In addition, a startup specializing in electric vehicle batteries for two-wheelers, including models like Royal Enfield, will receive 10,000 square meters in the 206-acre Electronics Manufacturing Cluster-2 (EMC-2) located in Sector-10. Notably, Havells has already secured 50 acres in this cluster as an anchor company, with three other significant firms also receiving plots.
