Ultraviolette has announced plans to
establish its BIGGA (Big Global Ambition) Factory, a new state-of-the-art
manufacturing facility in Hosur, Tamil Nadu. The facility marks a significant
expansion of Ultraviolette’s manufacturing footprint and will provide the
capacity and infrastructure required to support the company’s next phase of
growth in India and international markets.
The BIGGA Factory will ramp up to an annual
manufacturing capacity of 250,000 vehicles in a phased manner, with
infrastructure designed to scale production to 500,000 vehicles per annum as
demand grows.
The facility will manufacture Ultraviolette’s highly
anticipated Tesseract electric scooter and provide the capacity and scale to
support the company’s future product portfolio across multiple segments,
including Sports, Crossover, Cruiser, Street and Scooters.
The project is expected to create approximately
2,000 job opportunities in its initial phase, with further scaling over the
next five years as the facility expands operations.
Narayan
Subramaniam, Co-founder & CEO, Ultraviolette, said, “We are at an
inflection point in Ultraviolette’s journey. Over the last few years, we have
built our foundation around technology, performance and product innovation; the
next phase is about building the scale to take that foundation much further.
“The BIGGA Factory is a significant step in
that direction, giving us the manufacturing capacity and infrastructure to
scale Tesseract and our future products, while creating the ability to serve a
much larger customer base in India and international markets. Our current
facility in Bengaluru, Karnataka, will continue its regular operations
alongside the BIGGA Factory, strengthening our long-term manufacturing and
technology footprint in India.”
“Hosur is a key manufacturing hub with a
well-established automotive ecosystem, significant supply-chain advantages and
close proximity to Ultraviolette’s R&D operations and existing supplier
network.
“These strategic advantages, combined with the
scale, precision and manufacturing agility of the BIGGA Factory, will enable us
to deliver the Tesseract and our future products to customers in India and
international markets while maintaining the highest standards of quality and
performance.
“The BIGGA Factory will further strengthen our
ability to innovate and contribute to India’s emergence as a global hub for
electric-vehicle technology and manufacturing,” said Niraj Rajmohan, Co-founder & CTO, Ultraviolette.
