India Advances Electric Vehicle Adoption with Incentives and Manufacturing Support
India's electric vehicle (EV) market is growing, with alternative-fuel vehicles comprising over 40% of passenger car sales in June, driven by rising fuel prices and government incentives. While two-wheelers dominate EV sales, challenges remain for e-truck and e-bus manufacturers due to rare earth magnet shortages affecting localization efforts. The government supports EV adoption through demand-side schemes like FAME-II and PM E-DRIVE, alongside supply-side incentives and structural policies aimed at boosting domestic manufacturing and technology development.
