By Anindya Upadhyay
India’s dependence on imported components for electric vehicles could make the country vulnerable to cyber-security breaches, according to the government’s chief policy think-tank. India should manufacture the majority of the parts needed for its electric vehicle fleet as equipment shipped from overseas could be compromised, V.K. Saraswat, a member of the think tank, Niti Aayog, said in an interview. All of the software and at least 55% of the components need to be made domestically to keep electric vehicles and the grid secure.

By Rahul Tongia
There’s large-scale, and then there’s Indian-scale. Until recently, there were moves to ensure that all passenger vehicles sold by 2030 were electric vehicles (EVs). The latest reports suggest that instead of a mandate or target, the government should focus on an enabling framework for EVs. Either way, there should be millions of them on the road in the coming years.
Electric VehiclesThe e-vehicle paradoxedit
Do you feel, like me, that an “Ah Hah” moment is just there, but we keep missing it? Just consider how e-vehicles are now the talk of the town; how industry has technology to make fuel out of solid waste or even second-generation ethanol from bamboo and rice straw-run vehicles without pollution and change the way we do business with pollution.
