Outlook of Future Mobility in India with EV Transition

India's transport sector, the country's third-largest GHG emitter, is shifting toward electrification to meet climate commitments. While the transition supports goals like a 30% EV sales share by 2030 and creates jobs in battery manufacturing and charging infrastructure, it necessitates a coordinated strategy for reskilling the workforce to handle complex electric drivetrains and software integration.

• The transport sector is India's third-largest source of greenhouse gas emissions, with road transportation (passenger and freight) accounting for over 92% of the sector's energy-related carbon emissions as of 2020.
• India aims for electric vehicles to reach a 30% share of sales by 2030, supported by policy interventions including the FAME I and II schemes (launched 2015 and 2019) and the PM e-DRIVE scheme operational since 2024.
• The shift to EV manufacturing requires a workforce with specialized skills in battery production, power electronics, software integration, R&D, and quality engineering to ensure a sustainable transition.
