The new electric products that are hitting our market are a reflection of the readiness of the Indian automotive industry to make the switch to electric vehicles. With everything from a prize-winning car to a moderately priced electric hatchback, 2023 seems to be a good year for the electric vehicle industry in India. This indicates how prepared the Indian car industry is to make the switch to electricity. As evidenced by the exponential growth and rise in the number of electric vehicle sales in India as well as the forthcoming electric vehicles in India, the country is gradually transitioning to electric mobility as a result of increases in gasoline prices, supportive central government regulations, and subsidies for EVs.
By 2023, several new electric vehicles are expected to be unveiled and sold in India thanks to manufacturer incentives from the country’s federal government. The market is expected to grow quickly, hastening the release of brand electric cars
The country’s automotive industry would experience a boom following the Auto Expo 2023, which would be held in January 2023. At the event, a number of new vehicle launches and unveilings will occur. In the first half of 2023, a number of new electric vehicles will make their debut.
The Indian auto industry expects the introduction of 10 to 12 electric vehicles in the coming year, with costs ranging from Rs. 10 to 15 lakh to Rs. 20 to 30 lakh and even Rs. 60 lakh.
