Malaysian Investment Development Authority's (Mida) future automotive sector incentives will focus on the electric vehicle (EV) supply chain as the adoption of these automobiles rise while countries in the region also compete for potential knowledge transfer to local talent arising from these investments.

"EV is the way forward for us. The government has put in place very generous tax incentives," said Mida’s deputy chief executive officer Lim Bee Vian on Monday (July 17) at an investors and vendors convention organised by Proton Holdings Bhd to promote investment into the Automotive Hi-Tech Valley (AHTV) in Tanjung Malim on Monday (July 17).

In relation to the AHTV project, Lim said the government is prepared to offer extended tax incentives for companies that are planning to invest in AHTV with a maximum of 15 years from the conventional five- to 10-year duration.

"It depends on the value of investment. If you're investing RM10 million to RM500 million, you can get a straight forward of up to 10 years. If [the investment] is anything more than RM500 million, you are getting up to 15 years," Lim explained.
