Electric Mobility and Vehicle Manufacturing

Subject: Economics

Book: Comprehensive Indian Economy - Additional Topics

India promotes electric vehicles (EVs) to cut oil imports and reduce carbon emissions. Schemes like FAME offer subsidies for EV adoption, alongside incentives for battery manufacturing (PLI). Yet obstacles include charging infrastructure, battery costs, and consumer perceptions. For exam context, highlight how domestic manufacturers (two-wheelers, buses) are shifting to EV lines, the interplay with power generation mix, and how battery recycling ties into sustainability goals. Government strategies for building a robust EV supply chain are also significant.
