The CEEW study points to this momentum as a pivotal opportunity to reshape supply chains and drive deep decarbonisation across one of the world's largest auto industries.
'India's auto industry stands at a turning point. To lead in a low-carbon global economy, we must decarbonise not just the vehicles we drive but the industrial processes that build them. Now, the push must be to create demand for green materials at scale, lower costs, and deploy cleaner technologies rapidly. The auto sector can emerge as a force multiplier for economy-wide net-zero transitions—but only through collective foresight, investment and innovation,' said Dr Arunabha Ghosh, CEO, CEEW.

Hybrids offer limited interim gains
The study by the Delhip-based think tank also explored a 'high-hybrid' scenario, where hybrids dominate initially before EVs become mainstream.
While this path could reduce component-level energy demand by around 7%, the report warns it would result in higher emissions than a direct EV transition, due to the continued use of combustion engines.
'Hybrid vehicles may provide short-term efficiency gains, but they are not a substitute for a zero-carbon mobility future,' CEEW researchers noted. 'Eventually, their share must shrink to make way for fully electric vehicles.'
The report positions India's auto industry as a potential 'force multiplier' in the country's wider net-zero transition—but only if companies commit to greening their supply chains, scaling clean energy adoption, and accelerating EV integration across their production lines.
