Ather Energy, an electric vehicle manufacturer, has decided to set up its plant in Maharashtra instead of Karnataka.

The Karnataka government and the opposition BJP are engaged in a blame game over the loss of the investment.

The state’s Industries Minister blames the previous BJP government for mishandling land allocation, while the BJP accuses the current government of inaction and jeopardizing the state’s reputation.
Karnataka has lost out on a major investment by Ather Energy, which has decided to set up its manufacturing plant in Maharashtra. The state government and the opposition BJP are now engaged in a war of words over the loss of the investment. Industries Minister MB Patil blames the previous BJP government for mishandling land allocation, which led to Ather’s decision to relocate.
The BJP, on the other hand, accuses the current government of inaction and jeopardizing the state’s reputation. Deputy Leader of Opposition Arvind Bellad has criticized the government for failing to secure the investment and has called for a leadership change. The loss of Ather’s investment is a significant setback for Karnataka, which has been striving to position itself as a leading hub for EV manufacturing in India.
The political blame game has highlighted the need for strong policies and proactive engagement to secure investments. Karnataka’s failure to secure the Ather investment has not only resulted in the loss of Rs 2000 crore and 4000 jobs but also damaged the state’s credibility as an investment-friendly destination.

₹2000 crore investment and 4000 job creation opportunity missed!
