The Centre introduced a new Electric Vehicle (EV) policy in March with the goal of positioning the country as a leading producer of EVs worldwide. The policy requires a minimum investment of Rs 4,150 crore, with no upper limit, in order to attract investments from established global EV companies.
The policy stipulates that in addition to meeting the minimum investment criteria, manufacturing facilities must be established in India within a period of three years. Furthermore, commercial production of EVs must begin within this timeframe and a domestic value addition (DVA) of at least 50 percent must be achieved within five years at the most.
In a statement, the Ministry of Commerce & Industry announced a policy that aims to grant Indian consumers access to cutting-edge technology, support the ‘Make in India’ campaign, and reinforce the EV ecosystem by encouraging healthy competition among EV manufacturers. This is expected to result in a significant increase in production volume, economies of scale, and reduced production costs. Additionally, the policy aims to decrease the reliance on imported crude oil, lower the trade deficit, and improve air quality in cities, ultimately having a positive impact on the health and environment of the country’s citizens.
Additionally, the ministry stated that DVA must meet a localization level of 25% by the third year and 50% by the fifth year during the manufacturing process.
