Automobile Industry Urged to Boost Jobs Amid Localisation Challenges for E-Vehicles
Union Minister H D Kumaraswamy urged India's automobile industry to focus on job creation and skill development to support the Viksit Bharat 2047 vision. Meanwhile, electric commercial vehicle makers face challenges meeting localisation norms under the PM E-DRIVE scheme due to supply disruptions of rare-earth magnets, prompting the industry to seek a seven-month extension. The government has yet to decide on this request as the September 1 deadline approaches.
