The Indian EV Industry is slowly gathering momentum, supported by government initiatives and a rise in crude oil prices, as people look for alternative sources to reduce their monthly bills.

Several initiatives taken by the government to support the manufacturing and adoption of electric vehicles in the country should help in achieving the target of 100% EV adoption by 2030.

I hope this helped you understand the EV industry in India!
