The Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India, Ajay Kumar Sood, released a comprehensive roadmap for India's electric vehicle sector growth. The report identifies key areas for research projects, including energy storage cells, electric vehicles, materials and recycling, and charging infrastructure. It highlights the current reliance on lithium imports and emphasizes the need to explore domestic lithium deposits and research alternative cell chemistries for sustainable growth. The report also underlines the importance of achieving leadership and self-reliance in critical sectors over the next five years. Notably, India has initiated projects in Jammu & Kashmir and Rajasthan to confirm significant lithium reserves. The budget of Rs. 1151.650 crores has been allocated for R&D in the electric vehicle sector, promoting collaboration and innovative administrative mechanisms. The roadmap aligns with India's environmental goals, aiming to reduce emissions by 45% by 2030, achieve independence by 2047, and reach net-zero emissions by 2070 through local manufacturing and renewable energy generation. Overall, the strategic initiative positions India at the forefront of global e-mobility innovation, ensuring sustainable development and economic resilience.
