India's
electric vehicle
(EV) growth is significantly slower than the top 10 global standouts, according to a recent report by Intelsense.
As per the FY24 figure, the
EV growth in India
was 27 per cent (YoY), significantly slower than the top 10 global standouts. India's
EV Market Share
was about 2-3 per cent of new car sales in 2024, well below the 5 per cent average of the top 10 nations.

EV sales
in India rose 27 per cent to reach 1.94 million units in 2024, mainly driven by two-wheelers and three-wheelers, which account for the bigger share of the market.
In the four-wheeler segment and

,
Tata Motors
, Hyundai, Mahindra and MG are the top players in the Indian market. However, they have not met the expectations in terms of increased market share of new 4-wheelers along with EV infrastructure like battery and charging stations.
Hero,
Ola
and TVS dominate the two-wheeler and three-wheeler segment in the EV sector.
The report suggests that, India's growth in the EV sector remains strong in absolute numbers, but there is a need to accelerate more to reach tipping points.
One of the major problems faced by India is that there is about 95-100 per cent reliance on
China
and other East Asian countries like South Korea and Japan for critical EV battery materials.
In order to deal with this, India is working towards the search of lithium Reserves. As of now, 5.9 million tonnes of lithium inferred in Reasi, J&K, which is one of the top 10 global reserves by quantity. There are Additional geological finds in Karnataka, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Jharkhand, and Rajasthan as well.
Additionally, there are various home grown Refining Projects such Lohum commissioned India's first battery-grade lithium refinery (1,000 tpa) in March 2025. Along with, Vardhaan Lithium partnering with Maharashtra govt to build a 60,000 tpa refinery near Nagpur (Butibori).

Robotics education:A 21st-century catalyst for innovation
As Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning reshape the digital world, their real-world impact depends on physical technologies—most notably, robotics. Robotics education is emerging as a crucial bridge between theoretical innovation and practical application. From smart manufacturing to national security, robotics is key to transforming India from a service-based economy to a technology-exporting powerhouse. With rising demand, robust government initiatives, and growing educational focus, robotics offers both financial promise and professional fulfillment. For today's students and professionals, investing in robotics education means leading tomorrow's tech evolution—far beyond just coding and programming The emergence of new-age digital technologies, especially in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) has led the world to emphasize these disciplines in a new light. However, while these technologies are projected to become the backbone of technological evolution in the coming years, their supremacy can only be established with physical means. For instance, AI's pinnacle of success could only be achieved through solutions that address physical challenges such as manufacturing, security, or construction to name a few. However, to undertake these challenges, integrating advanced robotics would be crucial. For India's abundant tech professionals, this highlights a real-life catalyst for driving their professional ambitions forward while also contributing to the country's overall development. India is already placing much emphasis on AI, however, to become a tech-sovereign nation the likes of Robotics would have to be supported massively. This can only be done via motivated participation in these disciplines from Indian talents, who must look beyond coding and programming to make India from a net service exporter to a net technology exporter. Additionally, the current state of Robotics in India also highlights significant financial incentives for a professional, with the added scope of becoming drivers of the industry in the country. At the same time, traditional colleges and universities are integrating Robotics as part of their curriculums. Furthermore, initiatives such as the Atal Tinkering Labs have proved to be a catalyst in this regard, being supplemented by the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 that has detailed robotics and STEM education in K-12 education space, creating a funnel for more advanced educational & research platforms. The objective of these introductions is clear — to establish a robust Robotics ecosystem in the country, that can be used by millions of talents, professionals and other stakeholders to drive the country's vision in the future, while also assisting them in garnering professional excellence and financial assistance. Robotics education: A catalyst for professional aspirations? While the concepts of Robotics are not really new, the emergence of AI is transforming it dramatically. The world is integrating the two technologies to create solutions that are not only superior but also transform how we perceive work irrespective of its functionalities. This is where trained professionals in contemporary robotics education will be of particular value to the national interest, while also bridging the present gap in the space. At present, a Robotics Engineer in India with a mid-level experience of 5 years, can earn up to 10 lakh per annum. However, it is a serious challenge for organizations to get professionals with ample experience and capabilities in the domain, offering a unique opportunity for talents. This concern can be essentially addressed by establishing a robust education in Robotics and its intricacies around the country. The Indian government and a few state governments are already working on making this a reality, however, the push must also come from traditional educational bodies like colleges and universities. However, this remains a long-term plan, and to address this concern at present, professionals can look to garner valuable training or knowledge via upskilling. The Indian EdTech space has already pointed this aspect out and has been offering supplementary courses that will help professionals hone their skills as per the industrial requirements. This can help professionals to integrate themselves into the industry by equipping them with era-appropriate knowledge, and capabilities and most importantly, creating a supply line of talents to the industry stakeholders. Looking Ahead The foundations are carefully being laid by the Indian public and private sectors for the creation of a robust Robotics ecosystem in the country. However, the long-term efficacy of the efforts will depend on the talents themselves, and their innovation will be the primary catalysts for evolving the space into a full-fledged sector to drive India's national ambitions. In the coming decade, more Indian talents must look beyond coding and programming, skills that would soon be engulfed with AI coming in as a more time and cost-effective solution and instead look for more innovative technological skills. Robotics would be the perfect suitor in this aspect and could prove to be the catalyst of the professional ambitions and financial incentives Indian talents are looking for in the long term.

