By 2030, India to witness 10 mn EV sales annually

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari envisions a significant growth in electric vehicle (EV) sales in India, projecting 10 million units annually by 2030. In addition to the boost in EV adoption, he foresees the creation of 5 million jobs within the sector. This outlook underscores the transformative impact electric mobility can have on India's transportation landscape.

The ambitious projection aligns with the government's push towards sustainable and eco-friendly transportation solutions. The growth of EV sales is expected to not only reduce carbon emissions but also catalyse job creation in manufacturing, charging infrastructure development, and related sectors.

Nitin Gadkari's vision reflects a strategic approach to aligning economic growth with environmental sustainability. As the EV ecosystem expands, the associated job opportunities are poised to contribute significantly to India's employment landscape, fostering innovation and economic development in the emerging electric mobility sector.
