"The objective of the EV-Mission is to promote research & development of Electric Vehicle (EV) adoption in India, fostering an ecosystem that enables self-reliance and global competitiveness. This involves research & development in some of the key EV components such as batteries, motors and controllers, power electronics, and related subsystems, chargers, grid interface to meet our current technological requirements on one side as well as doing cutting edge futuristic research to attain future global leadership, enhance domestic R&D capabilities, and position India as a hub for development of EV components thereby promoting Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India) and aligning with the goals of Viksit Bharat. The relevant approach is required to bridge the current gaps through targeted research with an aim of indigenisation, and value chain self-sufficiency as well as aiming global leadership by working on areas which have not yet succeeded elsewhere globally".
