Electric vehicles are becoming increasingly popular in India. Alarming levels of pollution and increasing fuel prices are pushing widespread demand for electric vehicles, making EV stocks the hottest trend.

Finding the right company to ride the wave could be difficult, as some companies have amassed enormous money and their valuations have skyrocketed.

With the recent arrival of Ola’s electric scooters, as well as the hype surrounding existing electric vehicle (EV) models from Tata Motors, MG Motor, Mahindra and Mahindra (M&M), Audi, and others, electric vehicles are fast becoming the flavor of the day.

Why there is a hype around Electric Vehecle stocks?

The government has set a goal of achieving 100% electrification by 2030. Given the early phases of adoption that we are currently in, this is a massive goal.

With the Indian government’s increased focus on green mobility, it’s reasonable to expect the electric vehicle industry to develop and India’s electric vehicle fleet to expand. Because of India’s EV market’s widespread acceptance and expansion, the year 2021 can be regarded the best time to invest in electric vehicle stocks in India.
