New EV Policy: Govt To Cap Investment Towards Charging Networks
- The Centre's soon-to-be notified electric vehicle (EV) policy plans to mandate foreign automakers to set aside only 5% of their total investment into the country towards creation of charging infrastructure.

- Foreign car makers can import EVs with lower import duties of 15% to 20% if they invest at least $500 million towards building a unit in India. The proposed rules aim to encourage companies to prioritize manufacturing over charging networks.
- The draft rules also mandate EV makers to achieve a minimum turnover by the end of the fourth and fifth year of operations to be eligible for lower import duties on electric cars.
