Picture this: a fully loaded electric truck hurtling down the Delhi-Mumbai expressway, its battery depleting with every kilometre. The driver isn’t anxious—just 20 kilometres ahead, a 350kW charging hub awaits, capable of replenishing hundreds of kilometres of range in under 20 minutes. This isn’t science fiction; it’s Highway Electrification 2.0, and it’s rapidly reshaping India’s […]

Imagine returning home after a long day, parking your electric vehicle, and simply walking away—no anxious hunt for charging stations, no range anxiety, no hassle. For millions of city dwellers across India, this vision remains frustratingly distant, yet it’s closer than most realize. The real barrier to India’s electric vehicle revolution isn’t the vehicles themselves;

Charging stations are multiplying across India—but quantity means nothing if quality disappoints. The country’s electric vehicle revolution confronts a infrastructure paradox: over 26,000 public charging points installed nationwide as of early 2025, yet drivers routinely encounter broken chargers, unpredictable availability, and byzantine payment systems that transform what should be routine refuelling into frustrating ordeals. Installing

Electric vehicles conquered range anxiety—now they face compatibility chaos. Drivers arriving at charging stations confront a bewildering array of proprietary apps, incompatible payment systems, and networks that refuse to speak to one another, transforming what should be a simple refuelling stop into a frustrating scavenger hunt through digital ecosystems. You need one app for this

The chargers are there—but half the time they don’t work. This brutal reality confronts electric vehicle drivers daily: apps showing available chargers that turn out to be broken, queues forming at functional units whilst neighboring stations sit idle offline, and grid operators scrambling reactively when charging demand spikes unpredictably. Today’s electric vehicle charging networks operate

India sells forty-six different electric vehicle models—yet only six qualify for government manufacturing incentives. This jarring statistic exposes the uncomfortable truth beneath India’s electric vehicle success story: the country is assembling, not manufacturing, its clean mobility revolution. Showrooms brim with electric offerings from Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Tesla, and MG Motor, but scratch beneath the paintwork

The subsidies worked—but their time is up. India’s FAME schemes delivered precisely what they promised: over 1.8 million electric vehicles on the road, thousands of public chargers dotting city landscapes, and a population no longer puzzled by battery-powered transport. Mission accomplished. Yet as FAME II closes its books and PM E-DRIVE takes the baton until

The days of cheque-book environmentalism are numbered. For half a decade, India’s electric vehicle market thrived on government handouts and early adopter zeal—consumers queued for subsidies, manufacturers chased incentives, and policymakers celebrated rising sales figures. But as 2026 approaches, that script is being torn up. The country is pivoting from a subsidy-dependent model to something

The rumble of internal combustion engines is fading across India’s urban landscapes, replaced by the whisper-quiet hum of electric motors. What seemed like a distant automotive fantasy just half a decade ago has crystallised into roaring reality—India’s passenger electric vehicle segment has exploded by 68% year-on-year in the first ten months of 2025, shattering expectations

Whilst India’s electric vehicle revolution grabs headlines with flashy launches and soaring sales figures, a quieter transformation is unfolding in factory floors across the country. Metal cold-roll forming—a high-speed manufacturing process that shapes steel coils into precision-engineered profiles—has become the invisible backbone supporting India’s ambitious push toward manufacturing self-reliance.
