Indian Automakers just topped the world in EV efficiency. Not Tesla. Not BYD. Tata and Mahindra. Among the world's 22 largest automakers, Tata Motors and Mahindra posted the lowest energy consumption per km in 2025, beating Tesla and BYD on efficiency. Indian engineering, built for Indian roads, is now setting the global benchmark. Study and Chart credit: @TheICCT & @restofworld @TataMotors @Mahindra_Auto

✅How the 2026 Fuel Crisis is Rewiring India’s Passenger Vehicle Market📈 ✅EVs are growing. CNG is still strong. Diesel is fading. Hybrids are not gaining traction. ✅The big story: Alternate powertrain options are grabbing share from the traditional ones

“Incentives are important, but they only drive the initial push. It's the regulation that can shape the market. In India’s case, we must lead the #EV transition rather than following it,” said @amitbhatt4u, @TheICCT in response to remarks by @udaykotak, Founder, @KotakBankLtd, underscoring the need to accelerate the shift towards #ElectricMobility through a stronger and more effective regulatory framework.

The ongoing West Asia crisis is an important warning on India’s energy dashboard. India imports over 87% of its crude oil requirements. This crisis can be a huge opportunity.  A five-point agenda, comprising 100% electrification of two- and three-wheelers by 2030, CAFE-3, electrification of buses and trucks, a Right to Charge, and a Bharat battery ecosystem, is what the country needs right now. These measures must move together.   Delivering transformational change at scale is not new to India. It has done so before: Jan Dhan Yojana, UPI, solar energy, vaccination, and the shift from Euro IV to Euro VI while bypassing Euro V, among others. What is needed now is a similar level of clarity and execution in the EV transition. Today’s decisive action will shape supply chains, capital flows, and technological leadership for decades to come.  My edit piece in today’s HT:

This is what Majority chargers installed by Govt agencies are good for - To boast about the numbers and for babus to write in their files. Not even 20% of the claimed 27,432 OMC chargers are working properly 🤦🏻‍♂️. A good portion isn't energised and others simply don't work.
