India's EV policy has successfully driven vehicle adoption through subsidies and incentives, but now needs to shift focus towards operational support for commercial fleets, including better charging infrastructure placement, streamlined regulations, and financial frameworks tailored to fleet economics.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You will need to adapt your commercial EV fleet planning to new regulation and infrastructure that target daily operational viability, not just purchase incentives. Battery leasing and charging access are now critical factors for survival and scale in Indian last-mile delivery.
