India needs to transition its automotive sector towards electric mobility and become a global leader in EV manufacturing, according to Amitabh Kant, the former CEO of NITI Aayog. Kant emphasised the urgency of this transition, declaring the era of fossil fuel-based combustion engines as ‘dead’. Currently the third-largest auto market globally, India recognises the need to adapt to the evolving global landscape and achieve 100% electrification in two and three-wheelers by 2030.
