Chennai, often dubbed the ‘Automobile Capital of India’ and ‘Detroit of Asia,’ provides an ideal setting for this event. Tamil Nadu plays a crucial role in India’s automotive industry, contributing 35% of the country’s auto components and hosting major manufacturers like Hyundai Motors, BMW, Daimler, and Ashok Leyland. The city’s strong industrial base makes it a fitting backdrop for the 5th India International EV Show.
India’s electric vehicle market is experiencing rapid growth, with sales surpassing 1.7 million units in the 2024 fiscal year. According to JMK Research & Analytics, EV sales in India are projected to rise by 66% in 2024, with the market share in the passenger car segment expected to double. This growth is fueled by supportive government policies, advancements in battery technology, and increasing consumer interest.
In addition to the exhibition, the event will feature the EV DYNAMICS Conference on September 7th, with presentations and discussions led by ministry officials, industry associations, and EV manufacturers. The conference will include four panel discussions and other investment-focused sessions with 40 speakers.
