Furthermore, he emphasized that creating a strong battery manufacturing ecosystem in India would not only lessen reliance on imports but also provide a significant number of job possibilities. According to a recent assessment on “Charging Infrastructure for Electric Vehicles” by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), India may need at least 1.32 million charging stations by 2030 to support the quick adoption of electric vehicles (EVs). The government intends for EV sales penetration of 30 percent for passenger cars, 70 percent for commercial vehicles, and 80 percent for two- and three-wheelers as part of its plans for 2030. The future is in biofuels Kant projected that the four-wheeler (4W) market will significantly move in favor of biofuels. He emphasized the sustainability and environmental advantages of biofuels, saying that they will be crucial in lowering emissions and fulfilling India’s climate goals. Green hydrogen, Kant added is a crucial element in the transition to clean energy. However, he acknowledged that the cost of green hydrogen needs to be significantly reduced to drive adoption. “ Our target should be to bring down the cost of green hydrogen to $1 per kilogram by 2030,” he added. The National Green Hydrogen Mission received approval from the Indian government last month. The goal, which seeks to encourage the creation and use of green hydrogen, is positioned to be crucial in lowering the country’s carbon footprint and strengthening its commitment to renewable energy sources. Learn more about this here.  In the two-wheeler (2W), three-wheeler (3W), and four-wheeler (4W) divisions, Kant also underlined the necessity of a speedy switch to electric transportation.
