Even as some carmakers have launched EVs in the market, volume player
Maruti Suzuki has a different view and strategy. Shashank Srivastava, executive director – marketing and sales, Maruti Suzuki, doesn’t see a case for introducing an EV yet because, “you can’t make a definitive change to the environment without actually having the volume, without a practical, sustainable large-scale project of EVs. And I think that’s where the situation is at the moment in India.” Srivastava was speaking in a panel discussion to take stock of the Indian auto industry’s current status, hosted recently by our sister publication Autocar Professional.
