Luxury cars to lead EV push in India

Govt. of India has initiated a new rule that allows each car manufacturer to import 2,500 vehicles a year without the need for homologation. Automakers spend Rs 2-4 crore to launch a model in the Indian market after local certification.
As per the new rule, certification of the vehicles done at their country of origin would be enough to sell here resulting in potential saving of up to Rs. 100 cr and cutting down the waiting period of new launch by few months.

By 2020, many models from global players would hit the India road.
Major players launching zero-emission, pure electric cars and SUVs are Porsche Taycan, Mercedes-Benz EQC, BMW ‘I’ brand, Audi E Tron, Jaguar IPace and the Nissan Leaf. Also in the queue are a dozen hybrid vehicles, which have a 25-50% lower carbon footprint compared with conventional vehicles.
Globally, Mercedes-Benz will be introducing more than 10 battery-powered vehicles in the next 3 to 4 years, whereas rival Audi has committed to bring in a dozen EVs by 2025. The revised policy in India will ensure a majority of these high-tech cars make their way into India very close to the global launch.

Tesla plans to enter India this year or next

Tesla have chief officer tweeted that he would love to be in India this year or max by next year. Same Musk 10 months back had blamed restrictive policy of India for delaying carmaker’s entry into world’s 4th largest automobile market.

After 4 years planning Tesla started its first car manufacturing unit outside US in China at a cost of $5 billion. India has a paltry 6,000 passenger EV on its roads, compared with China’s 1.35 million. Though India is a promising market for EV maker but it lags behind China and is plagued by minimal government support for cleaner technology and paucity of charging stations.

Microdots technology to make car almost theft proof

To counter car thefts, Indian govt has decided to adopt microdots technology which is widely used in several counties including South Africa and the US. The vehicles stolen go untraced since auto-lifters take out the engines & other valuable parts before destroying the vehicles. Microdots is a technology in which thousands of micro dots are sprayed over the body of vehicle. These small laser-etched dots contain nano-size (0.5 mm) particles that carry information like unique number and vehicle identification number. These dots can be seen by using UV light and since the dots are sprayed throughout the vehicle body, it becomes easy to trace the vehicle as even a small part of the dismantled car can be used to trace the stolen vehicle. The government plans to roll out the technology as an optional system initially and the price of this feature is likely to be around Rs 1,000. The car, truck or bus would require at least 10,000 microdots, while at least 5,000 such dots would be neede...

Nandan Nilekani on Self-drive cars and e-vehicles future in India

The Infosys co-founder believes that India needs disruption right now to tackle smoggy skies, snarling traffic jams and rising population which has become hallmark of every metro city in the country. As per him the problems have become too big and the “chalta hai” attitude would not work anymore. The current technology advancements do not offer a solution to the struggles of navigating India’s urban maze and it is high time for marriage of tech-driven transit solutions like self-drive cars, electric vehicles and public transport with ride share to provide the solution. Given its population density, mass transit systems are the need of the hour in India and car-pooling must be encourage to eliminate personal automobile ownership.
