India’s Future is Driven by Electric Vehicles & Fuelled by Lithium

“The Indian EV market will reach $150 billion by 2030, all thanks to the new players venturing into the EV manufacturing sector and the government support provided to them. The new state EV policies is again a positive step taken by the Indian government  to grow this market.”

The whole transportation sector is going electric, from public transportation to e-scooters. The winds of the electric vehicle ecosystem are now pointing the country in the direction of a more promising, affluent, and sustainable future. The government of India’s blatantly serious and comprehensive attempts to increase the country’s adoption of e-mobility by establishing numerous plans and laws only serve to highlight a clear-eyed vision of electrifying the country’s automotive industry.

The market for electric vehicles in India is anticipated to develop at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 90%, reaching $150 billion by 2030. Larger automakers and financial investors find the industry appealing due to the demand incentives offered by FAME II, the implementation of state policies, rising fuel prices, stricter emissions regulations, and growing awareness of the environment’s sustainability, to name a few.

The biggest automotive paradigm shift has drawn overwhelmingly enthusiastic interest from both the government and the automobile industry itself. Companies from all industries have now revealed their own roadmaps in an effort to participate in the biggest automotive revolution. The post-covid macroeconomic environment has given rise to several advantages for India relative to other emerging markets as we navigate our way out of the pandemic. These advantages have given rise to new opportunities that the nation needs to seize in order to accomplish the government’s goal is to expand the economy to $5 trillion.

One of the most intriguing, important, and crucial fields of innovation today is the field of electric vehicles. In 2020, the industry for electric vehicles was worth an estimated $163.01 billion, and by 2030, it is expected to be worth $823.75 billion. India has already expressed a strong desire to play a significant role in this automotive paradigm shift. In addition, India has already expressed a desire to take the lead in the future as the largest centre for electric vehicles. Industry leaders view electric vehicles as a promising alternative. Additionally, decreasing automobile emissions—which annually cost the country 14 lakh crores or 7 percent of its GDP—will be made possible in large part by electrification.

The current Government has been more proactive in creating the framework to enable widespread acceptance of digital technology, in contrast to the previous strategy, where a particular technology was introduced first but its supporting infrastructure took years to develop.

The transition from the conventional mobility paradigm to the E-mobility paradigm is already speeding thanks to “Make in India,” and there are already a number of startups and well-established companies entering the EV market.

India is about to undergo a significant upheaval. This time, it’s in the transportation sector, where the nation’s preference for electric vehicles (EVs) is growing swiftly. Indian highways now have a far higher percentage of two- and three-wheeled electric vehicles than they did two years ago. These days, almost all automakers have EV ambitions. Additionally, the government intends to switch a sizable number of vehicles on Indian roads over to electric vehicles in less than ten years.
