UP is set to establish state-of-the-art EV Park in Kanpur, strategically located along the dedicated freight corridor to capitalise on pan-India EV demand. With an investment of over Rs 700 crore under the PPP model, this 500-acre project will be spearheaded by UPSIDA as part of the Kanpur Metropolitan Development Vision 2030.
Officials concerned said the proposed EV park will strengthen local supply chain and promote indigenous manufacturing under ‘Make in UP‘ and ‘Made in UP’ ecosystem.
“EV Park aims to position Kanpur as an EV manufacturing hub and boost the state’s trillion-dollar economy goal. An integrated EV components cluster is also being developed to promote the small and medium enterprises,” officials said, adding that EV Park will be symbol of industrial innovation, thus positioning Kanpur on global electric vehicle manufacturing map.
It will comprise manufacturing units for electric motors, chassis, steel parts and lithium-ion cells, apart from plants for assembling lithium-ion batteries, chargers, controllers and electronic components.
