Scope of Electric Vehicle Financing by NBFCs

The adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is on the rise globally, driven by environmental concerns, and regulatory mandates. In India, the government has set ambitious targets for EV penetration, creating a significant opportunity for Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) to expand their financing offerings. The Ministry of Heavy Industries of Government of India approved the E-Vehicle policy1 (‘the Scheme’) on March 15, 2024 to promote India as a manufacturing destination for Electric Vehicles (‘EV’). The Scheme’s objectives are to attract investments by large global EV manufacturers, generate employment, provide Indian consumers with access to the latest technology, and boost the Make in India initiative. The Scheme also aims to achieve economy of scale, reduction in import of crude oil, lower costs of production, lower trade deficit, and reduction in air pollution. NBFCs can play a crucial role in facilitating the transition to electric mobility by providing tailored financial solutions for EV buyers and manufacturers.
