India has entered the electric vehicle market, and the government is encouraging companies to develop technology that will make electric vehicles more accessible to the general public. State governments have also developed their EV policies, including various subsidies, and are pushing people to use electric vehicles. The Delhi government will produce an official manual to encourage workplace charging of electric cars (EVs) on November 29.
