The Air Quality Index (AQI) in many Indian cities has worsened in recent months, with several areas experiencing dangerously high levels of pollution, especially during the winter months.

Vehicle emissions are one of the biggest factors contributing to the deteriorating air quality in India. Enter electric vehicles (EVs).

The growing interest in green number-plated vehicles in India is more than just a fad. It reflects a significant shift in consumer behavior and government policy towards sustainable and eco-friendly transportation.

In addition to this, the number of fast-charging stations is increasing everywhere. Private companies and energy providers like Tata Power, Reliance, and Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) are playing a significant role in developing a widespread network of fast-charging and battery-swapping stations.

Why invest in EV stocks?

With the increasing demand for EVs, the stocks of companies involved in EV manufacturing, battery technology, and charging infrastructure are attracting significant investor attention. Government subsidies and incentives like India's FAME II scheme further bolster their growth potential.

These stocks span a wide range of companies—from automakers producing electric vehicles to manufacturers of batteries, charging infrastructure, and related technologies.
