Whilst legacy automotive giants cautiously test India’s electric vehicle waters, Vietnamese upstart VinFast is diving in headfirst with audacious conviction. The company’s announcement of a $500 million investment to expand its Tamil Nadu manufacturing facility—adding electric buses and scooters to its existing car production—represents far more than routine capacity expansion. It signals a fundamental bet […]

Five years ago, electric vehicles in India represented little more than a promising footnote in policy documents and optimistic projections. Today, they constitute a roaring reality that’s fundamentally reshaping the nation’s transportation landscape. The numbers alone tell an extraordinary tale: electric two-wheeler registrations have catapulted from a modest 29,112 units in 2020 to over 11.42

The teenager scrolling through Instagram today, barely old enough for a learner’s permit, will be Mahindra’s target customer in 2027. That sixteen-year-old’s preferences—shaped by smartphones, sustainability consciousness, and fundamentally different mobility expectations—are dictating design decisions being made right now in Mahindra’s studios. This isn’t speculation; it’s the deliberate strategy of Pratap Bose, Chief Design and

In 2016, spotting an electric vehicle on Indian roads was a rare occurrence—just 50,000 were registered across the entire nation.

Range anxiety—the nagging fear that your electric vehicle will run out of charge miles from the nearest power point—has long been the invisible barrier holding back India’s e-mobility revolution. But across South India, that psychological obstacle is being systematically dismantled, one charging station at a time. With 236 stations now installed or commissioned along major

The crown is slipping. Tata Motors, once the undisputed monarch of India’s electric vehicle landscape with over 55% market control, now finds itself defending territory against aggressive challengers. In a market growing at breakneck speed—projected to surge from 4.3 million units to 6 million by 2030—the company’s share has contracted to approximately 40%, whilst newcomers

Your electric vehicle sits idle in the garage for approximately 95 per cent of its lifetime, representing not just dormant transportation but wasted energy storage potential worth thousands annually. That calculus is about to change dramatically. Bidirectional charging technology is transforming electric vehicles from passive consumers into active participants in energy markets, capable of storing

Picture arriving home after a long day, parking your electric vehicle, and walking away whilst a robot silently approaches, locates your charging port, and powers up your battery—no fumbling with heavy cables, no anxiety about finding available stations, no hassle whatsoever. This isn’t science fiction set decades hence; it’s a reality emerging from pilot programmes
