Challenges in transition from internal combustion vehicles to electric vehicles in India by 2030

The goal of this study is sustainable development of energy resources by gradual shift from fossil fuel based transportation system to electrically operated transportation system. India is currently ranked 2nd in population index hence requirement of any resource is huge if we consider the size of the population. There is a need for preservation of non-renewable energy resources. India currently ranks number 3 in list of oil importing countries only behind US and China and it is the single most reason for deficit of balance of payment account. It is evident we cannot stop the usage of these resources but can bring substitutes so that the pressure on these resources can be released. This paper critically analyzes the challenges which can be faced in India on transition from fossil fuel based to EV's it also throws light on possible solutions to the challenges along with the role of Indian government in this matter.
