At least 40% of all vehicles in India may become electric by 2030, and
100% by 2047, according to a proposal made in a white paper, released by
industry lobby Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (Siam) on
electric vehicles.
The Union government wants domestic vehicle manufacturers to produce
only electric vehicles by 2030. Siam, though in its letter, has proposed
to move all vehicles used for public transport services to electric by
2030.
Energy Efficiency Services Ltd (EESL), a company floated by the ministry
of power, has placed an order for 500 electric vehicles with Tata
Motors and Mahindra and Mahindra. The delivery of these vehicles has
already started.
