Exicom managing director Anant Nahata told PTI that the company is setting up a manufacturing unit in Hyderabad where it will use DC (Direct Current) fast charging technology of Tritium to develop solutions for electric vehicles.

The Hyderabad facility is expected to be operational by the end of 2025.
