The Telangana government will provide its assistance to the company through the TG-iPASS project, which is a single-window approval system and will, therefore, allow the company to get statutory and regulatory clearances very quickly.

Present at the signing ceremony was Telangana Minister D Sridhar Babu, who highlighted that this investment will not only give the state’s electric vehicle ecosystem a strong base but also the area of manufacturing will receive advanced technology and thus the whole vision of the state towards sustainable & innovation-driven industrial growth would be met.

The project signifies a turning point in promoting the state’s participation in the flourishing electric vehicle market while still being an active player in the larger scale of environmental conservation and economic objectives.

Venkatesh Challa, Director at KETO Motors stated, “The new facility at Jadcherla will allow us to expand production, build globally benchmarked electric buses, and contribute meaningfully to the state’s vision for sustainable transportation. This MoU is a significant step in our long-term growth plan and reflects our commitment to delivering high-quality electric mobility solutions while strengthening India’s domestic manufacturing capabilities”.
