GOVERNMENT POLICY

India has an ambitious EV road map, is it plausible?

Forget On-Road Price, Charging Points/Electric Grid Sophistication, or Better Graded Fuel. There is a bigger and more basic concern for Electric Vehicles to storm the roads. And that reason precisely could be that there would be no roads for electric vehicles. Image Sourced from this Business World article on NITI Aayog's EV dream! vision!
