Hinduja Group announces a ₹2,500 crore expansion in Tamil Nadu, targeting renewable energy, electric mobility, and digital transport, amid a broader push into the state’s sustainable infrastructure.
Hinduja Group has said it will invest ₹2,500 crore in Tamil Nadu as it widens its presence across renewable power, electric mobility, automotive services, finance, charging infrastructure and digital transport solutions. The announcement builds on a broader industrial push in the state, where the conglomerate already has businesses spanning commercial vehicles, lubricants, lending, housing finance, mobility and technology, according to Business Standard.
A key part of the plan is more than 200 MW of renewable energy projects under Hinduja Renewables Energy Private Limited, covering solar, wind and battery technologies. The company said it would seek land and grid connectivity support in areas including Tirunelveli, Thoothukudi, Virudhunagar, Madurai and Coimbatore. In parallel, OHM Global Mobility is set to deploy electric buses for public transport, underscoring the group’s intention to link clean power generation with transport decarbonisation, Business Standard reported.
The latest announcement comes after the group signed a ₹7,500 crore memorandum of understanding with the Tamil Nadu government in September 2025 for investment in the state’s EV ecosystem. That earlier plan, highlighted by The Economic Times, centred on battery and cell manufacturing, battery energy storage systems and charging infrastructure, and was presented by Chief Minister M.K. Stalin as a way to strengthen the local EV supply chain and create more than 1,000 jobs.
Implementation has already begun in parts of the programme. In March 2026, Ashok Leyland started work on a ₹500 crore greenfield battery pack manufacturing facility at Pillaipakkam near Chennai, according to PV Magazine India. More recently, Hinduja Renewables has also been expanding beyond Tamil Nadu, with The Economic Times reporting in December 2026 that the company plans to lift its renewable capacity to 10 GW from 3 GW through a roughly $4 billion investment focused on wind, hybrid power and storage.
