In India, with surging demand and continuous technological innovation, the global electric vehicle market is growing at rapid speed. Indian startups are making a dent with their ingenuity in fighting back traditional automakers that get up the learning curve quickly to fall in line with changing consumer preference. Government support, proactive EV policies, and incentives both at Centre and states have been instrumental in this growth trajectory. This flick from conventional fuel-powered vehicles to EVs is a prolific paradigm shift in the industry globe wide. While two-wheelers dominate Indian roads with a share of approximately 70 percent, development in terms of four-wheeler EVs is very strong; this indicates that electric mobility solutions are being more and more adopted all over the country.
Rohit Vadera, CEO, PURE EV, says, “India currently imports most of its oil, which makes the country vulnerable to fluctuations in global oil prices. EVs can help reduce this dependence on foreign oil and increase energy security and strengthen the nation’s balance sheet”.
