CRU: New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) in India - Implications for Commodity Markets

LONDON, October 4, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Social pressure has resulted in the realisation that improving quality of life is critical for individuals and quality of life is now driving political decision making. Facilitated by advancing technology and the rising affordability of green technologies, we are seeing structural changes to both electricity generation and transport solutions based on new green policies that sit front and centre in discussions across the world at levels from international to city mayoral. Ownership of electric vehicles is no longer a specialist pastime, it is becoming an urban middle-class aspiration.

In particular, in India the automotive industry seems to be at an inflexion point. The Government of India has designated electric vehicles as its sole choice for mobility in 2030. This paper analyses the implications for the commodity markets involved in delivering this goal.

However, demand growth was much faster, at a CAGR of 13% in the same period, with exports also growing at a CAGR of 4.3%.
