The government has ordered a probe into Tata Motors’ Nexon EV fire incident in Mumbai, as the company was investigating the “isolated thermal incident”.
The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), which was earlier tasked with investigating electric two-wheeler fire incidents by the Union Road Transport and Highways Ministry, would lead the probe into Nexon EV fire too.
