EV potential for India
The EV sector is rising in India and after the sops announced in Budget 2019, it can be a game-changer for the industry.
According to IESA Executive Director Debi Prasad Dash, “As India is entering into new evolution of EVs, there is a strong opportunity for Indian conglomerates to diversify and for global companies to enter the Indian EV ecosystem as EV manufacturers, component providers and advanced battery suppliers to facilitate charging infrastructure in India. This sector will also create new entrepreneurship environment in India and job opportunities with a new skill requirement.”
IESA estimates the market potential for electric vehicles would be around 77 million till 2030 which translates to cumulative demand of 750 GWh by 2030.”
