Government working on power surge plans for electric vehicles

The environmental challenges have been steadily growing in India. Apart from worries about rising pollution levels in the cities, the rising cost of conventional fuel sources is another major concern. The result has been the shift of emphasis towards alternative fuel sources. Thus major restrictions were imposed on vehicles which use conventional fuel like diesel and CNG in Delhi and the NCR region. The same is soon likely to be repeated in other major cities as well. Thus the government is now working on boosting the electric vehicle sector. It has already announced major incentives to promote the sector. A government panel is now working on a report that will form the basis of a program for this sector. At present, the presence of electric vehicles on Indian roads is minuscule. The power network is not really sufficient to supply electricity to the existing consumers. The program will increase this power supply network across the country.

To boost the sector the government will also liberalize the process of issuance of permits to electric vehicles. As a result the number of vehicles in the segment can go up to 25- 30% in the next few years. The present program is to be implemented with the National Electric Mobility Mission Plan (NEMMP). The target is to put 6- 7 million e-vehicles on the Indian roads by 2020. As a part of this program the permits issued to battery operated rickshaws too will be liberalized. Thus we can expect more electric rickshaws to hit the roads too.

The growing popularity of Electric Rickshaws in all cities:

The popularity of the e rickshaws is growing by leaps and bounds. The reasons for this are many. This includes the fact that these vehicles emit no pollution. They are very environment friendly as a result of this. The running and maintenance cost of these vehicles are low too. Thus auto owners are all shifting towards owning these vehicles as well. This sector has already formed the main source of livelihood for many. Besides with less hassles of commuting by these battery operated vehicles many passengers prefer to commute by them as well.

Industry executives said the electric vehicle industry is at a nascent stage with volumes comprising less than 1% of total vehicles sales at present. The lack of proper infrastructure is again a major hurdle for the sector. Experts point out that large parts of the country are yet to get regular, stable power supplies. The awareness too is low. But with the steps by both the central and state governments things will change. So in case you decide your business in the electric vehicles sector, it may be the right thing to do.
