The Government and EV Manufacturers will have to work on following
factors to ensure that EVs find their place in the market
Policy Factors
One-time government monetary subsidies at purchase. Under FAME scheme government
has offered to give subsidy of Rs. 11,000 to Rs. 1.38 Lakhs on purchase of Electric Vehicle
Post-purchase monetary government subsidies. Government has drafted National Electric
Mobility Mission Plan (NEMMP) 2020 and the policy will be laid down in December 2017
Induction of EVs. Central Government has issued a notification of inducting 10,000 Electric
Vehicles in its fleet. State Governments can also start inducting EVs in their fleet
Charging infrastructure. Charging stations can be established In a Public Private partnership
between the government and EV manufacturers
OEM Suppliers. Develop India as a base for Electric Vehicles OEM suppliers by offering tax
holidays and providing necessary infrastructure

The Government and EV Manufacturers will have to work on following
factors to ensure that EVs find their place in the market
Financial Factors
Purchasing price. Subsidy to Automotive Manufacturers and Parts manufacturers will bring
the price down and significantly improve the affordability of EVs
Fuel price. Increasing fuel prices will prompt customers towards EVs
Financial incentives. Customers need to be made aware of the subsidies provided by the
government in purchase of EVs and the benefits of owning Electric Vehicles
Low interest loans. Banks can offer lower interest loans in order to provide impetus to
Electric Vehicle Sales

The Government and EV Manufacturers will have to work on following
factors to ensure that EVs find their place in the market
Technological Factors
Driving range. The electric vehicles on sale in India at present have a range of 140 Kms on a
full charge. The range needs to improve significantly for the customers to except it
Charging time. The time taken for a full charge is in the range of 8 to 10 hours. Customers at
present are used to filling up the tank of the cars in a matter of few minutes
Vehicle options. At present very few options are available in Electric Vehicles. Manufacturers
need to bring in the models which are available in international market for Indian customers
Safety and Security. Cutting edge safety and security features should be provided which are
similar to the what is being provided in the Western world markets
