Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari on Sunday said
that India will become the top electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing hub
in due course of time.
In his address at Amazon's Smbhav Summit
2021, the minister said that lithium-ion batteries will be fully
manufactured in the country in the next six months.
"India is
moving ahead towards making electric vehicles. In due course of time, we
will be the number one electric vehicle maker in the world," Gadkari
said.
Noting that India has got tremendous capability for making
green power, he said that: "We are power surplus... This is time for
Indian economy to use electric as power."
Gadkari flagged off a fleet of electric vehicles of Amazon India virtually.
In
a statement, Amazon India said that with the latest development, it
reaffirmed its commitment towards the electrification of its last mile
delivery fleet to reduce its dependence on non-renewable resources.
Amazon
India recently announced that it is working with Mahindra Electric to
add more electric vehicles (EV) in its delivery fleet. Now, Hero
Electric as well as start-ups such as 'EVage' are engaging with Amazon
India to expand the company's fleet of EVs to enable sustainable
deliveries of customer orders.
Amazon India's Delivery Service
Partners are already operating EVs of multiple formats in over 20 cities
including Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Nagpur, Bhopal,
Indore, and Coimbatore to name a few.
