The Curvv, which will soon be available in India in both ICE and EV versions, was recently introduced by Tata Motors. The first car in the class is the Tata Curvv, a mid-size SUV with a coupe-style at the back. According to a report, Carwale has managed to obtain information on the vehicle's feature set and take a few images of the EV. However, Tata Motors has not disclosed the Curvv's features or interior design yet. The Tata Curvv EV's interior will share its design and looks with the new Nexon, including touch controls in place of physical buttons, a dual-tone interior, a two-spoke flat-bottomed steering wheel, and an illuminated Tata logo on the steering. Moreover, the Tata Curvv EV is equipped with a 12-inch infotainment system that includes wireless smartphone connectivity, navigation, and linked car capabilities. In addition, the Curvv EV has a panoramic sunroof, heated seats, wireless charging, a nine-speaker JBL audio system, and a digital dash. The upcoming vehicle will have safety as one of its USP as Tata is known for its multiple 5-star rated fleet of vehicles. To give tough competition to its ICE rivals including Hyundai and Kia, the Tata Curvv EV will be equipped with six airbags, ABS with EBD, ISOFIX child seat mounts, a reverse camera, parking sensors, and ADAS Level 2. The MG ZS EV, Mahindta XUV400, BYD Atto 3, and the soon-to-come Hyundai Creta EV—which has also been seen testing secretly many times—will be the Tataa Curvv EV's rivals when it debuts.

India will not modify its policies to appease US electric automobile company Tesla, instead, its laws and tariff regulations will be designed to entice global manufacturers of all-electric vehicles to establish a presence in the fastest-growing economy in the world, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said. Tesla is requesting an initial concession on tariffs that would enable it to deduct 70% of customs duty on vehicles under USD 40,000 and 100% of duty on vehicles over USD 40,000. Goyal stated in a PTI interview that the government understands the need for a thriving <a href="https://evindia.online/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">electric vehicle </a>(EV) ecosystem because increasing the usage of battery-powered vehicles will reduce carbon emissions and the prohibitively high cost of oil imports.However, he stated that in this case, policies would not be customised to fit the needs of a single business, but rather ones that will entice global producers of all-electric vehicles to establish operations in India. Giving glimpses of the potential future investments, Goyal further said that the government of India is having dialogues with different stakeholders from across the world including Europe, the US, Japan and Korea. However, he suggested that the talks are right now on a negotiation level only. Tesla stated that the concession was required to construct a factory in India. Excessive motor vehicle tariffs, intended to increase domestic manufacturing, have also been a source of persistent problems for international automakers. While replying to Tesla’s demand, Goyal clarified that the Indian government do not tailor policies for any individual company’s interest.&nbsp; "Everyone is allowed to express their needs. However, that does not imply that the government would necessarily act on your demands," he stated. When it opens, the Indian plant will be Tesla's sixth auto manufacturing facility. ﻿Currently, the percentage of customs tax applied to automobiles imported as completely built units (CBUs) varies from 60% to 100%, based on the engine size, cost, insurance, and freight (CIF) value of USD 40,000 or more.

Tesla is requesting an initial concession on tariffs that would enable it to deduct 70% of customs duty on vehicles under USD 40,000 and 100% of duty on vehicles over USD 40,000.

The retail sales total for the <a href="https://evindia.online/scooter" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">electric two-wheeler</a> market in India for June 2023 is 45,734 units, the Vahan portal stated. June's 45,734 units indicate a 56.58% decrease month-over-month after the industry's best-ever performance in May 2023 (105,338 units), which was attributed to a buyer rush in the last week of May to take advantage of the 40% FAME subsidy before it was lowered to 15% on June 1.&nbsp; June 2023 retail sales were at the same level as June 2022 (44,380 units). In August 2022 (52,225 units), electric two-wheeler retail sales in India reached 50,000 units for the first time. In the holiday shopping month of October 2022 (77,250 units), they surpassed 75,000 units. In the fiscal year that ends in March 2023, this record was surpassed (86,283 units). With 39,637 units or 86.66% of the market's total sales in June, the top eight e-two-wheeler OEMs maintained their lead over the competition. Additionally, companies have seen pressure from decreasing sales as a result of the cut in the FAME subsidy. Ola Electric, which continues to have a commanding market share (38%), sold 17,552 units last month, down 39% from the previous month (May 2023: 28,629 units). TVS Motor Co. remains in second place with 7,791 iQube e-scooters sold in May, a 62% drop from the 20,397 units sold in May 2023. Following it are Bajaj Auto with 2,966 units (down 54% from 9,965 in May 2023) and Ather Energy with 4,540 units (down 49% from 15,407 in May 2023) each. EV retail sales for all vehicle classes were 101,832 units in June, marking the ninth consecutive month that they have topped 100,000 units, despite a considerable decline in e-two-wheeler sales.

