The global EV market is rapidly expanding as countries strive for sustainable transport and lower carbon emissions. China, Europe, and the U.S. lead the transition, supported by government incentives, enhanced charging infrastructure, and technological advancements. India is emerging as a key player, fuelled by policy support, growing environmental awareness, and innovation. According to an ACMA-Grant Thornton Bharat report, India’s EV market is valued at Rs 490 billion in 2024, with projections to reach Rs 3,180 billion by 2030, growing at a 37% CAGR and offering substantial investment opportunities, and solidifying the country's role in the global EV revolution.

India’s electric vehicle (EV) market is growing quickly, fuelled by changing consumer behaviour, tech advancements, and strong investments. Key trends include:

? Charging infrastructure expansion: Ultra-fast charging networks are expanding in major cities (Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Gurugram, Bangalore) and key highways, making EVs more accessible.

? Government initiatives: The FAME India Scheme, with Rs 115 billion allocated in Phase-II, and the 2024 MEC initiative aims to boost local manufacturing and create jobs. Additionally, Rs 8 billion will fund 5,833 charging stations.

? Consumer awareness: Rising concerns about air pollution and climate change are accelerating EV adoption.

? Public transport electrification: EVs are increasingly used in buses, auto-rickshaws, and ride-hailing services. In 2023-24, India saw 1.67 million EV sales, including 3,693 electric buses.

? EV integration in logistics & e-commerce: Businesses and e-commerce platforms are increasingly using EVs for deliveries and logistics, aligning with sustainability goals and reducing emissions.
