Of all the clean energy alternatives, electric is indeed for real. The world is so scared about global warming and its consequences, there is a talk as to grow more trees, cut down the consumption of fossil fuels, banning the use of plastic, reducing the size of nuclear weapons , so on and so forth ………. to save the planet earth from pollution and global warming. Moreover the government of India is very much concerned about increasing pollution levels, import bills and economic growth and decided to move ahead with electric switch (ES) and Electric Vehicles (EVs) in the Auto Industry. Indian government also plans to build EV ecosystem from charging infra to battery manufacturing. EV’s most expensive item is battery, India is nowhere close to global leaders South Korea and Japan or even China, when it comes to cell manufacturing. It will be far good to import cells and make them accessible to equipment manufacturers.  With China securing a big chunk of Lithium-Cobalt mines globally, is India taking unnecessary risks – A big question to ponder. The man behind “ES” is none other than the minister of road transport & Highways, Mr.Nitin Gadkari, who is in a hurry to set up stiff EV deadlines. The present study is an attempt to examine the prospects and growth of EVs in India.