Maruti Suzuki's principal business, <a href="https://www.globalsuzuki.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Suzuki Motor Corporation</a>, has revealed its growth plan until 2030. Suzuki wants to see the nation become environmentally safe by 2070, following the objective established by the Indian government. The Japanese automaker also aims to introduce six electric vehicles in India by 2030, with the first one arriving in FY24. Despite the SMC presentation's lack of specifics on the body shapes of the future six EVs, the images presented imply the existence of a small hatchback, a small SUV in the Jimny type, three more SUV-like cars, and a crossover. By 2030, SMC wants India to reach a 15% EV adoption rate. By 2030, internal combustion engines will account for 60% of their capacity, and hybrid electric cars for around 25%. Suzuki would release the BEV (electric battery vehicle) in its native region of Japan in FY23 as well as in crucial regions such as Europe in FY24. The Maruti Suzuki eVX prototype electric SUV will debut in India in FY2024, and six EVs will be available by FY2030. The eVX prototype electric SUV was displayed at the <a href="https://evindia.online/blog/auto-expo-2023-updates---all-the-upcoming-electric-cars---bikes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Auto Expo 2023</a>. Suzuki headquarters, Yokohama Lab, Suzuki R&amp;D Center India, and Maruti Suzuki will collaborate in R&amp;D for effective innovation by integrating the development in each sector of technological breakthroughs, modern applications, and large-scale manufacturing technologies, according to the firm. According to a news release from Suzuki Motor Corporation, the firm will sell carbon-neutral ICE vehicles inside the Indian market that run on a mixture of CNG, biogas, and ethanol in addition to EVs to offer a comprehensive range of goods and providers. In FY24, the Japanese auto manufacturer will release a modest to the mid-sized electric motorbike. Suzuki intends to release eight vehicles by 2030 with a 25% battery-electric vehicle proportion. It is not yet apparent if they will be launched in the Indian market.

By July 2022, there has been well over 13 lakh electric cars on Indian roads. This is a phenomenal increase in just a couple of years. To suggest that EVs are the automobile sector's fate is no longer an understatement. The Indian government introduced the Production Linked Incentive plan for battery production in May 2021 to lower the cost of the essential part of electric cars. Electric mobility was included in the PLI program for automobiles and equipment in September 2021, with a significant financial commitment for the next five years. <a href="https://evindia.online/product/tata-motors-nexon-ev-xe" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Electric car</a> sales now only incur a 5% Goods and Services Tax (GST), down from 12%. State governments have urged the Ministry of Road Transport &amp; Highways to exclude electric car purchases from paying road taxes. For instance, Maharashtra has provided a road tax incentive for electric vehicles up to Rs 1.5 lakh. Consumers are also permitted to discount an extra Rs 1.5 lakh for interest paid on loans made to buy electric automobiles. While these initiatives are commendable, additional incentives like this would encourage people to adopt electric cars. Following are some significant initiatives projected from the Union Budget 2023: <h2>Until March 2025, interest on loans used to buy electric vehicles will still be deductible</h2> Currently, a statutory exemption of Rs 1.5 lakh per year is available for loan interest approved for the adoption of EVs up to March 31, 2023. This reduction is valid until the consumer finishes the loan used to purchase the electric car. Consumers may anticipate a two-year renewal of this tax advantage, which will apply to loans approved up to March 31, 2025. Please be aware that certain electric vehicles are eligible for this reduction; hybrid electric vehicles are not. <h2>The establishment of a one-time income tax break for the purchase of an Electric Vehicle</h2> The government must take into account a one-time tax break when calculating tax liability for owners of newer electric vehicles during the year of the sale itself to give the electric vehicle movement some momentum. <h2>Including electric cars under the scope of the necessary regulations</h2> According to current income-tax legislation, a perk worth in possession of an individual that has been given a motor vehicle to be used by the company partially for government and partially for subjective reasons is regarded as chargeable. The recommended requirement amount falls into two groups; it is somewhat greater if the car's engine size is more significant than 1,600cc. More businesses will be able to purchase and distribute these electric vehicles for workforce usage as a result of this interpretation without worrying about denying their workers of the tax concessions perquisite value or risking legal action for using the wrong perquisite value for taking away tax objectives. <h2>GST charges for Electric vehicle conversion kits are being reduced</h2> A sizable group of current combustible fuel-powered engine vehicle consumers might not be ready to switch to electric automobiles. Electric vehicle conversion kits are extremely important to make switching to EVs affordable. If the GST rate were reduced to 5% in connection with the price of electric vehicles, this would greatly assist this section of vehicle holders looking to jump on the e-mobility bandwagon. Presently, GST records a sensible part of the cost when buying an EV conversion kit, which is 18%.Additionally, the justification for the electric mobility sector has solidified after the unprecedented high spike in fuel prices. We must observe if the government can persuade more people to embrace electric vehicles, as the Central Budget is just around the door. So, if you plan to buy an electric vehicle, this year would be perfect. India is already accounting for a massive rate of reliance on EVs for the past couple of years; make sure you are not left behind. To ensure your knowledge of Electric vehicles and if you are planning to buy one, you should surely <a href="https://evindia.online/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">follow us</a> for more details &amp; assistance.
