EV, Battery & Mobility
Electric vehicles, cells and clean mobility — backed by an ₹18,100-crore battery push.
What this field is
Electric mobility spans the vehicle, the battery cell and the charging grid behind it. India now offers focused B.Tech EV-technology degrees and M.Tech power-electronics / EV programmes feeding a fast-growing manufacturing base.
Why India is investing
The ACC (Advanced Chemistry Cell) Battery Storage PLI scheme carries an ₹18,100-crore outlay to build domestic battery manufacturing, and electric-mobility roles feature among the WEF’s fastest-growing jobs.
