enhancing energy security. The government&#8217;s ambitious plans, supported by policy incentives and advancements in battery technology, have positioned India as one of the fastest-growing electric vehicle (EV) markets. However, despite progress, challenges such as inadequate charging infrastructure, high battery costs, and consumer apprehensions remain.
