A joint venture with Hyderabad-based Pure EV was made to manufacture lithium-ion batteries needed for all the electric vehicles, he added. The data says the company will manufacture 1,000 EVs a month and increase it to 3,000 vehicles, once the dealers are appointed across South India, Gunaekaran said.
