Mercedes-Benz has already started local production of electric vehicles in India at its plant in Pune. The company has invested over INR 2,200cr ($295 million) to upgrade the plant for electric vehicle production. The plant currently produces the EQC and the EQA is expected to be added to the production line soon.

Mercedes-Benz has also announced their  plans to set up a battery assembly plant in India. The company is currently in talks with various state governments to finalize the location for the plant. The battery assembly plant is expected to start production in the next 2-3 years.
