The reduction in customs duty on lithium and other important raw materials will significantly lower input costs for lithium-ion battery manufacturing, making EVs more affordable to consumers while boosting domestic production. The introduction of a national manufacturing mission for clean tech industries is another commendable move. By strengthening the ecosystem for EV batteries, motors, and controllers, this initiative will accelerate India’s transition to sustainable transportation. The recognition of MSMEs as the ‘2nd engine’ of economic growth in the Union Budget 2025 will boost sectoral confidence. The fiscal policies stated to support MSMEs will have a multiplier effect on various sectors, including accelerating India’s e-mobility revolution. We are confident that the expanded tax bracket will enhance the purchasing power of the middle class, which will positively impact EV industry in India.”
