EVs still seen as second or third cars, says Maruti Suzuki; plans 100-city charging network to drive adoption
Agencies Maruti Suzuki eVitara (Representational) Even though the share of electric vehicles in overall car sales has inched up in the last six months, customers are opting for them largely as second or third vehicles limiting widespread adoption in the local market, a top executive at the country's largest carmaker Maruti Suzuki said. Partho Banerjee, senior executive officer, marketing and sales, Maruti Suzuki, said, 'The share of electric cars in total sales of passenger vehicles increased to 4.5% (in July) from about 2.5% last year. But the base is still small. Customers are mostly buying EVs as second or third cars, not as the first one. It is a chicken and egg situation, till the time adequate public charging network is in place, customers are unlikely to use electric cars as a primary vehicle.' Low utilisation of public charging stations, on the other hand, make it difficult for operators to invest in further expansion. Maruti Suzuki is working on setting up a network of charging stations across top 100 cities in the country to ease customer anxiety. 'Most car companies today are driving in EVs which have range of about 500 km. What we have noticed is also, most electric car owners prefer to charge their EVs at home. However, they do want access to public charging stations as an assurance that they will not get stranded on the road in the event the battery gets depleted. Equally important for adoption is the time required for charging a vehicle at these stations, and that these are in working conditions', Banerjee said. While Maruti Suzuki is focusing on setting up charging networks to smoother intra-city commute for customers, Korean rival Hyundai has announced plans to beef up the number of charging stations on major highways to make hassle-free inter-city travel for EV owners. Hyundai also plans to set up 600 DC fast-chargers across the country by 2032, Tarun Garg, Chief Operating Officer at HMIL told ET recently, adding that 89 of these are already operational along major highways including Delhi-Chandigarh, Mumbai-Pune and Bengaluru-Chennai. There are about 26,000 charging stations available across the country, as per data available with the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE). EV sales in calendar year 2024 were 99,165, according to data collated by the Federation of Automobile Dealers' Associations. Penetration of EV 4Ws in total car sales stood at 2.4% in this period. Overall, Maruti Suzuki has planned for launch four electric vehicles by the turn of the decade, starting with the e Vitara in FY26. The company expects EV sales to increase to account for about 15% of its sales by 2030.

Comprehensive land reforms needed for India to become manufacturing hub: CII
Industry body CII on Sunday pitched for comprehensive land reforms such as the formation of a GST-like Council to enable coordinated and consensus-based reforms and uniform stamp duty rates of 3 to 5 per cent across the country for India to become a global manufacturing hub. While protectionism and trade wars pose a challenge, India's stable policy framework, strong industrial capabilities, large domestic market and a young workforce, coupled with its reputation as a trusted and capable partner among many nations, set it up as an attractive investment destination, it stated. Productivity Tool Zero to Hero in Microsoft Excel: Complete Excel guide By Metla Sudha Sekhar View Program Finance Introduction to Technical Analysis & Candlestick Theory By Dinesh Nagpal View Program Finance Financial Literacy i e Lets Crack the Billionaire Code By CA Rahul Gupta View Program Digital Marketing Digital Marketing Masterclass by Neil Patel By Neil Patel View Program Finance Technical Analysis Demystified- A Complete Guide to Trading By Kunal Patel View Program Productivity Tool Excel Essentials to Expert: Your Complete Guide By Study at home View Program Artificial Intelligence AI For Business Professionals Batch 2 By Ansh Mehra View Program The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) has proposed establishing Integrated Land Authorities in each state, and also advocated full digitisation of the conversion process, besides suggesting rationalisation of stamp duty rates to a uniform range of 3 to 5 per cent across states. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Join new Free to Play WWII MMO War Thunder War Thunder Play Now Undo It also recommended that states should move to a conclusive titling system that ensures clear ownership. "The global landscape is undergoing seminal transformations, and trade and investment patterns are being reshaped by factors beyond cost. India has long harboured the goal of becoming a leading global hub for manufacturing. Live Events To successfully capitalise on these emerging opportunities and march towards the goal of Viksit Bharat by 2047, India must adopt a comprehensive and forward-looking competitiveness agenda, including factor market reforms such as land reforms," said CII. Further sharing suggestions on land reforms, CII said that a robust land reform strategy will not only boost India's manufacturing but also improve investor confidence, unlock rural development potential, and drive inclusive growth. In this context, it has made nine specific suggestions. "One, land governance in India lies largely within state jurisdiction, and the cross-cutting nature of land policy demands close cooperation between the Centre and states. CII recommends formation of a GST-like Council to enable coordinated and consensus-based land reforms," it stated. According to CII, while initiatives like the India Industrial Land Bank (IILB) are commendable, several challenges persist. "Currently, IILB is largely an information tool. It needs to evolve into a true national land bank that integrates not only land information but also allots land across states through a single digital interface. This would improve transparency and simplify land in acquiring process for businesses," it said. According to the industry lobby, another major bottleneck is the multiplicity of authorities involved in land-related processes at the state level. To overcome this, CII proposed establishing Integrated Land Authorities in each state to act as one-stop agencies overseeing allotments, conversions, dispute resolution, and zoning. CII also advocated full digitization of the conversion process, with digitally signed certificates and QR code-enabled third-party verification to ensure transparency and eliminate corruption. Observing that stamp duty rates in India remain high and vary widely across states, it said, this inconsistency adds cost and unpredictability for investors. CII recommended rationalizing these charges to a uniform range of 3 to 5 per cent across states to ensure standardisation while making transactions more affordable. It also called up states to move to a conclusive titling system that ensures clear ownership, thus significantly reducing litigation risks and unlocking land for investments, among other suggestions.
