From a land of rich culture and vibrant cities, India is now witnessing its own silent revolution on the streets by Electric Vehicles. It is through the fledgling electric vehicle industry that the Indian transportation sector is undergoing an expedited transformation. With popular aspirations for cleaner air, lesser linkage to fossil fuels, and a government-sensitive approach, the EV market in India has started registering a phenomenal uplift. This change brings a good chance to fix many environmental problems, reduce dependency, and open new economic routes. However, the way to approach these potential and inherent challenges must be balanced.Indian Government's Trade Gamble: A Double-Edged SwordIndia’s one of the top exports is refined petroleum, with approx value of $86.2 billion, while crude oil is imported at $170 billion (according to OEC world report). It's no secret how much EVs can increase the margin of profits if they replace refined petroleum consumption. As per the All India study report submitted to the Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell (PPAC) of the Petroleum Ministry, 70% of diesel and 99.6% of petrol are consumed in the transport sector alone. Hence, decreasing this consumption will further enhance India’s export quantity. This shift to cleaner energy automobiles will make India capable of storing more petroleum reserves which in turn will make India less vulnerable to the volatile global oil market. The potential surge in the export of refined petroleum products induced by EVs taking over the automobile market can also reduce India’s current account deficit by increasing its receipt. However, this ambitious plan has a sharp edge towards its side i.e. the component of EVs that India imports can further increase due to this shift. In the current geopolitical scenario, shifting its import dependency from oil-producing countries like Russia and UAE towards Battery manufacturing, and EV component manufacturing countries like China will not be a good step for India. Moreover, curbing the intervention of Chinese interference in the EV industry has also increased the upfront cost of the vehicles which has raised affordability questions in the energy transition cost.Emerging Demand and Supply: Bridging the GapIndeed, the Indian government feels the need to pin an answer to the affordability question. Here is where demand and supply-side incentives step in.For Demand-Side Incentives, we have Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles (FAME), and Electricity Mobility Mission Plan (EMPS) Schemes. The mentioned scheme gives subsidies that can make EVs more consumer-friendly for commuters to help them transition to Electric Vehicles. It can also offset a sizeable portion of the upfront cost, making EVs more plausible. For Supply-Side Incentives, we have a Production Linked Incentive Scheme which helps in pushing the domestic production of Electric Vehicles and Batteries and the creation of a healthy domestic EV industry.Besides the government, many private companies are engaged in the EV sector, bringing about disruptive features and sleek designs that turn the eyes. Such a competitive scenario is sure to accelerate EV adoption in India.Research & Development: Way Towards Self-SufficiencyHow far the ambitious dream of India's self-sufficiency in the EV sector can be translated into reality depends much on robust research and development. The development of Battery Technology has been very helpful in switching to electric vehicles. India Energy Storage Alliance has come up with a report according to which the EV battery market in India shall witness a minimum CAGR of 36 percent by 2026. This firm growth rate reflects a concurrent focus on indigenous battery technology development and reduced dependency on imports. Then we have the opportunity for job creation: The total EV industry is likely to generate a huge job pool; it is thus estimated that there will be 10 million direct and 50 million indirect jobs by the year 2030, according to IVCA-EY-IndusLaw reports). This, in effect, would therefore mean a huge impact on the Indian economy.EV Financing: According to Niti Aayog estimates, by the year 2030, the volume of the EV financing market is likely to jump up by a massive US$ 50 billion. This spurt in investment shall help further nurture and expand the EV sector.There is a promising future with regard to electric vehicles in India but with a hidden challenge too. While 30% of the country's auto component imports, costing USD 20.3 billion in 2022-23, are sourced from China, the tectonic shift toward EVs could actually increase this dependence, since China controls the global EV component supply chain. Under these circumstances, India has a pressing need for increasing its holistic approach. While domestic R&D efforts are commendable, the vision of the government seems to be short-sighted to not include the primary sector in its EV policy. For a stable EV future in India, it is necessary that government promotes public and private funding in the mining sector to exploit recently found battery manufacturing resources like Lithium in J&K's Reasi district. Investment and Infrastructural Development: Building the EcosystemThe success of EVs will be as good as the infrastructural development. With increasing EV Charging networks it has been a phenomenal support to provide an easy adjustment for the commuters.  