹85,000 crore investment is one of the largest foreign direct investments in India's EV sector.
  • Manufacturing Focus: The facility will concentrate on producing electric vehicles, batteries, and related components.
  • Production Capacity: The plant is expected to have a capacity to manufacture 600,000 electric vehicles annually by 2032, along with a 20 GWh battery production unit.
  • Location: The facility is planned to be established on 500 acres of land in Hyderabad, Telangana.
  • Economic Impact: The project is anticipated to create numerous jobs and stimulate the local economy.
  • Government Support: The Telangana government's proactive EV policies, including exemptions from road tax and registration fees, have played a role in attracting this investment.

This development aligns with India's broader push towards electric mobility and its goal of reducing reliance on fossil fuels. BYD's move is expected to intensify competition in the Indian EV market, potentially leading to more affordable electric vehicles for consumers.
