Our Assessment

India is a major global automobile producer, and the EV transition is being supported through schemes such as PM E-DRIVE (about Rs 10,900 crore, replacing FAME, supporting electric two/three-wheelers, buses, ambulances and trucks), the PLI schemes for automobiles and advanced chemistry cell batteries, and dedicated support for public EV charging infrastructure under PM E-DRIVE and related programmes. EV adoption and charger rollout are accelerating, but a nationwide charging network and global leadership in EV manufacturing remain works in progress. Partial.
