Electric Vehicles Becoming the New Focus in India
India's automotive market is increasingly focusing on the production and development of electric vehicles in order to combat pollution and oil waste. The sales of electric vehicles in India amounted to 22,000 units in 2015-16, an increase of 37.5% from the previous fiscal year. The government's goal is for annual sales of electric vehicles to reach approximately 7 million units by 2020.
New Delhi is currently the biggest domestic market for electric cars in India, representing about 62% of the electric vehicles sold within the country in 2016. As demand for and production of electric vehicles increases in India, infrastructure will have to be improved to accommodate these vehicles and ensure that drivers can re-charge their cars as needed.
