Abstract

With India being one of the most populous countries in the world. Road Transportation is a significant mode of commutation, and the majority of the market is dominated by gasoline and diesel vehicles. Growing concern for the environment makes it necessary to switch to a much safer mode of transportation, i.e., Electric Vehicles. However, Electric Vehicles do not occupy a consistent share in the Indian Market. This paper tries to identify barriers to EV adoption and their relative significance so that appropriate focus can be given in the future to those barriers which can facilitate the further inclusion of Electric vehicles in the Indian market.
