India’s EV Transition Faces a Major Hurdle: The Need for Better EV Ecosystem

India’s shift to electric vehicles (EVs) is gaining momentum, but EV financing remains a major bottleneck. In a recent meeting with the central government’s think tank Niti Aayog, the Finance Industry Development Council (FIDC) urged the government to introduce a dedicated incentive scheme for EV financing, similar to the existing FAME (Faster Adoption & Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles) and Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes.


✅Why EV Financing Needs Government Support

Non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) have pointed out several challenges in financing EVs:

  • No dedicated incentives: EV financing is currently treated the same as internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle financing, offering no additional benefits to financiers.
  • Lack of standardized battery assessment: The absence of a clear framework for battery life evaluation and resale mechanisms increases financial risks.
  • Concerns over depreciation: Rapid advancements in battery technology create uncertainties about asset depreciation and resale value.
  • Limited battery degradation data: India lacks comprehensive data on battery performance under local conditions, making it difficult for lenders to assess risks.

✅ Proposed Solutions for Boosting EV Finance

To address these issues, the FIDC has suggested several key measures:

  • Dedicated EV Financing Fund: Establishing a special fund under SIDBI (Small Industries Development Bank of India) or NABARD (National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development) to provide funding for NBFCs to offer EV loans.
  • Subsidized Interest Rates: Introducing interest subvention schemes for EV loans under ₹10 lakh, making financing more affordable for buyers.
  • Incentives for EV Financiers: Similar to how the government promotes EV manufacturing through FAME and PLI, financial incentives should be introduced to encourage lenders to finance EV purchases.

✅ What This Means for India’s EV Ecosystem

If implemented, these measures could significantly boost EV adoption, making financing more accessible and reducing barriers for consumers. With India aiming for a major shift toward sustainable mobility, addressing the financial challenges in the sector will be crucial to accelerating the transition.
