What are Factors Pushing Up Demand for Indian Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment in India?

-

 Since the last few years, the world has seen a sharp rise in the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), on account of the rising environmental damage being caused due to the widespread usage of oil and gas-powered automobiles. In the developing nations such as India, the sales of EVs have skyrocketed in the recent years, due to the rising public awareness of the harmful emissions released from the fossil fuel-powered vehicles. The total sales of EVs in India rose from 576,000 units to more than 760,000 units from 2018 to 2019, registering a growth rate of 32.0% during that period.


According to the World Air Quality Report published by IQAir North America Inc., in 2018, “India ranked third in air pollution ratings, with 72.5 µg/m³ particulate matter (PM) 2.5 concentration”. The report also said that seven out of the top 10 most polluted cities in the world were in India. Furthermore, the report mentioned that 22 cities in India come under the top 30 most polluted cities in the world. Apart from the increasing awareness amongst the masses about environmental conservation, the government is also playing a pivotal role in promoting the deployment of electric vehicles in India.

The Indian government is providing purchase rebates, financial incentives, and tax exemptions to the buyers of electric vehicles. For example, the government launched the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid & Electric) Vehicles in India (FAME) scheme in March 2015 and later revised it in 2019 for promoting the sales of battery and hybrid electric vehicles in the country. Under this scheme, the government is providing subsidies and various financial incentives to EV manufacturers and infrastructure providers, thereby boosting the sales of these vehicles and electric vehicle supply equipment in the country.

Hence, with the growing popularity of electric vehicles in the country, the Indian electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) market will exhibit rapid expansion in the future years. DC and AC are the two types of chargers used for charging electric vehicle batteries. Of these, the sales of AC chargers were considerably higher during the last few years, due to the lower costs of installation, operation, and production of these charging devices than the DC ones. Moreover, the charging costs at AC stations are much lower than that in the DC facilities, which make the AC chargers extremely popular in India.

Based on application, the Indian EVSE market is bifurcated into private and public charging stations. Between the two, the public bifurcation is predicted to demonstrate faster growth in the market in the forthcoming years. This is credited to the rising implementation of favorable government policies and financial policies aimed at creating a fast charging infrastructure all over the country. Additionally, the entry of major electric vehicle manufacturing companies such as Hyundai Motor Company and MG Motors India Pvt. Ltd. and their partnerships with numerous Indian EVSE manufacturing organizations are significantly boosting the advancement of the public charging bifurcation.

Geographically, the Indian EVSE market recorded rapid progress in the western region of the country during the years gone by, as per the findings of the market research firm, P&S Intelligence. This is attributed to the heavy government support for the adoption of EVs, especially in Maharashtra and Gujarat and the existence of major electric vehicle component and electric vehicle manufacturing companies in the region. Besides these, the high per capita income of the people bolstered the sales of electric vehicles, which, in turn, fueled the requirement for electric vehicle supply equipment and facilities in this region in the past.

Hence, due to the burgeoning sales of electric vehicles in India, on account of the rising pollution and the increasing implementation of favorable government policies regarding the adoption of these vehicles, the requirement for EVSE will surge in the country in the upcoming years.

As the air quality deteriorates and the prevalence of various lung diseases increases in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, the attention of governments, regulatory authorities, policymakers, and citizens is finally shifting toward the elephant in the room, that is, the large-scale usage of fossil-fuel-powered vehicles for both personal commuting and transportation of goods. The harmful emissions released from these vehicles are one of the major causes of air pollution and the rapid environmental degradation. To combat the situation and make the air in urban areas breathable again, governments of several APAC countries are implementing policies aimed at promoting the deployment of eco-friendly modes of transport, such as electric cars. This is, in turn, fueling the advancement of the Asia-Pacific electric car market. For instance, as per industry experts, sales of electric vehicles grew in India by 32.0% or from nearly 576,000 units in 2018 to more than 760,000 units in 2019, among w

Due to the rapid environmental degradation because of the extensive usage of fossil fuel-powered vehicles, the government is increasingly implementing policies aimed at encouraging the adoption of shared mobility solutions in India. Moreover, the government is providing various financial incentives for promoting the adoption of these solutions in the country. For example, under the faster adoption and manufacturing of (hybrid) and electric vehicles (FAME) II scheme, the government launched initiatives for augmenting the deployment of electric vehicles for commercial purposes.  These initiatives are propelling the deployment of electric vehicles and their adoption by various shared mobility service providers in the country. Apart from this factor, the increasing road congestion, especially in the urban areas, on account of the booming population levels and the surging number of daily commuters, is also pushing up the demand for shared mobility solutions in India. Different companies are
