India is emerging as a strong market for electric vehicles due to business opportunities in the automotive sector. The Indian government has initiatives like FAME and NEMMP to promote EVs and aims for 30% adoption by 2030. Major players in EVs include Mahindra Electric and Tata Motors. Challenges include developing policies and infrastructure like charging stations, as the Indian EV market is still immature compared to countries like Norway.

1. MARKET OUTLOOK OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES
India is to emerge as a strong and potential market for electric vehicles
due to its intense and exploitative business opportunities for
automobile companies. Today EV is one of the biggest opportunities
that we have in India.
WHAT ARE ELECTRIC VEHICLES?
ELECTRIC VEHICLE IS AN ELECYRIC DRIVE VEHICLE,IS A VEHICLE WHICH
USES ONE OR MORE ELECTRIC MOTORS FOR PROPULSION,EV’S STORE
ENERGYIN AN ELECTRIC STORE DEVICE,SUCH ABATTERY.
There are three main types of EVs classed by the degree of their
sources:-
Macro level analysis (international outlook)
 The Indian automobile industry is currently ranked 5th
largest in
the world and is set to be the 3rd
largest till 2030. The
Battery Electric
Vehicle (BEV)
•Fullyelectric vehicles.
•Theyare chargedbyan
external source.
•Theycan travel foronly
1-2 miles.
Plug-in Hybrid
Electric Vehicle
(PHEV)
•They can travel for 10-
20 miles.
•Fitted withregenerative
brakingsystem and
plugginginto an
external source of
electric power.
Hybrid Electric
Vehicle (HEV)
•Powered byboth
gasoline andelectric
engines.
• Fittedwith regenerative
brakingsystem.

2. requirement of mobility in India is set to change dramatically in
the near future to cater to the requirement of population of 130
crores.
 Considering the government’s initiative working towards
improving mobility requirements, has increased the need to
prepare for green future Indian mobility and reduce dependence
upon fossil fuels.
 Norway became the third world leader in the EV market industry
in 2018 after china and United States. WHY?
 Commitment to zero emissions.
 Set up ambitious goals for all new cars to have zero
emission.
 Policy measures such as tax exemptions, toll exemptions and
other promoting incentives.
 Large import duties and car registration taxes.
 The government target for 30% adoption of the electric vehicles
by 2030 will ne majorly driven by the electrification of the two
electric-wheeler, and commercial vehicles. Lower rate of adoption

3. of electric vehicles in passenger vehicle segment is expected to
have a limited impact on achieving the target.
 EV market is expected to grow at a robust rate of 43.13 % during
the forecast period from 2019 to 2030, and installation of
charging infrastructure project to grow at a CAGR of 42.38%.
 BS6 norms becoming more prices competitive with conventionally
fueled vehicles, thus accelerating the electric vehicles sales in the
country.
 Production of automobiles increased at a CAGR of around 4%
over FY 12-17.
 Industry accounts for about 7.1% of the country’s Gross Domestic
Product (GDP).
GOVERNEMENT OF INDIA’S INITIATIVE (VISION 2030)
 FAME
Faster adoption and manufacturing of hybrid and electric vehicles
was launched in April 2015 fast track the goals of NMEP 2020
plan.
 As a part of National Mission Mobility Plan 2020, under
which govt. provides incentives to lower purchasing cost of
electric vehicles.
 Focused on 4 areas technology, Demand creation, pilot
Projects and charging stations.
 A budget of Rs 75 crores was allocated which was fully
utilized in 205-16 and a budget of Rs 91 crores has been
utilized for budget allocation of Rs 122.9 crores.
 Incentives of about 33 to 66 Lakhs are planned for ach
electric bus with typically costs around Rs 1-2 crores

4. (imported cars) and around Rs 50-80 Lakhs (domestically
manufactured).
 Under JNURM (Jawaharlal Nehru Urban Renewal Mission) ,
NEMMP(National electric Mobility Mission Plan) and smart
cities plans launched by the government expected to electric
buses over the next 5 years.
NMEMMP, 2020
(NATIONAL ELECTRIC MOBILITY MISSION PLAN)
 NEMMP targets 400000 passenger battery electric cars (BEVs) by
2020 avoiding 120 million barrels of oil and 4 million tons of
carbon dioxide. Total investment required for this be 20000-
23000 Crore.
 Permissive legislations to allow usage of electric vehicles.
 Operational regulations and frame work aimed at setting safety
regulations , Emissions regulations , vehicles performance
standards , charging standards
 Policy for facilitating research and development.
 Incentivizing manufacturing and early adoption of electric policies
aimed at encouraging investments and demand creations.
MICRO ANALYSIS (STATE ANALYSIS)
 IN India, focus is on getting the public transport fleet into the
electrification journey before focusing on private vehicles. Priority
will be given in order to electric buses, 3 wheelers, fleet cars and
then private cars.

5.  DHI has come up with the scheme to assist all 1Mn+ populated
cities to buy Electric Buses with a subsidy support of INR 1.05
billion per city and INR 150 million for charging infrastructure.
Karnataka aroused the fort amongst other state to get notifies
with EV policies.
 Karnataka has notified a very comprehension state policy for
electric vehicles.
 The policy sets the mission and intension to take leadership
position in the EV business in India.
 Availability of charging infrastructure is a prerequisite for
electric mobility. Government of Karnataka will develop
charging infrastructure as a commodity viable business
venture that attracts private investment.
 This is a policy which covers all elements like EV
manufacturing, EV charging business and EV sales and lane
preferences for EV.

7.  The sales of electric car have been stagnant at 2000 units per
years since the last 2 years.
 The 2w industry is now slowly coming out of its slump of 2-15
where it has reached a sale of 20000 units from a high of 100000
in 2011.
 The government subsequently slashed the import duty on
batteries from 26 per cent to 4 per cent.
 Since, 2012 there were no fiscal incentives available for EV’s and
sales slumped to 20000 units. Now, with the FAME policy, sales
have started to rise but most of the earlier EV wheeler firms have
shut shop.
