E-Mobility: National Mission on Transformative Mobility and Battery Storage
E-Mobility: National Mission on Transformative Mobility and Battery Storage

Overview

During the Global Mobility Summit held in September 2018, Prime Minister had outlined a vision for the future of mobility in India based on the 7 C’s: Common, Connected, Convenient, Congestion-free, Charged, Clean and Cutting-edge mobility. Mobility has the potential to drive our economy forward and positively impact the lives of citizens, both in urban and rural areas. Affordable, accessible, inclusive and safe mobility solutions are primary strategic levers for rapid economic development as well as for improving ‘Ease of Living’. Shared, connected and clean mobility solutions are increasingly becoming the key principles of effective mobility solutions across the world. Given its commitment to climate goals, India needs to adopt effective strategies to place itself as a key driver of the mobility revolution in the world.

Hence, there was a need felt to establish a dedicated multi-disciplinary mission that will facilitate cooperative federalism, extensive stakeholder and inter-ministerial consultations as well as implement an end-to-end policy framework for transforming the mobility landscape with particular focus on:

  • Manufacturing
  • Specification & standards
  • Fiscal incentives
  • Overall demand creation and projections
  • Regulatory framework
  • Research & Development

These initiatives will pay significant dividends to a rapidly urbanising India in the decades to come.

Composition

The multi-disciplinary National Mission on Transformative Mobility and Battery Storage, with an Inter-Ministerial Steering Committee, is chaired by CEO, NITI Aayog. The Steering Committee comprises Secretaries from the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, the Ministry of Power, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, the Department of Science and Technology, the Department of Heavy Industry, the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, and Director-General, Bureau of Industrial Standards.

Core Functions

The Mission recommends and drives strategies for transformative mobility and phased manufacturing programs for EVs, EV components and batteries. A Phased Manufacturing Program (PMP) will be launched to localize production across the entire EV value chain. The National Mission on Transformative Mobility and Battery Storage will determine the contours of PMP, and will finalise the details of such a program. The details of the value addition that can be achieved with each phase of localisation will be finalised by the Mission with a clear Make in India strategy for electric vehicle components as well as batteries. The Mission's objective is then to coordinate with key stakeholders in Ministries/ Departments and the states to integrate various initiatives to transform mobility in India.
