With the rise in global warming, the global automotive industry is currently undergoing a paradigm shift in an effort to transition to less energy-intensive solutions, and India too is not untouched by this change of adopting environmentally friendly choices and impeding climate changes.
According to data issued by VAHAN, from 3.2 lakh EVs in 2021 to over 10 lakh electric vehicles in 2022, India's EV market increased by more than 200 percent in 2022.
India's recent initiatives to accelerate the transition to e-mobility are primarily driven by many factors being given below:
- The Indian government has been putting various initiatives into place to promote the expansion of electric mobility.
- Many leading automotive players and oil companies are investing extensively to boost EV demand to achieve the challenging target of a future of sustainable mobility.
- Investment of a whopping amount into Indian EV startups, increasing by nearly 255 percent to $ 444 Mn in 2021.
- The Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for the automotive industry encourages domestic EV battery manufacturing for driving the price of EVs down and providing the crucial infrastructure to reinforce the EV sector in India.
The Indian EV market has experienced substantial growth and is predicted to keep growing exponentially. As more leading automobile companies are actively participating in the EV sector, this sector is expected to grow at a CAGR of 49 percent between 2022 and 2030, opening doors to a plethora of employment opportunities in India.
Additionally, it is anticipated that the Indian EV sector will generate 10 million direct jobs and 50 million indirect jobs across multiple roles to support achieving the goal of 100% EV adoption by 2030.
