EVangelise by iCreate brings an exciting challenge for Electric Vehicle innovators in India

The global EV market witnessed an average growth of 43 percent annually over the last five years. India too is at the cusp of a decisive breakthrough in the sector. The disruption can be gauged from how Ola e-scooter received a record-breaking 1 lakh pre-bookings in just 24 hours. The entry of new and dynamic players like Ola and Ather promises a strong growth rate in the next few years.

The Government of India has laid out an ambitious plan to accelerate the adoption of EVs in India. A budget of Rs 10,000 crore has been declared under phase 2 of FAME (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid &) Electric Vehicles in India.

Addressing the Amazon's Smbhav Summit, Nitin Gadkari, Union minister for roads and transport and highways said, “India is moving ahead towards making electric vehicles. In due course of time we will be the number one electric vehicle maker in the world. All reputed brands are present in India.” It is important to build an end-to-end ecosystem offering support to entrepreneurial innovation to achieve these ambitious targets.
