EV car sales penetration in India may cross 7% by FY28: CareEdge Report
are projected to surpass 7 per cent of total passenger vehicle sales by FY28, according to CareEdge Advisory, as reported by
PTI
. The forecast is contingent on the timely resolution of global supply disruptions in rare earth elements (REEs) and the continued rollout of new models and charging infrastructure.
The report highlights that India's electric car segment, though still small in comparison to two- and three-wheeler electric vehicles, has seen significant growth—from just over 5,000 units in FY21 to more than 1.07 lakh units in FY25.
EV infrastructure, a game changer?
CareEdge noted that public and private efforts to expand EV infrastructure and reduce battery dependence on imports will be crucial for maintaining momentum. 'India is well-positioned to accelerate EV adoption, supported by model launches, improved charging facilities, and battery localisation under the PLI scheme,' said Tanvi Shah, Senior Director & Head, CareEdge Advisory & Research.
Public charging points have expanded fivefold in three years—from 5,151 in CY22 to over 26,000 by early FY25—helping address one of the key challenges to wider EV acceptance. Policy incentives such as the FAME III scheme and customs duty exemptions on key battery minerals are also expected to play a role in reducing production costs and supporting domestic supply chains.
While challenges remain in terms of affordability and infrastructure uniformity, the report suggests that with the right policy and industry measures, electric four-wheelers are on a path to stronger adoption in India's evolving vehicle landscape.

US tariff: Goyal to meet exporters in Mumbai on Aug 2-4
Leather sector exporters are expected to meet the minister on August 4 here. The official added that exporters from segments such as fisheries, engineering, IT, and pharma will also participate in the deliberations. New Delhi, Aug 1 (PTI) Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal will hold meetings with exporters from different sectors, including food processing, textiles, engineering, and chemicals, from August 2-4 in Mumbai to discuss the implications of 25 per cent tariff announced by the US, an industry official said on Friday. The US on Friday slapped a 25 per cent tariff on India, potentially impacting about half of the USD 86-billion Indian exports to America, while the other half, including pharmaceuticals, electronics, and petroleum products, continued to be exempted from the levy. New Delhi continues to be engaged in talks with the US to work out a trade deal, but will make no compromise on agricultural, daily and genetically modified (GM) products, sources said on Friday. For the sixth round of talks, the US team is coming to India on August 25. The sectors, which would bear the brunt of 25 per cent duty include textiles/ clothing (USD 10.3 billion), gems and jewellery (USD 12 billion), shrimp (USD 2.24 billion), leather and footwear (USD 1.18 billion), animal products (USD 2 billion), chemicals (2.34 billion), and electrical and mechanical machinery (about USD 9 billion). In 2024-25, the bilateral trade between India and the US stood at USD 131.8 billion (USD 86.5 billion exports and USD 45.3 billion imports). Export sectors that will be impacted by the tariff have urged immediate intervention by the government on the matter. Sudhir Sekhri, Chairman, AEPC (Apparel Export Promotion Council), said, 'We request immediate government intervention to offset this huge setback. Exporters have their back against the wall and will have to sell below cost to keep their factories running and avoid mass layoffs.' Indian shrimp exporters face an unprecedented new challenge in the US market, which contributes close to 48 per cent of their exports, Crisil Ratings Senior Director Rahul Guha said.

Evo11ve.AI launches AI coach portal to boost academic outcomes for CBSE students
Chennai, Aug 2 (PTI) Education technology company launched the 'Evo11ve AI Coach', an online portal designed to benefit the student community, an official said on Saturday. Targeted at students from classes 6 to 12 under the CBSE curriculum, the dedicated web portal aims to significantly improve grade averages and enhance academic outcomes, said Swapna Reddy, founder and CEO of the city-based in a statement. 'We strongly believe that with the right learning strategies and personalisation, children can learn anything.

It can tailor learning paths to address gaps and support deeper understanding where necessary. Citing a study which found that only 43 per cent of children aged 14 to 18 can solve a three-digit division problem and just 57.3 per cent can read English sentences, Reddy said that such issues can be addressed effectively with the right use of artificial intelligence. 'This unique web application provides a safe space for learners to ask questions, make mistakes without judgment, and access unlimited opportunities for practice and assessment through customised sessions," she added. As a curtain-raiser to the launch, recently conducted the 'CreAltive 2025' contest—a competition challenging CBSE students from classes 6 to 12 to harness the power of AI. The event recognised the most creative and well-executed projects, with 350 students from over 35 schools participating. Eighteen students were named winners, the company added.
