Their presence highlights the growing importance of EV adoption in India’s sustainability goals and the critical role of government policies in driving this transition.
Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has emphasised the significance of the EV revolution, stating that it is reshaping India’s mobility landscape and marking a major step towards sustainability and innovation. This shift reflects India’s commitment to tackling climate change and fostering green growth. With continued investments in EV infrastructure, local manufacturing incentives, and technological advancements, India is poised to become a global leader in electric mobility.
Avinash Kaul, CEO of Network18 (Broadcast) and Managing Director of AETN18, shared, “The global automotive industry is undergoing a transformative shift towards electrification, reshaping economies worldwide. India’s transition to electric vehicles is not only an environmental milestone but also a significant driver of economic growth.”
Green Bharat aims to be a catalyst for change, driving important discussions and collaboration to overcome challenges within India’s EV ecosystem. By focusing on innovation, policy advocacy, and practical solutions, the initiative will play a crucial role in speeding up the adoption of EVs across the country.
