During his speech, PM Modi emphasized the government’s commitment to promoting EVs through policies like the National Electric Mobility Mission and the Green Hydrogen Mission. He pointed to India’s remarkable progress in electric mobility, noting a 640-fold increase in EV sales over the past decade. In 2024 alone, 16.8 lakh EVs were sold compared to just 2,600 a decade ago.

Highlighting the role of India’s young population, he said their aspirations and needs are driving the demand for new vehicles. He also noted the growing purchasing power of the middle class, with 25 crore Indians having risen from poverty over the last 10 years. This expanding neo-middle class is now fueling first-time vehicle purchases, boosting the auto sector’s growth.

Modi pointed out the sector’s 12% growth last year, driven by affordable “Make in India” vehicles, rapid urbanization, and modern infrastructure development. With 2.5 crore vehicles sold annually, the PM emphasized India’s rising prominence in the global auto market. He also highlighted the government’s focus on combating climate change by promoting solar power, green energy, and alternative fuels.
