Electric Vehicles — India
The 2W + 3W + 4W transition + the battery, ancillary, and charging ecosystem.
The thesis
India's EV story is 3 layers: 2-wheeler OEMs (Ola, Hero, Bajaj, TVS), 4-wheeler pure-plays (Tata Motors, Mahindra, Maruti hybrid/EV), and picks-and-shovels — Li-ion cells (Amara Raja, Exide), auto-ancillaries (Motherson, Bosch), and charging infrastructure (Tata Power, Adani). FAME-III subsidy + PLI + state-level EV policies are structural tailwinds.

Tailwinds
- • FAME-III subsidy continuation and PLI for ACC battery cells
- • State-level EV policies (Maharashtra, Delhi, Karnataka) with road-tax waivers
- • 2-wheeler EV penetration crossing 5% monthly (vs <1% three years ago)
- • Charging network doubling every 18 months off a low base
Risks
- • Chinese cell imports + pricing — sub-scale Indian cell makers vulnerable
- • Lithium supply concentration + geopolitics
- • Subsidy taper → demand air pocket
- • 4-wheeler EV adoption remains sub-2% — slower than 2W
