What happened

Revolt (RattanIndia Enterprises) · EV manufacturers say success of Delhi's EV policy hinges on affordable financing, low down payments and easy EMIs to widen

Why this matters

Consider acquisitions or JVs in EV-focused financing and service-infrastructure players to close the affordability gap that manufacturers like Revolt, Youdha, Kinetic Green and Oben are flagging as the adoption bottleneck.

What to watch

  • Announcement of OEM-NBFC financing schemes or revised EMI/down-payment terms
  • RBI or state moves on EV priority-sector lending or interest subvention
  • Delhi EV policy v2.0 details on financing incentives
  • Monthly two/three-wheeler EV registration trends in Delhi-NCR
  • After-sales network expansion announcements from Revolt, Kinetic Green, Oben
  • OEMs announce captive financing arms or NBFC tie-ups with sub-10% down payment offers
  • Expansion of service and battery-swap networks across NCR to de-risk lender exposure
  • Lobbying for priority-sector lending status and interest subvention on EV two/three-wheelers
  • Fleet and gig-platform bulk financing deals (Zomato, Swiggy, Zypp) to anchor volumes
