EV adoption even more relevant after West Asia crisis: PM's Advisor

Adoption of electric mobility has become the most essential task for India as the West Asia crisis has shown how vulnerable the country is to external forces as far as energy is concerned, Tarun Kapoor, Advisor to the Prime Minister of India, said on Thursday. The country also needs to focus on localisation and reduce imports from China for critical parts while pushing for electric mobility, Kapoor said while addressing a conference on 'Building India an electric mobility hub for Viksit Bharat' organised by industry body Assocham. The topic has "become even more relevant after the West Asia crisis. Probably, I would say that for our country now getting into electric mobility has become the most essential task, which we all collectively have to accomplish," he noted. He said if India's crude oil imports dropped, it would give a lot more strength to the economy and help the rupee to appreciate. Reflecting on how the share markets behave during the crisis, Kapoor said, "We have become

West Asia conflict accelerated EV adoption in India: Tata Motors MD

The West Asia war has played a key role in the faster acceptance of electric mobility in India, shifting the market from 'a push mode to a pull mode', Tata Motors Passenger Vehicle Ltd Managing Director & CEO Shailesh Chandra said on Tuesday. The company, which launched the electric version of its popular SUV Sierra at an introductory price ranging between Rs 18.79 and Rs 24.79 lakh, expects industry EV penetration in the passenger vehicle segment to be 7-8 per cent this fiscal and cross 10 per cent in FY28, he told reporters here in an interaction. While the entry of multiple players in the EV segment and the breaking of barriers across subsegments such as pricing, range anxiety, and charging infrastructure have helped EV growth, the West Asia war has also played a significant role, he added. "Around the Middle East crisis, there has been a faster acceptance. I would say, if the same customers were reluctant before, say, February 2026, they are now more amenable to considering an

Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles plans 4 new EVs, over 10 refreshes by FY31

With India's electric vehicle adoption crossing the 'early adopters' phase, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles is turning to majority of customers to drive EV adoption with four new products and over ten refreshes lined up for launch by FY31 to sustain its leadership position. Early Adopters are those consumers who adopt a new idea or technology to gain a competitive edge.

Early majority consumers are those who need to see successful case studies before buying, while late majority consumers are skeptical individuals who adopt only after the average person has adopted a new idea or technology. EV adoption in India has crossed "from early adopters into th
