India’s electric car market is gathering in momentum with new models being introduced and charging infrastructure being augmented
The electric car market in India is gaining added impetus. This segment has tremendous scope for further sales growth especially with most automakers introducing newer offerings in this segment, continued encouragement and support with favourable government policies and a change in buyer preferences.
