Energizing India’s Future: Dr. Walawalkar Unravels the Transformative Roadmap in Electric Mobility
In the wake of PM Modi’s bold proclamation that the role of the automotive industry in moving India towards the ‘Viksit Bharat” or developed Bharat and India is destined to become the world’s third-largest economy during his government’s third term, Dr. Walawalkar offers a unique perspective on the transformative growth within the mobility sector. His insights delve into the critical role of the industry in India’s developmental journey and the specific focus on electric vehicles.
Dr. Walawalkar articulated, “The Honourable Prime Minister delivered very inspiring remarks at the Bharat Mobility Global Exports. Firstly, he acknowledged the pivotal role of the automotive industry in steering India towards a vibrant and developed Bharat. He comprehensively addressed every part of the value chain, highlighting the profound impact of the automotive sector on the lives of common people.
He outlined an ambitious vision, especially emphasizing the Indian energy story, particularly in the context of Reliance. We are honored that he specifically emphasized electric vehicles, setting a vision for India to not only be among the top in the world but, during his third term in government, to become the number one country in this field.
The Prime Minister delved into topics related to battery manufacturing, stressing the need to examine the battery supply chain and explore innovation in finding indigenous materials. He advocated for next-generation batteries, including solid sodium-ion batteries. His encouraging remarks extended to synergies between storage and rooftop solar missions.
He outlined a mission for deploying 1,00,00,000 solar rooftops and discussed the potential use of stationary energy storage in electric cooking. The integration of rooftop solar, electric cooking batteries, and EV charging aims to make customers entirely green.
We are genuinely excited that the Prime Minister is paying attention to every minute detail of the ecosystem. He assured that he and his government will stand with the industry at every step of the focus.”
As India’s electric mobility landscape evolves, this quote encapsulates the spirit of the government’s vision and the industry’s commitment to fostering sustainability and innovation.
It’s noteworthy that the India Energy Storage Alliance (IESA) stands as the associate partner of Bharat Mobility, actively contributing to shaping discussions and initiatives that will define the future of mobility in India.
