Future of Electric Vehicles in India.
                     Future of Electric 
Vehicles in India
Introduction
India's emphasis on next-gen mobility has undoubtedly taken up legs under the current government, but 
under the previous Congress-led government, the 'National Electric Mobility Mission Plan (NEMMP) 
2020' was originally launched in 2013. 
That puts the concerted efforts for green mobility and electric cars across the aisle into perspective. 
Types of Models
1. Solar powered hybrid vehicles and battery cars 
2. Hybrid electric cars powered by a combination of batteries and internal combustion 
3. Electric cars also known as hybrid electric vehicles (BEV) with integrated battery packs

Scope in India
1. Zoomcar founder Greg Moran added that the younger generation is motivated by creativity, 
sustainability and environmental protection with the median age of the Indians being 27 years. 
2. At the same time , numerous existing conglomerates and startups ensure indigenous product 
availability by manufacturing cars, parts, and batteries together.
Advantages over 
Fuel Vehicles
1. On average, from the fuel and maintenance viewpoint, electric cars are 75-80 per cent cheaper, which is 
an significant factor for many high-use customers. This reality holds true through form factors, as 
charging a battery is considerably cheaper than refueling a conventional liquid fuel tank. 
2. In fact, EVs have 75-80 per cent fewer moving parts, which essentially results in a much smaller 
maintenance bill. 
3. EVs also hold an intrinsic advantage over and above the robust running cost angle when it comes to 
efficiency and drivability.

Current Challenges
1. Charging infrastructure
2. Battery performance
3. Supply-demand gap
4. Creating the closed-loop
Battery Performance
In India, batteries must become far more durable in order to compete better with the internal combustion 
engine vehicles. 
The Hyundai Kona electric currently has the highest range of 452 km available on a single charge among 
electric cars in India, which may change in coming years.
Bridging the supply-
demand gap
Another big obstacle preventing today 's wider 
adoption of EVs is the fact that the range is very 
small, thereby restricting the use-cases for 
electric vehicles. 
Once, this is largely solved by scale as it is a 
more supply-friendly game that accommodates 
bigger, more cost-effective batteries that have a 
better total range.

Closed-loop mobility 
ecosystem
In addition to the charging network, manufacturers would also need to set up a comprehensive supply chain 
to make the shift viable at their end. 
Furthermore, recycling stations for batteries will need to recover the metals from batteries used in 
electrification to create the closed loop required for the shift to electric cars to be an environmentally sound 
decision, even after electric vehicles have aged.

Government’s Role
• Unique policy steps for combustion engines, such 
as cutting GST on EVs to 5% versus 28% 
• INR 1.5 Lakh tax exemption on electric vehicle 
purchase loans 
• INR 10K Crores allocated to FAME II to 
standardize electrical mobility 
• Union cabinet has suggested exemption from 
customs duties on some EV components including 
electric drive assembly, on-board battery, e-
compressor and charging piston to minimize costs 
• To identify the value chain, a five-year phased 
development plan (PMP) was introduced by the 
cabinet until 2024.
Manufacturer’s Role
• Cost Optimization
• High Quality Standards
• Increasing Domestic Manufacturing
• Reduce The Total Cost Of Ownership
• Leveraging Tech To Reduce Range Anxiety
