To enhance the necessary infrastructure to facilitate a rapid transition to electric mobility in the country, the NITI Aayog released a handbook to help state governments and local bodies to frame policies and norms towards setting up charging networks for electric vehicles.
Jointly developed by the NITI Aayog, the Power Ministry, the Department of Science and Technology, the Bureau of Energy Efficiency, and the World Resources Institute, India, the handbook provides a systematic and a holistic approach for adoption by implementing authorities and other stakeholders involved in planning, authorisation and execution of electric vehicles charging infrastructure.

The Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) has indigenously developed charger for electric vehicles considering the need to boost up the charging mechanism of electric vehicles in the country announced, Director, ARAI during a press conference. He said that to promote EV, infrastructure for charging is important and since the mobility chargers are imported, the focus of ARAI is to develop chargers indigenously, which will be cost-effective and boost the local economy. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has already set a common standard specification for EV chargers. The charging points will be set up by Bharat Electronics and parts for EV charger systems will be manufactured locally.

The Covid-19 pandemic and its damage to the Indian economy did not deter the discerning investors from lapping up opportunities in the electric vehicle and e-mobility sector. Many financial deals and the funds involved vindicate this fact. Collective investment done by e2W, e4W, EV component makers, electric commercial vehicles, and last-mile delivery companies was recorded at INR 25,045.31 crores (€2.9 billion) during January-July 2021. Electric commercial vehicles led the investments with a 32% share. Electric 4W saw an investment of 28% where M&M invested INR 3000 crore (€0.35 billion) making its contribution at 12%. It has already invested INR 1,700 crore (€0.2 billion) in India's EV business, with another INR 500 crore earmarked for a new research and development (R&D) centre

On the 75th Independence Day, Prime Minister formally announced the launch of National Hydrogen Mission to push plans to generate carbon-free fuel from renewable. He also has set a target of 2047 for India to achieve self-reliance in energy. India can achieve self-reliance in energy through a mix of a gas-based economy, blending 20 % ethanol in petrol and moving towards electric mobility. India has achieved the target of 100 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity ahead of the set target. Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) is working on technology to develop hydrogen-spiked compressed natural gas or H-CNG.
