Nexzu
Mobility, a sustainable urban transportation solutions provider, has signed a
Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Gujarat, to develop
India’s first ever Smart EV Park in a move that promises to redefine the

which is expected to generate employment for over 5,000 people. Work on the
project is set to begin next year once land has been allotted to it.
The
Smart EV Park, harnessing all of the promise and potential of the skills and
visionary policies instituted by the Government of Gujarat, will provide a big
boost to the development of the overall EV ecosystem, accelerating adoption of
electric mobility.
It
will act as a hub providing comprehensive solutions for EV companies,
professionals, owners, and users by enabling an ecosystem in a concentrated
area, streamlining the supply chain, enabling cross pollination of ideas,
knowledge and infrastructure sharing.
Commenting
on the signing of the MoU, Atulya Mittal, Founder, Nexzu Mobility said, “We are
excited to redefine the landscape of clean and green mobility by signing this
ambitious MoU. With its focus on clean energy and mobility, high tech
manufacturing and innovation, Gujarat is a fantastic destination for a Smart EV
Park. The establishment of the Park will strengthen the state's standing as an
EV manufacturing hub and support the 'Make-in-India, Make-for-the-World’
initiative in the industry. With its fantastic connectivity, forward thinking
state leadership and pioneering people Gujarat has both the natural and the
human resources to become the high tech manufacturing hub for the new EV Age.”
.
Chintamani Sardesai, Business Head, Nexzu Mobility, said, “This is a
first-of-kind development in the Indian EV ecosystem and has the caliber to
transform the EV landscape in the country. At this hub, we will be providing
support to OEMs manufacturing commercial as well as passenger vehicles across
segments, along with battery manufacturers. The facility will also have
training schools for drivers and mechanics, along with test tracks to help
manufacturers with testing before homologation. The EV city will also act as an
incubation hub for new-age EV start-ups with a high focus on sustainability.”
The
proposed Smart EV Park will be a state-of-the-art industrial park with ready to
move in manufacturing facilities, common testing facilities, common R&D
units, housing, educational and healthcare facilities. It will also include
facilities designed to train professionals on the latest in electronics,
battery manufacturing, powertrains and other EV components. The EV Smart Park
will also support start-up entities who
have a vision and the technology, but lack the infrastructure or mechanical
engineering and operations expertise required to kick start their operations.
