Expectations of EV Players That Remain On Paper Only Of course, in the run up to the budget, the EV ecosystem had plenty of other demands from the government that were neglected by Sitharaman. Akash Gupta, cofounder and CEO of Zypp Electric, believes there's a lot of confusion even for swapping companies, which has dampened EV adoption. “I would have loved it if GST on battery and spare parts had also been reduced to 5%, like it's there for electric vehicles purchases; this would also help the entire electric vehicle ecosystem," he said. Further, a holistic approach is needed to ensure a robust network of swappable packs and swap stations so that it merges seamlessly with the existing consumer behaviour around refuelling vehicles. More adaptable FAME-II norms were another demand that has been ignored in the budget. Coupled with production-linked incentives (PLI), this would have helped the industry invest in EV infrastructure The EV industry had also hoped that the budget would cut import duty on raw materials. PLI on the lines of automobile or semiconductor manufacturing would have boosted localisation efforts of EV players. Original equipment manufacturers are at present struggling under the present inverted duty structure. The EV players had also demanded low-cost finance options for smoother adoption of electric vehicles and placing EV financing under priority sector lending. This would have gone a long way for EV adoption The long list of expectations and demands also included government support for R&D in affordable and indigenous battery technology development, the biggest pain point for EV players. Dependence on lithium imports from China is considered a strategic disadvantage for Indian EV manufacturers.
