Panasonic Energy, which is among Tesla’s largest supplier of batteries, is evaluating four states—Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Karnataka, some people cited above said.
LG Energy is set to do a field visit to a 100-acre plot of land in Manallur near Chennai in Tamil Nadu after the Pongal that concludes on Friday, one of the persons cited above said. “They want to start slow and then scale up slowly,” the person said. “Tamil Nadu’s advantage is that it has a robust auto ecosystem which can be a clincher.”
