Proper planning must for EV migration: N Chandra

His statement comes at a time when two-wheeler makers – Hero MotoCorp, Bajaj Auto, TVS Motor Co and Honda MotorCycle and Scooter India (HMSI) – have opposed NITI Aayog’s plan to push for 100 per cent electric vehicles by completely banning two-wheelers powered by Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) of up to 150cc by 2025. “The migration to EV is important in our journey for sustainable mobility. But it needs to be planned to ensure that we have the entire ecosystem ready,” Chandrasekaran said in a statement. He further said, “What the government and industry must do is build a multi-year road map together, with milestones that could help all the players understand shared objectives, build capabilities and infrastructure and minimise any surprises along the way.” Tata group firm Tata Motors is among the pioneers of electric vehicles in four wheeler segment in India.
