Messe Frankfurt India hosted the maiden edition of the E-Mobility India Forum 2021 powered by the NGV India Summit. Held in New Delhi, the forum witnessed a footfall of 155 delegates who drew attention to the building blocks of India’s electric future in the whole of the energy mix. The topic of discussions spanned from ‘Future of mobility post the conversion to EV’; ‘EV Incentives’; ‘Policy, Challenges and Government support in accelerating electrification’; ‘Opportunities and Challenges for Auto OEMs’; ‘Accelerating EV Component Manufacturing growth through Make in India’; ‘EV Infrastructure and Innovative Business Models’ besides holding interactive knowledge sharing sessions for EV Startups on their approach into the future. The stakeholders deliberated on the country’s impending transition to e-mobility and touched upon the challenges and opportunities en route to realising the end objective of zero emissions. The forum assumes significance as it was held with the backdrop of India committing to meeting its global obligations, most recently at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP 26).
