The Indian government aims to help develop the country’s fledgling electric car industry by lowering its import tariffs on EV components to 15% from 30%.
The plan, which took effect on Jan. 30, also reduces duties to 10% for knocked-down powertrain kits that include the battery, motor, brakes and power control system ready to be mounted on a chassis.
