India Sets Up Task Force to Accelerate EV Drive

In a strategic move to foster the growth of the EV ecosystem in the country, GoI is in the process of establishing a task force, thus aligning with its vision of Viksit Bharat and Atmanirbhar Bharat. The involvement of key stakeholders such as the Ministry of Heavy Industries (MHI), Ficci (Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry), and other agencies underscores the comprehensive approach being taken to chart a roadmap for the EV industry.

By bringing together expertise from both governmental and industry sectors, the task force can address various aspects crucial for EV adoption, including infrastructure development, policy frameworks, incentives, and technological advancements. Collaboration with Ficci and other agencies further enhances the initiative’s effectiveness by leveraging their insights and resources.

As the task force moves forward, stakeholders can anticipate concerted efforts to overcome challenges and capitalize on opportunities, propelling India towards a greener and more resilient future.

“The EV task force has been set up to engage with stakeholders through workshops and stakeholder meetings to gather their insights and recommendations on various aspects of electric vehicle adoption and infrastructure development,” read the letter.

As per the letter, different agencies have been asked for inputs on 11 topics to build an action plan for EV adoption in India.
