The MOU, formalized on December 8, 2023, outlines a collaborative effort aimed at establishing an Electric Vehicle (EV) Park and deploying 100 cutting-edge EV charging hubs across Uttarakhand.
The MOU signing ceremony took place in the presence of the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, Shri Pushkar Singh Dhami, and Dr Darshan Rana, Chairman and Managing Director of Erisha E Mobility Private Limited.

The proposed Electric Vehicle (EV) Park, spanning 320 acres with an investment of INR 1500 crores, is a pioneering initiative in the region. It is poised to become a hub for innovation, research, and development in the field of electric mobility. The EV Park will provide a platform for Electric Vehicle manufacturing, ancillary unit setup, technology providers, and researchers to collaborate, fostering the growth of the electric vehicle ecosystem in Uttarakhand.