Private companies are collaborating with government stakeholders to make sure that a robust network of EV charging stations is established across the country. For example, the 2500+ Ather grid network, Ather makes it easy for commuters and decreases their range anxiety, and the Tata Power network too, is expanding its presence to serve increasing demand. Then comes the EV Highways, the government's plan to create EV highways along the Golden Quadrilateral, a key national highway network of India that includes Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, and Chennai, showcases its commitment towards long-distance EV travel. This would bring in much-needed intercity connectivity for EVs.What makes Indian EVs successful is the ingenuity that goes into their making. Take, for example, PRAYAAG, which was acquired by the Arren Group—what that can do is only indicative of the kind of revolutionary innovations India is capable of, by achieving the energy strategy application. Their Energy Strategy application provides superior power per atom as compared to any other available traditional options such as sodium ion or aluminum air; they are nothing but a quantum jump over the present batteries. Another includes AI-based features like Tata Motors' regenerative braking and voice recognition systems among other established players. Way ahead: observing the EV industry's potentialThe other decision of the government to permit 100% FDI in the EV sector is also a well-calculated move. This inflow of foreign capital paves the way for greater innovation and technology transfer that can propel India's EV industry towards global leadership. With this, the government tagging EVs as a "sunrise industry" depicts that the sector has huge potential according to them. It makes allowances for venture capitalists and angel investors to look into the EV sector with the promise of high returns. With India’s economic calculus falling into alignment with EVs, the challenge to shift towards cleaner energy while making it financially and diplomatically viable remains in the centre stage to get addressed.

Ather Energy, a pioneering Indian brand, leads the electric scooter revolution, established in 2013 by Tarun Mehta and Swapnil Jain, alumni of IIT Madras.

It has already built 2500+ stations, successfully. Apart from this becoming an Ather Grid host doesn’t cost you anything. All you need to do is provide the space and all the necessary permissions. Ather Energy will take care of everything - installation, operation, and maintenance of each public charging point. Moreover, for the first batch of Ather Grid hosts’, Ather Energy will install a sub-meter to track the electricity consumption of each charging point. This will measure the exact number of units consumed, based on which Ather Energy will reimburse the host, as per the applicable tariff.Ather App: Your One-Stop Charging SolutionAther's commitment to user experience does not end with the hardware. The intuitive Ather app is your window to the Ather Grid network: it identifies nearby charging stations in real time and tells their availability apart from the capability to initiate a charge remotely. This relieves you of frustrating waiting time at an occupied station. Additionally, one can track his or her charging progress through the app, thereby keeping one updated for planning time.Transparency and AccessibilityAther Grid comes with complete transparency on the cost of charging. There is a predefined cost per unit of electricity that any user consumes, which is re 1/min + GST fee (as per data available till July 2023), Hence, making it fair and predictable while getting their bills. The network currently is open to all-electric two-wheeler brands and is not limited to just Ather vehicles. That creates a collaborative approach toward EVs in India, where all stakeholders will gerade from the growing charging infrastructure.Way Forward: Scaling Up and Spreading the ChargeAther Energy has aggressive expansion plans for its Ather Grid. It already has 2500+ stations and envisions even more fast-charging stations to be installed across India by the end of 2024. It works toward building a far-flung network to match the rising demand for EVs. Besides, Ather feels that collaboration holds immense potential for progress in building a robust EV ecosystem. For instance, it has partnered with Hero Moto Corp for an interoperable fast-charging network in India. In partnership with Hero Moto Corp, EV users will be able to use both VIDA and Ather grids across the country smoothly and can locate and navigate to charging stations via the My VIDA app and Ather app. This network of interoperable fast charging will accelerate EV adoption, strengthening the overall segment and will promote a convenient ownership experience. Besides this, not only the Ather EV scooters but any fast-charging electric scooter following the connector standard, IS17017 (Part 2 / Sec 7) 2023 can use Ather’s fast charging network at a nominal cost. These partnerships and initiatives make for a win-win scenario for all stakeholders, helping drive EV adoption and making the ride experience much better.

