Hinduja Group Announces ₹2,500-Crore Tamil Nadu Investment For Renewable Energy
A big group of companies called Hinduja has decided to spend a very large amount of money — ₹2,500 crore — in a state of India called Tamil Nadu.
The group wants to use that money to make clean energy, like power from the sun and the wind.
It also wants to make electric buses that run on batteries instead of dirty fuel.
These buses will help people travel around Tamil Nadu without polluting the air.
The money will also support things like battery charging stations, cars, and digital ways to book and manage rides.
A leader of the group, Ashok Hinduja, said they believe Tamil Nadu is a great place for this work.
He said Tamil Nadu has a strong industrial base, talented people, and lots of renewable energy potential.
The group already has several businesses in Tamil Nadu, including Ashok Leyland and Gulf Oil.
Hinduja Group announced a ₹2,500 crore investment plan for Tamil Nadu across its businesses.
The investment will cover renewable energy, electric mobility, automotive, financial services, energy, battery charging infrastructure and digital mobility solutions.
Hinduja Renewables Energy Pvt Ltd (HREPL) will develop over 200 MW of renewable energy projects spanning solar, wind and battery technologies.
OHM Global Mobility Ltd will operationalise electric buses for public transport in Tamil Nadu and expand its mobility solutions value chain.
Group Chairman Ashok Hinduja said the commitment reflects confidence in Tamil Nadu and its potential to lead India's energy and mobility transition.
The group's existing businesses in Tamil Nadu include Ashok Leyland, Gulf Oil India, Hinduja Leyland Finance, Hinduja Housing Finance, Switch Mobility, Ohm Mobility, Gro Digital and Hinduja Tech.
