Green on the Move: The Rise of Electric
Vehicles in India
In 2023, India had more than 2.3 million
electric vehicles.* By 2035, the Indian
automobile industry is set to become fully
electric.* As government bodies and
environmental organisations try to find
sustainable lifestyle choices, vehicle owners
are doing their bit by shifting to EVs and
hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). These vehicles
will ensure reduced carbon footprints and
help nature in replenishing depleting fuel
resources. With the ongoing research in EV
technology, the fast adoption of charging
infrastructure and the rise of EVs on Indian
roads, India is on its way to joining the list of
major countries with energy-efficient
mobility solutions.

About IIT Delhi

The Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT Delhi) is one of the five initial IITs established for
training, research and development in science, engineering and technology in India.
Established as College of Engineering in 1961, the Institute was later declared as an Institution
of National Importance under the “Institutes of Technology (Amendment) Act, 1963” and was
renamed as “Indian Institute of Technology Delhi”. It was then accorded the status of a
Deemed University with powers to decide its own academic policy, to conduct its own
examinations, and to award its own degrees. Since its inception, over 48000 have graduated
from IIT Delhi in various disciplines including Engineering, Physical Sciences, Management and
Humanities & Social Sciences. Of these, nearly 5070 received PhD degrees. The rest obtained
a Master’s Degree in Engineering, Sciences and Business Administration. These alumni today
work as scientists, technologists, business managers and entrepreneurs. There are several
alumni who have moved away from their original disciplines and have taken to administrative
services, active politics or are with NGOs. In doing so, they have contributed significantly to
the building of this nation, and to industrialisation around the world.
