India's EV Charging Market Set to Reach $3.7 Billion by 2030

06 Nov 2024 CW Team

India’s electric vehicle (EV) charging market is projected to grow to $3.7 billion by 2030, driven by increasing EV adoption and the need for efficient charging solutions. The sector is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16%, supported by environmental concerns and fluctuating fuel prices.

Globally, the EV charging infrastructure market is also experiencing significant growth, with revenues forecast to surge from $25.9 billion in 2023 to $164 billion by 2030, reflecting a CAGR of approximately 12%.

"Fast-charging technologies and battery-swapping solutions are essential to address range anxiety and facilitate everyday EV use," said Abhishek Maiti, Director-Industrial Goods and Services at 1Lattice. Battery swapping is particularly gaining traction in India for two- and three-wheelers, with major automakers investing in the technology to enhance affordability and accessibility.

Investment in India’s EV charging infrastructure grew at a CAGR of 35% between 2018 and 2023, surpassing the global investment growth rate of 30% during the same period. The Indian government is also pushing for increased EV production and localizing supply chains to meet its target of 30% EV penetration by 2030, as noted by an S&P Global Ratings report.

To further boost the sector, the government recently introduced the PM Electric Drive Revolution in Innovative Vehicle Enhancement (PM E-DRIVE) schemE to accelerate EV adoption and establish critical charging infrastructure across the country. The initiative is seen as a crucial step toward a cleaner, more sustainable future.

Government Cancels Auction Of Eleven Critical Mineral Blocks

The government has cancelled the auction of 11 critical and strategic mineral blocks after receiving a poor investor response and failing to attract a sufficient number of qualified bidders. The decision represents a setback to plans to ramp up domestic exploration and production of critical minerals amid global supply chain disruptions and rising demand for materials used in clean energy and advanced technologies. The mines ministry issued an annulment notice setting out the reasons for the cancellations. The annulment notice indicated that the auction process for five mineral blocks was canc..

Gujarat Pushes Biogas Growth With 193 Operational Units

Gujarat has operationalised 193 biogas plants across the state and is planning to add 60 more units as part of a broader push to scale up clean and sustainable energy solutions. The existing plants, established under various government-supported schemes, process organic waste including cattle dung and agricultural residue to produce biogas and a nutrient-rich slurry. The output is mainly used for cooking and other energy needs in rural and semi-urban communities, while also improving local waste management practices. The Gujarat Energy Development Agency (GEDA) is leading the initiative and is..
