• Support/subsidies to bring down upfront costs
• Better support infra (battery charging/swapping)
• Increasing product reliability and performance
• Financial support to the manufacturers

6. For India, the shift to EVs becomes
even more important…

• Over 80% of fuel powering our vehicles is still imported-
With prices at an all-time high+ fluctuations all the time.
• There has been increasing stress on the environment esp.
air quality, and noise pollution- seen in
most parts of the country.

• Investments into EV start-ups
There has been a lot of focus and support…

8. Yet, we still are left lagging behind…

Cost of Ownership
Reliability & safety
Robustness of the support infrastructure (esp. charging)
Low level of financing
After-sale service & resale value
