Additionally, the Ministry of Power, in its Guidelines for Installation and Operation of Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure-2024, has suggested a discount in electricity tariffs for EV charging during solar hours to encourage the integration of renewable energy in EV charging stations.
Besides PM E-DRIVE, the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Auto Scheme is transforming India’s automotive sector by driving sustainable and advanced manufacturing. Under this initiative, 18 Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) have applied, playing a crucial role in accelerating the electric mobility revolution and strengthening the nation’s journey towards a self-reliant and future-ready automotive ecosystem.
While the government initiatives are fueling the transition towards sustainable transportation, various startups have come together to spearhead this revolution with innovative solutions such as battery swapping models and portable charging solutions. Some of the notable startups leading the charge are SUN Mobility, Battery Smart, Lithion Power, VoltUp, RACEnergy, ChargeUp, Esmito, MOBEC, etc.
With charging becoming more accessible, EVs would no longer be a futuristic concept but a present-day reality shaping India’s sustainable transport landscape.
