Adityapur Auto-Cluster has been made operational at Jamshedpur to extend common facilities, such as testing centre, design lab, tool rooms, calibration plants, IT Training Centre, effluent treatment plant, etc., to auto component makers. Automobile Vendor Park is planned to be established under PPP mode or Private sector by Mega Automobile Manufacturing Units. Ambitious policy announcements are critical in stimulating the e-vehicle rollout in major markets.
