Need of 6,900 acre land, $9 bn investment by 2030 to set up EV infra: Report
Nearly 6,900 acre of land and $9 billion investments will be required by 2030 for setting up facilities for EV (electric vehicle) manufacturing, lithium-ion battery production and public charging stations , according to Savills India . Real estate consultant Savills India has released report 'Charged for Change: How EVs Are Reshaping Indian Real Estate' stating that the EV market in India has witnessed significant growth in recent years, driven by market forces, government policies, rising environmental concerns, and increasing fuel costs. The government has launched several initiatives to accelerate EV adoption and strengthen the supporting ecosystem. "An investment of $7.5 to 9 billion will be required by 2030, primarily for land acquisition and the development of facilities for EV manufacturing, lithium-ion battery production, and public charging stations," the consultant said. In high-adoption scenario, the required investments will be $9 billion while $7.5 billion will be needed in the case of medium adoption. The report further estimated 5,760 to 6,852 acres of land by 2030 to support EV manufacturing, lithium-ion battery plants, and public charging infrastructure. Srinivas N, Managing Director, Industrial & logistics, Savilla India , said, "Aligning with India's target of achieving 30 per cent EV penetration by 2030, the real estate sector is expected to experience significant growth driven by the rise in EV adoption." The growing demand for EVs will stimulate the need for multiple real estate segments, including industrial and warehousing spaces to support EV and battery manufacturing, EV assembly units, and the storage and distribution of EV components and batteries, he added. Additionally, the expansion of supply chains will increase the demand for strategically located warehouses and logistics parks, said Srinivas. "The government's role with several policies and various initiatives, collectively aims to establish a robust EV ecosystem in the country by fostering innovation, investment and infrastructure development while addressing climate change and energy security concerns," he said. Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH), in line with projections by NITI Aayog and the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI), estimates cumulative EV sales in India to reach 25.3-31.8 million units by 2030 - an annual average of 4.2 to 5.3 million units. According to Savills, this will drive land requirement of 2,009 to 2,467 acres for manufacturing facilities, with a built-up potential of 43.8 to 53.7 million square feet.

UK new car sales recover in May as EV discounts attract buyers
Britain's new car sales rose from a year earlier in May, marking the second month of recovery in 2025, amid heavy discounting by electric vehicle makers, a report by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) showed on Thursday. Chinese EVs have been rapidly expanding in the European markets by offering deep discounts and forcing other automakers in an intense price war that has strained their profit margins. New car registrations rose 1.6per cent year-over-year to 150,070 units during the month, SMMT said, the best May performance since 2021. Electric vehicles accounted for more than 47per cent of the total car sales in May with battery electric vehicle sales rising 25.8per cent year-over-year. "A return to growth for new car registrations in May is welcome but manufacturer discounting on new products continues to underpin the market, notably for electric vehicles," SMMT chief Mike Hawes said in a statement. The auto industry, already strained by supply chain disruptions and stiff competition, has been forced to cut prices amid brittle consumer sentiment, uncertain global trade policies, and the costly shift away from internal combustion engines. "The continued rise in EV registrations shows a growing consumer appetite for sustainable transport, further fuelled by the government's recent announcement to remove the need for planning applications for at home EV charging installations," said Jamie Hamilton, automotive partner and head of electric vehicles at Deloitte. Tesla sold 2,016 cars in the UK during the month, a 36.04per cent decline year-over-year, according to SMMT. Data published earlier this week by research group New AutoMotive showed a bigger 45per cent drop in the automaker's UK sales.
