Toward a sustainable value chain for electric vehicles in India
Toward a sustainable value chain for electric vehicles in India
India’s e-mobility space has seen rapid growth driven by the demand for cleaner transportation and is estimated to have 10 million electric vehicles (EVs) on the road by 2030. As the country aims to establish an EV value chain in India, environmental and social risks plaguing the value chain worldwide pose a significant challenge to India’s sustainability goals in the Indian government’s vision for 2030. This Viewpoint analyzes these risks and recommends an integrated approach by stakeholders to proactively tackle the challenges to sustainability in the EV value chain.
Lost in translation
Despite two decades of accumulated experience, the majority of digital transformations still fail to meet expectations. The root causes typically relate to the often-difficult relationship between business and IT functions, resulting in the original strategic aims getting “lost in translation” during execution. In this Viewpoint, we explore how setting up a value office can help overcome common problems by tracking defined value and ensuring realization — leading to successful execution of the strategy.
E-mobility: Cell manufacturing in India
India is one of the largest automotive markets in the world, with demand only expected to rise in the coming years. With government’s push and increasing customer acceptance, electric vehicles (EVs) are gaining significant traction. However, for EV batteries, India remains largely dependent on imported lithium-ion (Li-ion) cells owing to limited local manufacturing capacity and a scarcity of raw materials.
