The government of India is in full Swing to encourage the public to switch to electric vehicles. Recently, the Transportation Ministry decided to waive the registration fees on all kinds of electromotive.
Due to the surge in COVID which resulted in lockdown, the conventional automobile industry has been seeing a steep decline in sales.
While the demand for electric vehicles has been rising, unfortunately, the lockdown has impacted retail sales of EVs in May 2021.
Hopefully, constant steps from the government to adopt and promote electric vehicles among people will help India emerge as a global hub for EV manufacturing. Additionally, the government also plans to allow mixing 20% Ethanol with 80% Petrol to reduce vehicular pollution.
