India's electric mobility journey has accelerated rapidly. From around 50,000 EVs sold in 2016, sales rose to 2.3 million units in 2025 — representing nearly 46 times growth over the period.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| EV registrations FY2025-26 | ~2.55 million units (25% YoY growth) |
| EV penetration FY2025-26 | ~8.6% of total vehicle registrations |
According to Vahan portal data, electric passenger vehicle registrations stood at 193,633 in FY26, while overall EV registrations reached 2.55 million units, a 25% increase over 2.04 million registered in FY25. EVs accounted for 8.6% of total vehicle registrations during the year.
Electric two-wheelers remain the largest segment, accounting for 60.1% of total EV sales in 2025, while electric three-wheelers contributed 31.6%. Together, these two segments represent more than 91% of total EV sales. Electric four-wheelers increased their share to 7.7%.
PM E-DRIVE is the current central scheme supporting electric mobility. Originally notified on 29 September 2024 with an outlay of 10,900 crore for a two-year period, the scheme has been extended and will now be implemented until 31 March 2028 within the same outlay.
As of August 2026, PM E-DRIVE continues through March 31, 2028 for eligible scheme components, but the terminal date for registered e-2Ws, registered e-rickshaws/e-carts and registered e-3Ws (L5) was March 31, 2026. The scheme supports electric two-wheelers, three-wheelers, buses, ambulances and trucks, and sets aside funds for public charging infrastructure and testing facilities.
The PLI Auto scheme continues to support domestic manufacturing of advanced automotive technology products, including electric vehicles and qualifying components. The scheme was approved with a budgetary outlay of 25,938 crore. Under PLI-Auto, eligible products must meet a minimum 50% Domestic Value Addition (DVA) requirement to qualify for incentives. As of 16 July 2026, the scheme had achieved certification for 154 products/variants across 18 applicants.
An electric mobility solution is not a single product — it is an integrated system of components that must work together seamlessly. The journey from component design to fleet-ready systems involves several stages.
Every electric vehicle starts with component design. Engineers define specifications for:
The design phase must consider not only performance but also manufacturability, cost, and the ability to scale production.
Once designs are finalised, components must be manufactured to exact specifications. This is where high-precision machining for the automotive industry becomes important.
Individual components must be integrated into functional systems:
The trend in India is toward integrated drive systems that combine multiple functions into a single unit. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) launched an indigenously developed 30 kW Wide Band Gap (WBG)-based Integrated Drive System (IDS) on 2 March 2026. The technology has been developed by Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) Thiruvananthapuram in collaboration with IIT Madras and automotive component major Lucas TVS. The architecture combines the motor and inverter into one compact unit, which changes packaging and thermal-management requirements compared with a conventional separated motor-drive arrangement. The development is relevant to India's efforts to strengthen domestic capability in advanced EV power electronics and integrated drive systems.
Before a system is declared fleet-ready, it must undergo rigorous testing:
The final stage is deployment and ongoing support. This includes:
Electric vehicles combine propulsion, structural, electrical, electronic and thermal systems. Key precision-manufactured components include:
| Component | Function | Critical Quality Parameters |
|---|---|---|
| Motor shaft | Transfers torque from motor to drivetrain | Diameter tolerance, concentricity, runout, surface finish, hardness |
| Motor housing | Supports and protects motor components | Bore alignment, bearing seats, flatness, sealing surfaces |
| Gearbox components | Transmit and control mechanical power | Tooth accuracy, hardness, surface finish, case depth |
| Inverter housing | Protects power electronics | Dimensional accuracy, sealing, thermal interfaces |
| Structural brackets | Secure components | Hole position, flatness, strength, repeatability |
Electric vehicles place demanding requirements on component manufacturers. The machining requirement changes with the component — a motor shaft may demand tight control of diameter, roundness, runout and surface finish, while a housing may place greater emphasis on bore alignment, flatness and sealing surfaces.
