India's EV revolution has multiple moving parts demanding synchronous outcomes for success. Policy support in the form of FAME schemes, state EV policies and National Mission for Transformative Mobility and Battery Storage have ushered a flurry of activity in businesses across the value chain, demanding growing levels of regulatory innovation. But the backbone of India's commitment to the global EV30@30 goal is the creation of enabling infrastructure and market signals to sustainably embed EVs in the transport ecosystem. Accordingly, the allocation for public charging infrastructure was hiked over 30 times in FAME II scheme, and a new nearly US$2.5 billion production linked incentive scheme announced for advanced cell chemistry (ACC) batteries.
