New Delhi, June 2: To help India cut down carbon emissions by a whopping 1 billion tonnes, the EV industry is expected to have 200,000 professionals in the workforce by 2030, industry experts said on Monday. The announcement of the new EV policy is a pivotal move in fast-tracking India’s green mobility goals.