Recently, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) recorded 52 degrees Celsius in the Mungeshpur area of Delhi. Although after the news the organisation clarified a malfunctioning of the recording instruments, the update has raised a serious concern over the ongoing global boiling. To ensure a check on the global boiling, countries throughout the world are taking significant steps collectively as well as individually. India just like other nations has advocated for an eco-friendly and sustainable style of living. Striking a balance between unrestrictive development and sustainability, India’s EV industry stands at the juncture of the country’s individual efforts of nationally determined contribution and collective efforts for sustainability. This eco-friendly model of India is based on a joint effort by public and private stakeholders. One such stakeholder in the EV Industry that has proven the feasibility of commute transition is the River. Through its products Indie, the River highlights its commitment to eco-friendly commutes which can steer towards a cleaner and greener tomorrow. Just like a regular conception, in the EV industry also it's a common mistake for users to think of sustainability and eco-friendliness as the same thing. However, sustainability holds a much wider meaning than the latter. Where eco-friendliness only talks about the environmental impact of an electric scooters, sustainability means that the ride will continue to be in prominence for a long period of time without compromising on utility, innovation and importance. For example, the River Indie electric scooter that comes with sustainable features can in turn provide an eco-friendly commute. See yourself– 1- Built for daily life- Lock & Load Pannier Mounts: The scooter's load capacity is greatly increased by attaching pannier boxes to the sturdy alloy mounts mounted on both sides of the vehicle. This function serves riders who need more space for their planned and unplanned weekend trips, work necessities, or shopping.Front alloy foot-pegs: The alloy front foot-pegs on the River EV are a first-of-its-kind innovation in the electric scooter sector, offering more legroom and improving rider comfort. This keeps riders secure while enabling them to assume a more comfortable position, particularly on longer trips.2- Extra storage, less pollution12 Litre Lockable Glove Box with USB Charger: This handy 12-litre lockable glove box with USB charger enables travellers to safely store valuables like wallets or cell phones and provides easy access to a USB charging connector so they can keep their electronics charged while they're out and about.43-Litre Under-Seat Storage: With room to spare, this enormous storage box can hold two helmets. This improves security and convenience by doing away with the need to carry helmets outside. The extra room allows for flexible storage of unforeseen goods, so you're always ready for anything.All-weather Top Box- The vehicle also features a 25-litre all-weather top bix that can provide a further extended storage facility for the ridersSuch an increased amount of storage capacity can eliminate the need for multiple trips for users which can decrease the pollution level in the environment. Moreover, unlike traditional vehicles, River Indie with such storage capacity can handle more than one order if driven by an executive of a food delivery or any other service-providing company.3- Sustainable High Performance Riding Modes: With three adjustable riding modes—Eco, Ride, and Rush—River Indie lets users customise their scooter's performance to their own taste and requirements. For longer range, the Eco mode of the electric scooter conserves energy and for daily commuting, Ride mode provides a balanced mix of power and efficiency. Moreover, the Rush mode maximises the scooter's capabilities for those riders who seek an exhilarating ride.Top Speed and Acceleration: The River EV scooter is designed for riders who like a quick and responsive ride, with a 3.7-second 0–40 km/h acceleration time in Rush mode. The electric scooter serves as a smart option for both urban and intercity journeys because of its peak speed of 90 km/h, which guarantees easy highway riding.Hence, the high performance of the River Indie ensures a smooth transition of the Riders from ICE vehicles to electric vehicles.4- The Heart of Eco-FriendlinessThe range and charging efficiency of an electric scooter are largely dependent on its battery. Similarly, for the River Indie, its 4 kWh battery pack provides a useful trade-off between range and charging time making it run on a cleaner energy option than coal i.e. electricity.Battery Capacity: The 4 kWh battery has a decent range that is appropriate for the majority of regular travel. This removes the requirement for regular recharge and eases riders' concerns about range.800W Charger & Charging Time: In just five hours, the 800W charger guarantees a complete charge from 0% to 80%. The ability to charge fast reduces downtime and enables riders to resume their journey promptly.Supported Fast Charging: River EVs accommodate riders who need even quicker charging times, even if the basic charger provides a practical charging option. When fast charging infrastructure is available, riders can recharge their batteries much more quickly thanks to the compatibility of their scooters with it.Suggestions after close analysisBy analyzing the efficiency of the River Indie, undoubtedly, it has more headroom to grow. The company can become an example and the first electric scooter company in India to propose an extended producer responsibility program in order to reuse and recycle the batteries of electric vehicles. Moreover, a more transparent e-waste management along with sustainable battery manufacturing practices can further enhance the eco-friendliness benchmark of River Indie.
