The production types
87% of the cars were produced by Tata Motors and Mahindra locally in India, however, the batteries were imported from China. 12% of the cars were brought through the Completely Knocked Down (CKD) route. The remaining 1% came as Completely built Up (CBU) import. The Indian EVs are still not favourable when it comes foreign trade until the country starts producing EV batteries under the PLI scheme. Our country still depends on various imported minerals or processed input materials.
GST support by the Government
Since the year 2019, the GST council has lowered the GST incidence on EVs to 5% irrespective of vehicle length. This has lessened the price gap between ICE and BEV vehicles in India. In the financial year of 2021-22 is estimated to be Rs. 891 crores. Imported luxury cars account for 9.4% of the GST support.