For motor shafts, manufacturing and inspection should address:
For motor housings, key focus areas include:
For gearbox and drivetrain components:
| Process | Typical Applications |
|---|---|
| CNC Machining | Motor shafts, housings, gears, structural components |
| Precision Forging | High-strength drivetrain components |
| Precision Casting | Complex housings and structural parts |
| Grinding | Shafts, bearing surfaces, gears |
| Heat Treatment | Gears, shafts and wear surfaces |
| Surface Finishing | Corrosion protection, smooth surfaces |
EV components designed for India may encounter a combination of high ambient temperatures, monsoon moisture, dust, uneven road surfaces, frequent stop-and-go operation, heavy traffic and varying load conditions.
These conditions can influence component validation requirements. For mechanical components, engineering teams may need to consider:
The correct validation programme should be based on the vehicle application rather than applying a generic "Indian conditions" test to every component. For fleet operators, this distinction matters because an EV component that performs well during short laboratory tests may still require additional durability validation before large-scale deployment.
Electric mobility components must meet rigorous quality standards. For OEMs and procurement professionals, the key quality indicators include:
IATF 16949 – An automotive quality management system standard used across the automotive supply chain. It can be particularly relevant where the OEM requires automotive-style supplier controls.
ISO 9001 – A broadly applicable quality-management certification demonstrating structured quality processes.
IATF 16949 can be an important supplier qualification criterion for automotive programmes, while ISO 9001 provides a broader quality-management framework. The required certification should ultimately be determined by the OEM, customer requirements, component criticality and applicable programme standards.
For precision components, the engineering drawing should be the primary reference. A buyer should review:
Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) verify that components meet the required dimensional tolerances. For shafts, housings and brackets, CMM inspection helps verify complex geometric relationships.
Statistical Process Control (SPC) helps suppliers monitor whether critical manufacturing characteristics remain stable. Process capability studies (Cpk/Ppk) demonstrate whether the manufacturing process can consistently produce components within specification limits.
Material test reports (tensile testing, hardness testing, metallurgical analysis) verify that components meet material specifications.
Complete traceability from raw material to finished component supports root-cause analysis, warranty investigations and corrective action.
Components should be validated for the operating environment — thermal cycling, vibration, humidity and functional performance testing.
A fleet-ready EV component supplier must demonstrate more than prototype capability. The supplier should be able to maintain dimensional consistency, material traceability, process stability and production capacity throughout serial production.
A practical evaluation should cover six areas:
For fleet applications, consistency is often more important than simply demonstrating that one prototype component can meet specification. The supplier must be capable of reproducing that result across production batches and maintaining the required controls as vehicle volumes increase.
India is making strides in developing indigenous EV technology. In March 2026, MeitY announced a 30 kW WBG-based Integrated Drive System developed by C-DAC Thiruvananthapuram with IIT Madras and Lucas TVS under the National Mission on Power Electronics Technology (NaMPET). The 30 kW power class is particularly suited for India's rapidly expanding electric passenger vehicle segment, including compact cars and fleet mobility platforms.
The architecture combines the motor and inverter into one compact unit, which changes packaging and thermal-management requirements compared with a conventional separated motor-drive arrangement. The development is relevant to India's efforts to strengthen domestic capability in advanced EV power electronics and integrated drive systems.
India's EV component ecosystem is expected to expand substantially through 2032, creating greater demand for locally manufactured motors, power electronics, battery systems, drivetrain components and precision-machined parts. According to the India Electric Vehicle & Components Market Overview Report by the India Energy Storage Alliance (IESA) and Customized Energy Solutions (CES), India's EV components market is projected to grow from approximately 41,000 crore in 2025 to 3.55 lakh crore by 2032, representing a CAGR of about 38%.
The government's focus on domestic manufacturing — through schemes like PM E-DRIVE and PLI Auto — is creating opportunities for Indian component manufacturers to participate in the EV revolution.

