  • Battery cell and lithium price trends plus import/tariff moves
  • Charging infrastructure rollout metrics and utilization
  • EV financing rates and delinquency signals in 2W/3W segments
  • Tata Motors, Mahindra, TVS and Bajaj accelerate new-model launches and expand dealer EV coverage to lock in leadership
  • Charging/swapping infrastructure players (battery-swap, DC fast-charge) raise capex and announce expansion tie-ups

  • NBFCs and banks roll out targeted EV retail-finance products for 2W/3W buyers
  • Legacy ICE-heavy OEMs fast-track EV roadmaps or partnerships to avoid ceding urban share
