Abstract

This study assesses the current state of the sustainable vehicle market in India, focusing on key opportunities and challenges for entrepreneurs. India’s electric vehicle (EV) market is growing rapidly due to government incentives and increasing consumer awareness. However, there are significant challenges such as limited charging infrastructure, high battery costs, range anxiety, CO2 emissions from EV and battery production, and rising electricity demand. The research identifies business opportunities in EV production, battery technology, charging infrastructure, battery swapping services, electric mobility, retrofitting services, and software development. Government regulations have played a key role in promoting EV adoption, but more efforts are needed to overcome infrastructure barriers, increase consumer interest, and reduce costs. This study is based on secondary data and a literature review. The research provides insights for entrepreneurs, policymakers, investors, and consumers interested in understanding India’s sustainable vehicle landscape. The recommendations include continued government support, battery technology advancement, alternative energy solution exploration, and greater customer adoption of sustainable vehicles to foster a thriving EV ecosystem.
