Abstract: This chapter focuses on India's emerging electric vehicle (EV) industry. It examines policy-backed incentives for EV technology development and manufacturing, such as the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles scheme. The chapter discusses how India is integrating public and private sector efforts to address environmental and economic goals, reduce oil dependency, and advance sustainable transportation. It explores the potential of this sector and the challenges it faces, including infrastructure development, battery technology, and consumer adoption. The chapter analyses the role of domestic manufacturers in the EV supply chain and India's efforts to position itself in the global EV market. It concludes with an assessment of the industry's prospects and its potential impact on India's automotive sector and overall economy.
