India's electric car fleet projected to grow to 9% by FY30

Indian electric vehicle industry has been so far led by electric two-wheelers and three-wheelers. While the penetration of EVs in the country's passenger vehicle segment has grown significantly over the last few years, it is still lacklustre compared to electric two-wheelers. However, the situation is likely to change over the next few years, as the Indian passenger vehicle market is projected to see EV penetration surging to nine per cent by FY30.
