    What it holds for India?

    EVs will result in reducing carbon emissions by 30-35 percent by 2030 and cut down on Rs. 8 lakh crore-worth crude oil imports.

    The government plans to set up at least one e-charging kiosk at each of the petrol pumps across the country with an aim to accelerate the uptake of EVs.

    "The Centre intends to have an EV sales penetration of 30 per cent for private cars, 70 per cent for commercial cars, 40 per cent for buses, and 80 per cent for two and three-wheelers by 2030 by providing incentives," he said.

    Information

    Opportune time for India to grow in EV industry

    Gadkari said, "It is an opportune time to harbor the ambition of becoming number one in EVs as raw material and skilled manpower was available in India, making it a win-win situation."

    The Maharashtra government had already said it is looking for potential investment from Tesla in the state and has held discussions with the company.
