On 27 Oct, the Hyatt Regency in New Delhi will host the Autocar Professional India EV Conclave 2026. The day‑long event will bring together senior executives from Tata Motors, Mahindra, Hyundai, and a host of component suppliers, charging firms and industry bodies.
The focus will be on sustaining EV demand, improving ownership economics, and expanding charging infrastructure. Industry leaders will dissect how to convert early enthusiasm into steady sales, citing data from recent market growth and consumer feedback.
A panel on commercial EV economics will feature Olectra Greentech, Euler Motors, and JSW Greentech, debating cost curves and fleet adoption. Meanwhile, the luxury segment will be tackled by Mercedes‑Benz, BMW, Volvo, and BYD, looking at ways to broaden premium EV uptake.
Policy discussions will include the Ministry of Heavy Industries’ role, with Dr. Hanif Qureshi outlining the next steps in India’s EV momentum. The event will also touch on duty exemptions, local manufacturing incentives and how these shape pricing for end‑users.
While the conclave itself is a closed session, the outcomes will ripple through the market as automakers fine‑tune their launch calendars. Buyers can expect clearer timelines for the next wave of EVs, as well as insights into infrastructure roll‑out across metros and tier‑2 cities.
