Finding the route to revenues in electric and new  mobility

India is facing an enormous mobility transformation on during the next decade. In the coming 12 years, the country aims to ban the sales of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles and only allow electric vehicles in the market. Political leaders in many states in India have taken determined actions in terms of policies and development of the public transportation systems to achieve this goal. The private sector has drastically changed its voice towards a more positive and supportive tone in the past year.
