🏭 Policy Support Driving Momentum
In parallel with strong sales, the Ministry of Heavy Industries (MHI) launched a new application portal under its scheme to promote local manufacturing of electric passenger cars. Interested global and domestic players must invest at least ₹41.5 billion (~$486 million) within three years from approval to set up EV production facilities.
Additionally, under the PM E-Drive program, MHI has mandated 100% domestic content for 18 EV components in two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and e-buses to qualify for subsidies — further strengthening the local EV ecosystem.
