India released its comprehensive National Electric Mobility Mission Plan (NEMMP2020) in 2013 with the ambition to deploy 5 to 7 million hybrid and electric vehicles (xEVs) by 2020. The large-scale use of xEVs in India could mean a decrease in fuel oil importation and mitigation of pollution caused by the transportation industry. In addition, the technological advantage presented by the manufacture of EVs is expected to be a new economic growth highlight for India. However, administrative policies such as NEMMP2020 do not automatically constitute a consolidated business model.
