In this episode of CAM Radio, Our Partner Surya Sreenivasan and Dr. Sudhir Mehta, Chairman of EKA Mobility, discuss the economics, policy, and innovation powering India’s electric mobility revolution. Dr. Mehta argues that going green is no longer about goodwill — it’s about good business. Backed by hard data, he explains why the EV movement represents the most transformative and profitable industrial shift India has seen in nearly a century.
From India’s Panchamrit goals announced at COP26 to the government’s Make in India EV roadmap, this conversation connects the dots between sustainability, national strategy, and private enterprise. Dr. Mehta dives deep into how falling solar power costs, cheaper battery storage, and a robust policy ecosystem are creating the perfect inflection point for clean mobility. He also challenges conventional wisdom around subsidies — explaining how public transport electrification, particularly in buses and heavy commercial vehicles, is already financially self-sustaining with payback periods of just 2–4 years. For India, this isn’t just about achieving net zero — it’s about making green the new growth engine.
