According to the report, BYD (ОТЦМКЦ: БЫДДИ) and privately held Megha Engineering and Infrastructures have jointly presented a proposal to Indian regulators to establish an EV joint venture. The long-term objective is to manufacture a comprehensive range of BYD-branded EVs in India, including hatchbacks and luxury models. BYD had previously expressed its intention to establish a production base in India.
The investment proposal also outlines plans for BYD and Megha to establish charging stations, research and development facilities, and training centers in India.

BYD officially launched the Atto 3 in India on October 11, 2022, marking its entry into the passenger car market. Prior to that, the Chinese NEV giant had been supplying electric buses and EVs to corporate customers in India.
At the time of the launch, BYD promised the delivery of the first 500 units to Indian consumers starting from January 2023.
“We aim to sell 15,000 units of the BYD Atto 3 in India over the next year and plan to establish a local manufacturing facility in due course,” stated Ketsu Zhang, BYD India Executive Director. Zhang added that the company had already invested over $200 million in India.
