INDIA'S MOBILITY FUTURE WILL BE MULTI-FUEL AND MULTI-FORMAT

THERE IS ONE SIMILARITY between a truck driver in Surat and a young woman riding her scooter in Jamshedpur when it comes to their vehicles. Both want reliability and resilience, no breakdowns and surprises in traffic. But beyond that, their expectations from vehicles diverge sharply in India's $100 billion mobility market.

India is now the third-largest automobile market in the world by volume. What took decades elsewhere is happening here in years. Urbanisation, better roads, and rising incomes are leading millions to buy their first vehicle, with the confidence and aspirations of a seasoned buyer.

Multi-speed, Multi-fuel

India does not move in straight lines. Our mobility story is multi-speed, multi-fuel, and resoundingly local. For example, India's transition to EVs will not be in a straight line. Public buses, ride-share fleets, and food delivery bikes are now beginning to run on batteries, especially in metros with factors such as pollution and affordability.
