Piyush Goyal, India's Commerce Minister, stated that the electric vehicle (EV) industry is ready to thrive without subsidies once the existing subsidy regime ends.
During a recent meeting, industry representatives collectively expressed that they do not require subsidies for future growth.
Goyal emphasized the need for improved charging infrastructure at petrol stations and proposed self-monitoring guidelines for charging station setups.
The minister mentioned India's ongoing efforts to strengthen economic ties with the US amid trade tariff concerns.
Last March, a new EV policy was introduced, offering duty concessions to manufacturers investing over $500 million in India.
