The Indian Central Government on 10th November 2021 launched the e-AMRIT portal in the COP26 Summit in Glasgow, UK. This portal is managed by NITI Aayog. Moreover, it is the outcome of the UK-India Joint Roadmap 2030 which was signed by the Prime Ministers of both the countries.
What is e-AMRIT?
e-AMRIT is a portal for Indian EV (electric vehicle) enthusiasts. It has been launched by the government as a medium to create awareness on adoption of EVs. Additionally, this portal gives valuable information regarding various queries surrounding EVs. e-AMRIT stands for ‘Accelerated e-Mobility Revolution for India’s Transportation’.
The portal starts with the prime minister’s quote “The World Is Now In The Middle Of A New Mobility Revolution”. This clearly is to make people aware of India’s EV revolution vision aimed at a better future. You can also go through the list of Top 5 Best Electric Scooters in India 2021 with Comparison.
e-AMRIT Portal Highlights
Next up, the portal gives key highlights on why people should adopt EVs as shown below.
- Electric Vehicles are Simple : lightweight | hassle-free | easy to refill
- Electric Vehicles are Safe : around 0.006% of EVs have caught fire compared to 0.07% of internal combustion vehicles (report by NFPA, U.S.)
- Best for Daily Commute : Top Up-basis recharge | upto 60-110 km on single chargejoin DesiDime telegram for fast Deals
- Electric Vehicles are Cost-effective : High competition so reduced prices (2&3 wheelers) | 4-wheeler commercial EVs are economical | reduced battery prices (future prediction)
- Convenient EV Charging : Indian Power Ministry promises at least 1 EV charging station in every 3x3 km grid in urban areas | EV fast charging technology in works
Staggering EV Numbers shared by the Government. You can also check Ola Electric Scooters Launched in India: Price, Online Reservation, Pre-Book, and other details.

asking the real questions here. they don’t take action on stubble burning farmers but launch such portals to show off.

I dont know how EVs can reduce the pollution in india?
Many people do not know that in india 70-80% of electricity is generated through non-convential sources of energy primarly coal.
So essentially coal will use polluting the env instead of Petrol in addition to pollution created while manufacture of batteries (toxic chemcials)
P.S. I am a fan of EVs. But Govt. Should work on solar energy more as of now.
https://www.desidime.com/news/government-launches-e-amrit-to-boost-electric-vehicle-awareness?page=1#post_8080991
relax. there was a recent study that confirmed that even coal generated electricity is far better than burning oil. so electric is good for now. just that we have to reduce dependency on foreign companies for the components.

Govt is already working in Solar Energy, every weeks we heard new solar park construct news, Floating Solar power now also started in India,
but govt should focus on Wind Energy. Solar power only work in day time and also not working in cloudy weather or rainy season.
Offshore wind farms is the best solution (you get clean and stable air in ocean) -
New design single turbine now give 12 MW power and recently Siemens claim their upcoming turbine give 15 MW power (single turbine).
3rd thing – Hydro power, Govt should build more Hydro power Dams and also install Floating Solar panels on Hydro dams.
4th thing – National grid, High voltage Direct Current (HVDC). The biggest drawback currently in renewable energy is that we shut down our renewable energy power plant most of the time. If we connect every Indian states with HVDC link then we won’t need to shut down our renewable energy power plant during off peak or peak hours.

Solar needs more land. New technology and invention like transperant panels and flexible panels can do the work.
But main question where you will store energy?
Battery costs high, rare elements of Earth’s, produce more pollution.
Similar situation for wind farming.
Hydro power is a waste, and there are more disadvantages.

unless the technology matures, there is nothing much we can see in the upcoming days. battery costs are high for now. things are ok but what about the power? do we have enough electricity to power millions of vehicles? do we have that network planned? do we have alternate methods to generate electricity? it seems to me that we have just jumped into the western narrative a little too early. it takes a generation or 2 to switch completely. in between hybrid vehicles are a really good bridge. but we have chosen to abandon them overnight. vehicles like prius could have been wonderful alternatives meanwhile.

CNG is such a clean fuel and govt never rolled out pumps in sufficient numbers for last decade for people to benefit .
Electric is no different.
Just a new way to burn tax payers money on advertisement with a smiley face of a man.

More pollution by EV, indirectly, due to lithium battery.

Well now you guys know why Gov is hell bent on raising fuel prices to record levels. Instead of giving discounts on EV vehicles, they have made sure people pay the price to buy non ev. Now they can easily compare the running costs and show you the profits you will make.
- Car Companies happy (they will get fast ev adapters)
- Government happy because of fast filling coffers.
- Citizens happy : to calculate the energy savings
- environmentalist happy : ev adaptation more
Etc..
I will say it’s an invisible master stroke, whoever is in the think tank, I will appreciate this.
