<p>According to N Chandrasekaran, Chairman, Tata Motors, the company will play a leading role in realizing the government’s vision of having a 30% penetration rate for EVs by 2030.</p>
<p>“The investment aligns with TPG Rise Climate’s focus on decarbonized transport and builds on TPG’s long history in India,” said Jim Coulter, Managing Partner, TPG Rise Climate.</p>
