Ultraviolette has announced plans to establish a new electric vehicle manufacturing facility in Hosur, Tamil Nadu, as the company looks to expand its production capacity for the Indian and international markets. Named the BIGGA (Big Global Ambition) Factory, the facility will be developed at the SIPCOT Industrial Park in Shoolagiri. The Government of Tamil Nadu is facilitating the allotment of land for the new plant.
The BIGGA Factory is planned to achieve an annual manufacturing capacity of 250,000 vehicles in phases. The infrastructure will also be designed to scale production up to 500,000 vehicles annually, depending on market demand. The new facility will add significant manufacturing capacity to Ultraviolette’s existing operations and support the company’s plans to expand its electric vehicle portfolio.
The Hosur plant will manufacture the Ultraviolette Tesseract electric scooter and is expected to support future electric vehicles across Sports, Crossover, Cruiser, Street and Scooter segments. The company is developing the facility with scalability and flexibility in mind, allowing production volumes and vehicle categories to expand as its product portfolio grows.
The new manufacturing facility is expected to create around 2,000 employment opportunities during its initial phase. Ultraviolette’s existing manufacturing facility in Bengaluru, Karnataka, will continue to operate alongside the Hosur plant. Together, the two facilities are expected to strengthen the company’s manufacturing and technology operations in southern India.
The BIGGA Factory will be built around Industry 4.0 manufacturing principles, with digital systems and automation planned across key production processes. The facility will use a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) for real-time production tracking and traceability, along with digital lean manufacturing and quality-management systems. Collaborative robots, automated assembly error-proofing and vision-based inspection technologies are also planned to support production and quality control.
The Hosur facility will also feature a specialised test track where vehicles will undergo testing and evaluation before dispatch. According to Ultraviolette, the location provides access to an established automotive manufacturing ecosystem, supply-chain infrastructure and its existing supplier network, while its proximity to Bengaluru keeps the plant close to the company’s research and development operations. The new facility is expected to play an important role in scaling Ultraviolette’s existing and future electric vehicles for customers in India and international markets.
