Ø      SELECTION OF THE TOPIC:

The electric vehicle (EV) industry in India is growing, but it faces some risks. One risk is the lack of enough charging stations across the country. This can make people worried about running out of battery power while driving long distances.

Another risk is the high cost of EVs compared to regular cars. Most people in India may find EVs too expensive, especially without good incentives or subsidies from the government.

The industry also depends on imported batteries, which can cause supply issues and increase costs. There is a need for more battery manufacturing within India.

Frequently changing government policies and incentives create uncertainty for EV makers and buyers. Clear and stable policies are needed to support the industry's growth.

Competition from big global EV companies is another risk for Indian manufacturers. Keeping up with rapidly changing technology and customer preferences is important.

Environmental concerns related to battery production, disposal, and recycling need to be addressed. Job losses in the traditional auto sector due to the shift to EVs can also be a social challenge.

To overcome these risks, India needs better charging infrastructure, incentives, domestic battery production, stable policies, consumer awareness programs, and strategies to manage environmental and social impacts.
