Electric Vehicle Industry Growth, Trends, Analysis and Forecast 2021-2027

 

The electric vehicle industry in India is growing at a faster rate. Electric mobility will contribute to balancing energy demand, energy storage, and environmental sustainability. Unlike internal combustion engines (ICE) vehicles which produce a high amount of greenhouse gases into the environment, EVs produce zero carbon emission. The growing concern over the environmental pollution generated by the ICE is the major reason for the adoption of electric vehicles and replacing them with ICE engine vehicles. Further, cohesive government policies and the introduction of various new EV models are also fueling the Indian electric vehicle industry. The reducing cost of the EV due to the decreased prices of Li-ion batteries and fluctuating prices of fossil fuels are also augmenting the growth of the EV market in India. In July 2019, the government of India (GoI) reduced the Goods and Service Tax on electric vehicles from 12.0% to 5.0% which will also raise the adoption of EVs in India.

Government Policies and Subsidies

The Central and State government of India has taken initiative by providing incentives and subsidies to promote electric mobility. Besides this, the Government of India has also come up with various schemes plan for both electric vehicle production and charging infrastructure associated with it.

Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid Electric Vehicle (FAME): The Indian government has adopted the FAME-I scheme for faster adoption and manufacturing of hybrid electric vehicles with an outlay of $130 million to providing subsidies to electric cars, buses, and 2 & 3 -wheelers.  This phase was lasted from 2015-2019, while the second phase, FAME II was being activated in 2019 under which an outlay of $1.4 billion for purchasing EVs and deployment of charging infrastructure. For instance, under FAME phase II, the government has allocated around $145 million for EV charging infrastructure. The fund is allotted for the next three financial years from April 2019 to April 2022, with a ratio of 3:4:3. Under the scheme, the government has planned to develop 2,700 charging stations in metros, and other cities that have a population of more than a million.

National Electric Mobility Mission Plan (2020): The plan was launched by the Government of India with aiming to achieve national fuel security by promoting hybrid and electric vehicles in the country. FAME is part of this plan.

Delhi EV Subsidies: 

·        According to the Delhi electric policy 2020, a purchase Incentive of Rs. 10,000/- per kWh of battery capacity shall be provided per electric four-wheeler (subject to a maximum incentive of Rs.1,50,000/- per vehicle) to the registered owners of the first 1000 e-cars to be registered in Delhi after the insurance of this policy.

·        For a two-wheeled electric vehicle, a purchase incentive of Rs. 5,000/per kWh of battery capacity shall be provided per vehicle to the registered owner and subject to a maximum incentive of Rs. 30,000/- per vehicle.

·        A Purchase Incentive of Rs. 30,000/- per vehicle shall be provided to the registered owner for the purchase of one E-rickshaw or one E-cart per individual. This incentive shall apply to all E-rickshaws and E-carts, including the models with lead-acid batteries and swappable models, where the battery is not sold with the vehicle.

Advancement in charging infrastructure-

The availability of improper charging infrastructure is the major challenge of the Indian EV industry. EV charging and battery swapping are two means for providing energy to a vehicle. The Indian EV market is majorly affected due to a lack of proper charging infrastructure that leads to less adoption of EVs. In this regard, the Ministry of Power has issued “Charging Infrastructure for Electric Vehicles – Guidelines and Standards” mentioning the roles and responsibilities of various stakeholders at the Central & State level, for expediting the development of public EV charging infrastructure across the country. As per the FAME-II Scheme, Government has planned to install 2,636 charging stations in 62 cities across 24 states and union territories in 2020 but this plan was delayed due to the Covid-19. Under this Scheme, a total fund of $1.4 billion was allocated for 1.6 million EVs of which $140 million have been allocated for the development of EV charging infrastructure. The Indian government is planning to bring an additional 2,600 EV charging stations online expected in 2026.

Electric Vehicle Sells in India

Battery electric vehicle has the highest share in the Indian EV market. The electric vehicle sales increased by 20% excluding E-rickshaws in 2019-2020 as per the Society of Manufacturers of Electric Vehicle (SMEV). Around 1.56 lakh EVs sold in 2019-2020, under this Electric two-wheedler accounted for nearly 97.5% of all EVs sold in FY20.

Challenges for the EV Market in India

There is no shortfall for government incentives in India still the production and availability of electric vehicle is less. Some of the challenges that become the barrier to the growth of EV markets are:

·        Poor charging infrastructure.

·        High manufacturing cost.

·        EV range anxiety among consumers.

·        The high price of EVs in the Indian Market.

·        Import of lithium-ion batteries from other countries.

·        Scarcity of repair option and after purchase assistance.

·        Improper supply of electricity in underdeveloped areas in India.
