India is placing electric vehicles (EVs) at the core of its Net-Zero 2070 strategy. With focused policies, market segmentation, and support for infrastructure, the EV sector is poised for rapid growth. The paper identifies challenges around cost, policy, and production—especially in commercial and agricultural segments—and proposes targeted interventions. A harmonized policy approach, financial incentives, and local R&D are key to accelerating EV adoption and building a robust, sustainable mobility ecosystem.
