India Launches National Electric Vehicle Policy to Boost Clean Transport

The Indian government unveiled its new National Electric Vehicle (EV) Policy today, aiming to increase EV adoption to 30% of all vehicle sales by 2030. The policy introduces incentives including subsidies for manufacturers and buyers, along with expanded charging infrastructure across urban and rural areas. According to The Hindu, the government plans to invest $5 billion over the next five years to support this transition. The initiative also targets reducing carbon emissions by 20% in the transport sector, aligning with India’s climate goals. Experts expect this move to significantly accelerate the country’s shift toward sustainable mobility and create new job opportunities in the EV industry.
