Auto components maker Uno Minda has joined forces with Starcharge Energy to manufacture and distribute electric vehicle supply equipment in India. The collaboration aims to support the ‘Make in India’ initiative and accelerate the country’s transition towards a sustainable and electrified future.

Auto industry experts at a panel discussion on sustainable mobility at the Global Investors Meet on Sunday emphasized the need for continued government support for India’s sustainable transition. While the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is low in India compared to the global average, industry leaders believe that with the right incentives and policies, the country can catch up and localize EV production. EV entrepreneurs also called for a shift in policy to benefit smaller players in the industry.
