Here's how EVs will play a big part in India's mission to go carbon neutral by 2070

• Prime Minister Modi briefed about the numerous incentives offered to electric vehicle purchasers as part of the government's efforts to strengthen the EV ecosystem.
• The PM addressed the gathering where he stated that EVs are bringing a 'Silent revolution' in India and will assist the nation in reducing its carbon emissions.
• According to a KPMGIndia report, an estimated 5 crore EVs will hit Indian roads by 2030!

Positioning climate change as a crucial issue, India is propelling itself towards sustainability among the other developed nations with a comprehensive project undertaken across the country. This Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a gathering where he stated that EVs are bringing a 'Silent revolution' in India and will assist the nation in reducing its carbon emissions.
According to a KPMGIndia report, an estimated 5 crore EVs will hit Indian roads by 2030! With EV's 'Silent revolution', a paradigm change is currently taking place in the global automotive sector as it endeavours to transition to alternative, less energy-intensive choices. India is pushing investments in this transition to electric mobility. One of the main drivers behind India's recent measures to accelerate the transition to e-mobility is the burden of oil imports, rising pollution, as well as international pledges to battle global climate change, as EVs are a better alternative to combustion engine vehicles.
Prime Minister Modi urged the gathering to be EV efficient and briefed about the numerous incentives offered to electric vehicle purchasers as part of the government's efforts to strengthen the EV ecosystem. The government has taken many actions, including simplifying the loan application process and offering income tax rebates. The PM stated, "To boost the supply, work is also being carried out at a fast pace to introduce PLI schemes in automobile and automobile components manufacturing," he said.
India is effectuating EVs to more people across the country on the path to being EV efficient. While the two- and three-wheeler segments are driving the most demand for such vehicles, car manufacturers are now either introducing models or revealing plans to do so in the near future. Experts believe that with the right incentives, the upfront purchase cost will be reduced because battery technology development will reduce the price of batteries.
An all-out push to promote the adoption of EVs could be precisely what India needs to meet its target, or nationally determined contribution (NDC), set under the 2015 Paris Agreement. India has pledged to generate up to 50% of its power from non-fossil sources and reduce the intensity of its GDP emissions by 45% by 2030. The benefits of EVs become more evident as we get closer to these objectives.
Influential advantages of EVs in India

1. Lower running costs

EVs will work efficiently at lower running costs due to no requirement for fuel. Since the public will not require any fuel in their electric vehicles, there will be direct monetary savings during inflation. When compared to the price of gasoline or diesel, compared to the cost of charging an electric car is significantly lower. You can further reduce your electricity costs by utilising renewable energy sources such as solar.

2. Tax and financial benefits

With India's embrace of EVs, the government offers a variety of policies and incentives to encourage the use of such vehicles. For example, EVs have lower registration and road tax costs than ICE vehicles.

3.No Fuel, no emissions

The environmental benefits of EVs are among their most essential features. Zero tailpipe emissions from pure EVs lower air pollution. Since the EV's electric motor runs in a closed circuit, no hazardous gases are released. Because they don't need gasoline or diesel, pure electric vehicles are very environmentally friendly, and no emissions will help India to achieve the 2070 zero carbon emission target. As energy generation gradually shifts towards renewables across India, the secondary emissions associated with electricity used for charging EVs will also drop over the coming decades.
Electric vehicles, or EVs, are more environmentally friendly and efficient than traditional gasoline-powered vehicles with tax benefits in India. Rising gasoline and fuel prices have also contributed to many customers' desire to switch to electric vehicles. With more automobile giants revealing their EV plans - customers will have better and more affordable options to choose from - it will gradually bring more electric vehicles on road.
