Electric Vehicles (EV) : The Dawn of the New Era in India

Since coming to power the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, has announced one green energy initiative after the other. His first commitment was to set up 100,000 MW of solar power generating capacity by 2022. 
After that , Government of India had launched the National Electric Mobility Mission Plan 2020 , to achieve national fuel security by promoting electric and hybrid electric vehicles apart from that state governments have launched schemes and incentives to promote electric mobility in the country. While the country stands to benefit in a large way by switching its transport from IC engines to electric motor-powered, there are challenges like lack of charging infrastructure, high initial cost and lack of electricity produced from renewable energy

Union Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari stated today that he believes India will be a manufacturing hub for electric vehicles within the next five years, adding that several countries do not want to deal with China after the COVID-19 crisis which can be an opportunity for India. The minister asked Indian automotive companies to boost their electric vehicle technology and also to focus on finding alternatives to lithium-ion battery tech to help make India the next global manufacturing hub for electric vehicles.
He stated , “I am confident that in five years Indian will become the number one hub for manufacturing electric buses, cars and two-wheelers. There is also a blessing in disguise that a majority of countries are not interested in dealing with China anymore. So, now there is a huge potential for India,” Gadkari said.
