This document discusses electric vehicle charging infrastructure in India. It notes that charging facilities are still very limited in India, with less than 1,000 stations, compared to over 250,000 in China. Government support for EVs has been inconsistent with subsidies being rolled back and delays in policy implementation. The document outlines several key government policies and initiatives to promote EVs, including the FAME program and NITI Aayog plan, which aims to set up 100,000 charging stations through public sector undertakings. It also discusses opportunities in areas like EV chargers, vehicle-to-grid solutions, and smart cities.

Electric Vehicle
It’s all about Ecosystem
➢ General Motors made waves when it got the Bolt
EV to market before the Tesla Model 3.
➢ It was the first sub-$35k vehicle on the road
and cleaned up on industry awards.
➢ Yet it only managed to sell 23,000 vehicles last
year, while Tesla has half-a-million people patiently
waiting for a Model 3.
The issue is the Chevy Bolt simply doesn't have access
to all the things a Model 3 does ; specifically the
supercharger network.

And that’s exactly what needs fixing !
> Charging facilities are practically nonexistent, though a small start has happened in
2017 with installations of charging stations. There are only <1000 charging stations in
the entire country vs. ~250,000 in China
> Government support has been erratic so far, with subsidies being rolled back and
delays in the EV policy implementation.
> Local manufacturers of components are few and there is a high dependency on
Chinese imports.

Governmental policies in India
Policies till date
NEMMP 2020 (National Electric Mobility Mission Plan)
➢ targets to deploy 5 to 7 million electric vehicles in the
country by 2020 with
➢ Permissive legislations
➢ Operational regulations
➢ Fiscal policy measures etc
➢ Apart from few pilot projects, nothing much was
done on ground in terms of implementation of this
policy till 2015 when FAME came

Governmental policies in India
Policies till date
FAME (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric vehicles )
launched in April 2015 to fast track the goals of NEMMP 2020 plan
➢ The scheme has 4 focus areas
➢ Technology Development
➢ Demand Creation
➢ Pilot Projects
➢ Charging Infrastructure
➢ The government is expected to spend around Rs. 14,000 Crores
➢ Karnataka, Maharashtra, Kerala, Uttarakhand, Andhra Pradesh & Telangana have EV policy as of Oct 2018. Eight
more states preparing the same .

Governmental policies in India
NitiAyog Plan - Big push given to EV chargers through PSUs
➢ NTPC plans for setting up 100,000 EV charging stations in India
➢ BHEL plans to make batteries in India using the Lithium technology developed by ISRO
➢ EESL has already issued tenders to source 10,000 EV and about 4,000 EV chargers in India
➢ Rajasthan Electronics Ltd– plans to set up 200 charging stations in Delhi, Jaipur and Chandigarh

11. 11
Governmental policies in India
Policies till date
NitiAyog Plan
➢ Priority of electrification will be given in the order of electric buses, 3 wheelers, fleet
cars, 2 wheelers and then private cars .
➢ All 1Mn+ populated cities to buy Electric Buses with an subsidy support of INR 1.05
billion per city and INR 150 million for Charging infrastructure
➢ Smart Cities program to be a big consumer of EV programs .

12. 12
EV Chargers in India
Product Requirements for initial orders of EV chargers
➢ The charging equipment must be CE Certified
➢ The charging equipment must come with a comprehensive extended on-site warranty and AMC package for 5
years from the date of commissioning and must have a design life of 10 years
➢ The charging equipment before delivery, should be type tested as per AIS 138 at ARAI (Automotive Research
Association of India) and IIT Madras
➢ Chargers standard released by DHI (Department of Heavy industry) for standardization of protocol for EV Charging
Infrastructure - Bharat EV Charger AC-001 and Bharat EV Charger DC-001 in finalization stage . Standard is closer to
CCS (European) than CHAdeMO (Japanese) and GB/T (Chinese).

Opportunities
EV Charging spaces
• EV Chargers / Smart Chargers (equipment / technology)
• Charging Infrastructure Services
• Smart Charging networks
• Cloud based solutions for Charging
Apart from a few local firms in power electronics and ABB , EV Charging sector remains an unchartered territory for
India. This offers excellent opportunities for SE as growth potential is huge
Vehicle to Grid / Storage / Battery
• Vehicle to Grid solutions
• RE integration with EV charging and Storage
• Lithium Battery Solutions and BMS
Currently, there is little awareness of the scope and extent of impact on the grid.

14. 14
Opportunities
Smart city
Brand labelling with local vendors
Unlike other countries, Indian EV opportunity lies in a variety of automobiles and not just passenger cars business….
…many other opportunities like Ebike, Ecycles etc could emerge as we move ahead towards an electric future
