Going into details, leading sports vehicle brand Lamborghini has decided to set up an electric vehicle manufacturing unit in the state. Pune-based Kinetic Green has submitted proposals to set up a premium brand electric vehicle manufacturing unit in the state for use in golf and other sports. The Kinetic Green Board has approved the setting up of an electric vehicle manufacturing unit, battery charging stations, charging swapping and R&D units in the state with an investment of about Rs 1,750 crore.

Kinetic Green has submitted proposals to the state government to set up a unit on an area of ​​about 50 acres in the port-based SEZ area. Nellore, Chittoor and Visakhapatnam districts are in the race as the port is based in the respective districts. There is a discussion that Nellore and Chittoor districts have a chance in the situation. The unit will be set up to export Lamborghini vehicles as well as vehicles under the Kinetic Green brand name in addition to local requirements.

In the next ten years, 5 lakh electric vehicles will be sold in the state alone.
