Dr. Anshu Bhardwaj Chief Exective OfficerShakti Sustainable Energy Foundation The coming decade will witness an energy shift—from fossil fuels to electricity using renewable sources. This is expected to drive electrification across sectors, including urban transportation. Currently, the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in the country is miniscule. Electric vehicles are cheaper to use on a per km life cycle cost basis. However, the initial costs of purchase are high. The subsidies offered by the Central Government’s Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles in India Phase II (FAME) and by the State governments (purchase and scrappage incentives) do incentivise EV purchase.
