Electric cars in India have been finding an increasing footprint. Rising demand for cleaner propulsion systems, sky-high price of fossil fuels, and influx of new models in the country's electric passenger vehicles market have been fuelling the growth of electric cars in India. While many consumers are still sceptical about EVs, many have started positively adopting electric vehicles.