An electric mobility solutions provider helps EV manufacturers move from component engineering to production-ready vehicle systems by combining design support, precision manufacturing, system integration, validation, quality assurance and lifecycle support.
EV OEMs commonly source specialised components such as motor shafts, housings, gearbox components, precision pins, structural brackets and other parts requiring specialised machining, forging, casting, grinding or heat-treatment capabilities.
EV motor shafts may be manufactured through CNC turning, grinding, heat treatment and superfinishing, depending on the design and material requirements. Dimensional inspection and process-control methods such as SPC can be used for critical characteristics during serial production.
Key quality checks include dimensional inspection (CMM), material testing (tensile, hardness), surface finish measurement, heat treatment verification, process capability studies (Cpk/Ppk), and end-of-line functional testing.
Qualify an EV component supplier through technical review (drawings, CAD, materials), DFM analysis, prototype validation, production validation (control plans, SPC, capability), and SOP/lifecycle support confirmation.
CNC machining produces precision components such as motor shafts, housings, gearbox components, bearing seats and structural parts with the tight tolerances required for reliable EV performance.
EV powertrain manufacturing involves producing and assembling the components that generate and deliver power to the wheels — including motors, inverters, gearboxes and related mechanical and electrical systems.
Traceability connects raw materials and production batches to finished components. It supports investigations, corrective action, warranty management and controlled containment of non-conforming parts.
Design-for-Manufacturing (DFM) helps identify machining, material, tolerance, tooling and assembly issues before production begins, reducing costs and improving quality.
Domestic localisation can improve supply-chain resilience, reduce lead times, enable faster engineering collaboration, support prototype iteration, and reduce dependence on imported components.
Include the latest 2D drawing, 3D CAD model, material specification, annual volume, prototype quantity, tolerances, surface finish, heat treatment, coatings, inspection requirements and expected production timeline.
A fleet-ready supplier must demonstrate repeatable quality, scalable production, technical support, traceability, corrective action capability and lifecycle continuity throughout serial production.
Provide the latest 2D drawing, 3D CAD model, material specification, annual volume, prototype quantity, critical tolerances, surface finish, heat treatment, coating, inspection requirements, CTQs, PPAP level, and target SOP date.
Review the supplier's equipment list, current utilisation, shift capacity, tooling, process capability data, and ask for documented production validation results from similar programmes.
Yes, depending on the component. Precision automotive component manufacturers with CNC machining, forging, casting, grinding and heat treatment capabilities can support EV powertrain programmes when their processes and quality systems align with the OEM's engineering and validation requirements.
India's electric mobility ecosystem is moving from early adoption toward broader manufacturing and fleet deployment. As EV volumes increase, the supply chain must deliver components that are not only technically capable but also repeatable, traceable and scalable.
For OEMs, the selection of an Electric Mobility Solutions Provider should therefore go beyond a product catalogue. Engineering capability, precision manufacturing, material control, dimensional inspection, process capability, validation, supply continuity and lifecycle support all matter.
For mechanical EV components such as motor shafts, housings, gearbox parts, brackets and structural components, manufacturing processes including CNC machining, grinding, precision forging, casting and heat treatment can play an important role when matched to the component's engineering requirements.
Government initiatives supporting EV adoption and domestic manufacturing are also increasing the importance of localisation and supply-chain resilience. At the same time, OEMs should continue to qualify suppliers on measurable technical and quality criteria rather than relying only on manufacturing claims or certifications.
For component manufacturers, the opportunity is to participate in EV programmes where their machining, forging, casting, heat-treatment and inspection capabilities match the OEM's engineering and validation requirements.
The most useful question for an EV procurement team is therefore simple:
Can the supplier manufacture the required component consistently, verify it objectively, scale production and support the programme throughout its lifecycle?
That is the standard a fleet-ready electric mobility supply chain should be built around.
