India’s electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem is rapidly expanding, driven by key players like Tata Motors, Mahindra Electric, Ather Energy, Ola Electric, and Revolt Motors. These companies are not only pushing for innovation in EV design but also focusing on improving battery technology and enhancing charging infrastructure.
The Indian EV market is expected to grow significantly in the coming years, spurred by a strong push for sustainability, government incentives, and rising fuel prices. As manufacturers scale up production, a wider variety of electric vehicles is being made available, catering to different consumer segments, from two-wheelers to electric cars.
The growth potential is significant, with experts predicting that India could become one of the world’s largest EV markets by 2030, contributing to a greener, more energy-efficient future.
Share Price
The shares of OLA Electric Mobility Limited are currently trading at Rs. 82 up by 11.76% from its previous close of Rs. 73.42 as of November 27, 2024.
Government Push for EV
The Indian government has been a strong advocate for electric vehicles, launching initiatives like the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles (FAME) scheme to incentivize both production and adoption.
State governments have also introduced tax rebates and exemptions on road taxes, which make EVs more attractive to consumers. GST on electric vehicles has been reduced to 5%, which substantially lowers their overall cost compared to conventional vehicles.
Additionally, subsidies on electric vehicle batteries, along with financial incentives for charging infrastructure development, further support the transition to electric mobility. These combined efforts by the central and state governments are playing a crucial role in accelerating the adoption of EVs across India.
