Electric Cars: Indian auto industry is going through a total revolution. While fuel prices are rising, people’s concern for the environment grows, and the government encourages EV programs, people are slowly moving away from the conventional automobile. Affordability has reached electric vehicles, especially within the ₹10 lakh range, providing the middle class with reasonable reasons to make the switch.
Government Support Drives EV Growth
Thanks to FAME-II and PM e-Drive programs, and state incentives, electric cars are now more affordable than ever. The subsidies have reduced the initial price and facilitated larger EV uptake. They are also low-maintenance and have no tailpipe emissions, making them appealing, while EVs turn out to be an environmental-friendly and economical way.
