What does this status mean?
Meaningful delivery has occurred, but the stated commitment is incomplete.
Status describes delivery. Confidence describes how strong the available evidence is.
Original manifesto wording
“Bharat is a major automobile manufacturer. We will support the growth of the automobile industry and its transition to EV manufacturing. We will invest in establishing a nationwide EV charger infrastructure to encourage EV adoption.”
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.
