According to Savills India, the EV market in India has experienced substantial growth in recent years, driven by various factors. These include market forces, government policies, rising environmental concerns, and increasing fuel costs. These factors are encouraging both individuals and businesses to adopt cleaner alternatives. The Government of India has launched several initiatives, such as the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid&) Electric Vehicles (FAME) and the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes, to accelerate EV adoption and strengthen the supporting ecosystem.
India is rapidly emerging as a major player in the global EV market, not only advancing sustainable mobility but also creating significant new demand for real estate to support the required EV infrastructure. The report highlights several key points:
- India will need upwards of 6,000 acres of land for EV manufacturing, battery plants, and charging infrastructure by 2030.
- The total real estate investment required by 2030 for EV manufacturing facilities and charging stations is estimated at USD 7.5 to 9.0 billion.
- India’s lithium-ion battery manufacturing capacity is projected to grow to between 147 GWh and 179 GWh by 2030.
- An estimated 81,000 to 92,500 public and semi-public EV charging stations will be needed across India by 2030.
