KETO Motors and Telangana Partner for INR 300 Crore Electric Bus Plant
Telangana’s clean mobility ambitions received a major boost on December 15, 2025, when KETO Motors Pvt Ltd signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Telangana at the prestigious Telangana Rising Global Summit 2025 in Bharat Future City. The agreement paves the way for a cutting-edge electric bus manufacturing facility in Jadcherla, backed by an investment of INR 300 crore. This project focuses on producing 9-meter electric buses, positioning Telangana as a key player in India’s commercial EV ecosystem and promising substantial economic and environmental benefits.
The signing ceremony was graced by Shri D. Sridhar Babu, Minister for Information Technology, Electronics & Communications, Industries & Commerce, and Legislative Affairs, who emphasised the state’s commitment to sustainable growth. By leveraging the TG-iPASS single-window clearance system, the government will streamline all statutory and regulatory approvals, ensuring swift project execution without bureaucratic hurdles.
Minister Sridhar Babu welcomed the investment: “Telangana continues to lead India’s transition to clean mobility by building a strong and future-ready electric vehicle ecosystem. The investment by KETO Motors in Jadcherla strengthens our EV value chain, boosts advanced manufacturing, and creates large-scale employment opportunities for our youth. We remain committed to supporting innovation, emerging technologies, and enterprises that contribute to sustainable, inclusive, and long-term economic growth for the state.”
Mr. Venkatesh Challa, Director at KETO Motors, echoed the excitement: “Telangana has emerged as one of the most forward-looking states for EV manufacturing, and we are proud to deepen our presence here. 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.”
Project Highlights: Jobs, Innovation, and Green Impact
The Jadcherla facility is designed to be a beacon of modern EV production, specialising in 9-meter electric buses ideal for urban and inter-city public transport. Key outcomes include:
- Over 2,000 direct jobs within three years, spanning engineering, assembly, and support roles.
- Boost to local supplier ecosystem through ancillary manufacturing.
- Advancement of research-driven innovation in battery integration, lightweight materials, and smart fleet systems.
- Contribution to sustainable transportation by enabling zero-emission buses that cut urban pollution and operational costs.
This initiative aligns with Telangana’s broader clean mobility roadmap, including e-bus deployments and charging infrastructure under national schemes.
Telangana Rising Global Summit 2025: The Perfect Stage
The MoU was inked at the Telangana Rising Global Summit 2025, a flagship forum showcasing the state’s industrial strengths, innovation ecosystem, and long-term vision under Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri Revanth Reddy. The event also featured the release of the Telangana Rising 2047 Vision document, outlining ambitious goals for sustainable development. By attracting investments like KETO’s, the summit reinforces Telangana’s appeal as a hub for cutting-edge manufacturing and green technology.
Why This Partnership Matters
KETO Motors, a rising name in electric commercial vehicles, gains a strategic foothold in one of India’s most progressive states. Telangana, already home to global tech giants and emerging EV players, adds a specialised bus manufacturing unit to its portfolio. The collaboration strengthens domestic capabilities, reduces import dependence on commercial EVs, and supports India’s target of electrifying public transport fleets.
Challenges like skilled workforce training and supply chain localisation remain, but the government’s proactive support via TG-iPASS positions the project for success. Formal agreements and groundbreaking are expected soon, with production ramp-up targeted within 18-24 months.
The Road Ahead: Cleaner Buses, Brighter Future
This MoU is more than an investment—it’s a commitment to transforming public transport with reliable, efficient electric buses tailored for Indian conditions. As Jadcherla’s facility rises, it will create jobs, spur innovation, and put thousands of silent, zero-emission buses on roads, cutting carbon footprints and fuel bills for operators.
Telangana’s clean mobility momentum continues to accelerate, proving that strategic partnerships can drive real change. For KETO Motors and the state, this is just the beginning of a greener, more connected journey.
