He informed that the state government is focusing more on eco-friendly technologies. “With the TN government’s focus on eco-friendly technologies, EV vehicles are going to be of extreme importance in the future. Our EV policy is drawn in order to facilitate multi-fold increase in production and infrastructure development of electric vehicles,” he shared during the inauguration.
