Diary of a Petrolhead Short Circuit.

Shapur Kotwal

Oh no! Not again. Not another harebrained scheme. An all-electric car fleet in India by 2030! No more petrol or diesel cars on the road? Is this for real? Or is this Comedy Circus?

Now I know. Earlier on, it was me ranting on about how we weren’t doing enough about electric cars. And how China was going ahead, as it always does. But do we have to swing from one extreme to the other, every single time? Yes, I’m aware, in this day and age, everyone and his electrician wants to be disruptive. But do we really want to totally disrupt our own economy and bring it crashing down? 40 percent of all manufacturing GDP in India comes from the car industry. Stop petrol and diesel cars, and suddenly you will have to say sayonara to profitability and growth for the next decade.