Post Op Sindoor, India to fast-track launch of 52 defence surveillance satellites
NEW DELHI: With the need for 'deep' as well as 'persistent' surveillance of enemy territory being reinforced by Operation Sindoor , India plans to fast-track the launch of 52 dedicated satellites for the armed forces. It is also in the process of finalising a comprehensive military space doctrine. Phase 3 of Space-Based Surveillance (SBS) programme, which was approved by the PM-led cabinet committee on security in Oct last year at a cost of Rs 26,968 crore, involves the construction and launch of 21 satellites by Isro and 31 by three private companies. The first of these satellites is to be launched by April next year, with all 52 to be deployed before 2029-end, as part of the project being spearheaded by Defence Space Agency (DSA) under the Integrated Defence Staff (IDS) of defence ministry. 'Work is underway to compress these timelines to launch the satellites faster into the low earth orbit (LEO) and geostationary orbit. The three private companies that have got the contracts have been told to speed up building of the satellites,' a source told TOI. 'The aim of SBS-3 is to cover much larger areas of China and Pakistan, as well as the Indian Ocean Region, with shorter revisit times (interval between two consecutive surveillance sweeps of the same location) and much better resolution. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like These Are The Most Beautiful Women In The World Undo The space doctrine is also being fine-tuned,' he added. Parallelly, IAF is pursuing the case for three high-altitude platform system (HAPS) aircraft, which are basically unmanned aerial vehicles or 'pseudo-satellites' that operate in the stratosphere for long durations on ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) missions, as reported by TOI earlier. During Operation Sindoor, which saw intense hostilities with Pakistan from May 7 to 10, India used domestic satellites like Cartosat, as well as foreign commercial ones, for tracking military movements in Pakistan. 'We need to shorten our OODA (observe, orient, decide and act) loop. The faster India gets the 52-satellite constellation up in space the better,' another source said. India also needs to put in place its satellite shield since China is developing weapons like direct ascent anti-satellite missiles, co-orbital satellites, electronic warfare equipment, and directed energy weapons like high-powered lasers to contest or deny other nations access to the space domain. China's military space programme has expanded from operating just 36 satellites in 2010 to over 1,000 by 2024, with 360 of them dedicated to ISR missions. At a seminar earlier this month, IDS chief Air Marshal Ashutosh Dixit had stressed the need to extend India's 'surveillance envelope' while underlining the critical role of 'real-time situational awareness' in conflicts. 'We must detect, identify and track potential threats not when they approach our borders, but when they are still in their staging areas, airfields and bases, deep within an adversary's territory,' he said. China's creation of PLA Aerospace Force in April last year underlined its recognition of space as the 'ultimate high ground' in modern warfare. 'Their satellites have recently demonstrated sophisticated 'dogfighting' manoeuvres in LEO, practising tactics designed to track and potentially disable adversary space assets. They have evolved from a 'kill chain' to a 'kill mesh' — an integrated network that seamlessly interweaves ISR satellites with weapon systems,' Air Marshal Dixit said.
