Automotive and Electric Vehicles
Trilegal has extensively engaged with businesses operating in the automotive and EVs sector and has developed market-leading knowledge of their commercial and legal needs.
The automotive and electric vehicles industry in India is undergoing an immense transformation. Several factors, including urbanisation, mass production and climate change, as well as the recent global pandemic, have significantly impacted the dynamics of the industry, including in terms of regulatory changes. In addition to existing schemes which encourage the production and adoption of EVs, the Indian government has recently introduced several legislative changes to regulate the production and import of EV batteries, collection and recycling of waste batteries and the exchange of batteries in EVs. Further, the government has introduced robust guidelines to regulate and incentivise the setting up of EV charging stations in India. As a result, businesses need to upgrade their operating models to effectively counter the challenges associated with such transformations and leverage the opportunities generated by them.
