Subhabrata Sengupta, Partner at Avalon Consulting, shared his views on Southern States Hold the Steering Wheel in India’s ePV Transition, which was published in Business Standard.

He highlighted that southern states are leading EV adoption not due to materially stronger incentives, but because of favourable urban density, shorter trip lengths, and well-developed intercity charging corridors. The article notes that cities and corridors such as Bengaluru–Chennai and Bengaluru–Hyderabad, along with Kerala’s linear urban sprawl along highways, significantly reduce range anxiety and make everyday EV usage more practical.
