K Manik Rao, MLA, Zaheerabad Constituency, and Jayesh Ranjan, IAS - Principal Secretary, Industries & Commerce and IT, Government of Telangana, were also present.

"Congratulations to M&M on the official opening of their new facility. I am confident that this facility will help to create jobs and preserve livelihoods. EVs are a priority for the Telangana government, and we are committed to developing the necessary infrastructure and ecosystem for EV promotion and adoption," said K T Rama Rao.

M&M's Last Mile Mobility (LMM) division is in charge of the company's mix of electric, gasoline, compressed natural gas (CNG), and diesel last mile mobility three- and four-wheelers in passenger and freight variants. The Mahindra Jeeto four-wheeler, the Mahindra Alfa three-wheeler line, and the electric Zor Grand and Treo series are among them.

I'd want to thank the Telangana government for the aggressive and easy-to-do-business policies that have helped Zaheerabad become one of the four mega EV production clusters.
