Conflicting Signals in India's EV Market
The Indian government is displaying mixed signals regarding the future of electric vehicles (EVs), creating uncertainty in the industry. While EV adoption is steadily increasing, with registrations up 70% year-on-year and a decline in petrol vehicles from 86% to 76% of sales, two key government officials present contrasting views. Union Heavy Industries Minister H.D. Kumar Swamy expects the launch of FAME 3, a scheme intended to support EV growth, while Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari believes the industry can now function without special subsidies. This debate is critical as the expiration of the current Electric Mobility Promotion Scheme (EMPS) approaches, leaving manufacturers worried about potential sales impacts during the festive season if subsidies are interrupted.
