Narayan Subramaniam, Co-founder and CEO of Ultraviolette Automotive said, "We believe the change in mindset towards EV adoption will happen through multiple segments transitioning to electric and subsidies should address all manufacturers that adhere to the policies surrounding local manufacturing. An inclusive policy framework will further strengthen India's standing in the global electric vehicle manufacturing landscape."

Dinesh Arjun, CEO and Co-founder of Raptee Energy said, "By 2030, EVs are expected to account for 20-30% of all new car sales globally. This will have a major impact on the environment, as EVs produce zero emissions. It will also create new jobs in the EV manufacturing and charging infrastructure sectors."
Suman Mishra, MD and CEO of Mahindra Last Mile Mobility Limited commented, "World EV Day is more than a day of celebration; it's a global commitment to a brighter, cleaner future. At Mahindra, Last Mile Mobility Limited, each day, this thought reinforces our unwavering dedication to electrifying the last mile and empowering our customers."
