They might enter in a big way only if there is a strong policy directive from governments. Lastly, it’s just too difficult for a traditional vehicle manufacturer to understand electric, which consists of battery, software, apps, cloud and IoT, apart from the vehicle. Electric vehicle manufacturing and sales & service is an entirely different culture.

The way forward is to make public transport attractive for urban India, by holistic design of habitats and transport, intensive and extensive use of data and information technology, better designed public private partnership agreements, greater allocation of resources and a combination of top-down dissemination of knowledge and know-how and decentralisation of decision-making.
Urban MobilityAuto sector: Hype over realityedit
Even the much awaited FAME-II declaration was missing. Instead, debate was dominated by the only concern about subsidies for electric vehicles which presumably can result in import substitution of crude oil; albeit with import of expensive electric vehicle (EV) parts like lithium ion batteries, motors and electronics for the singular objective of reducing pollution.

India must speed up renewable energy generation: Expertsedit
As a relatively poor country, India will be among those most adversely affected if warming exceeds 1.5ºC. Along with the rest of the world, India will have to radically transform the economy – something akin to a “green, white, telecom and IT revolution all rolled into one.”
Renewable EnergyRenewable Energy Towards A Sustainable Futureedit
With the expansion of urban life, there has been a direct repercussion in the increasing demands for power and excessive usage of diesel, petrol and LPG as sources of energy along with electricity. Since the past few months, the price of fuel has been on a rise and India has traditionally avoided the use of renewable energy. Discussions on renewable energy now seem utopic – but the need to use renewable energy demands serious deliberation.
Renewable EnergyWith new solar policy, Tamil Nadu hopes to usher in sunshine in energy sectoredit
The main focus of the 2012 policy was to generate 3,000 MW of solar energy by 2015. But multiple factors, like high market price of solar power, inadequate technological support and shift in the method of bidding for solar energy, acted as deterrents.
Solar EnergyWe are able to meet the power demand, it’s just the question of the last 500-700 MW’: Maharashtra energy dept secretaryedit
We are now doing competitive bidding for renewable energy and that has reduced costs. We definitely started late on solar but that has helped because the costs have dropped. So, we will see significant addition in solar, specially in the next few years. Right now about 20 per cent of our capacity is from renewables (non-hydro) and 7 per cent from hydro.
