NEW DELHI, JULY 03, 2026: UNION Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Bhupender Yadav, presided over the National Conference on 'Electric Mobility: Building India an Electric Mobility Hub for Viksit Bharat', as Chief Guest, in New Delhi yesterday. The Conference was convened by the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM), bringing together senior policymakers, industry leaders, automotive manufacturers, technology providers and other stakeholders to deliberate on the roadmap for accelerating India's electric mobility transition and strengthening the country's position as a global EV manufacturing hub.

The deliberations highlighted a need for policy continuity, stronger charging infrastructure, localisation of manufacturing, resilient battery supply chains, financing support and technological innovation to accelerate EV adoption and position India as a global electric mobility hub under the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047.

Addressing the Inaugural Session of the Conference, Yadav stated that India's transition to electric mobility is not merely about replacing one technology with another-it is about building a sustainable industrial ecosystem that strengthens manufacturing, creates green jobs and supports Prime Minister's vision of Viksit Bharat by 2047. "As we accelerate this transition, our focus must remain on green growth, resilient infrastructure, transparent governance and a circular economy that ensures long-term environmental sustainability", he added.

The Minister informed that the Government has undertaken a series of reforms to simplify environmental clearances, digitise approval systems through PARIVESH portal, rationalise compliance requirements and promote ease of doing business without compromising environmental safeguards. These reforms are enabling faster investments while ensuring responsible development, he said.

"India's future lies in moving from a linear 'take-make-dispose' model towards a circular economy based on reuse, recycling and sustainable resource management", Yadav noted. He stated that electric mobility must be supported by robust charging infrastructure, localisation of advanced manufacturing, secure critical mineral supply chains, battery recycling and resource efficiency.

Further, the Minister said that industry, policymakers and institutions must work together to build an innovation-led ecosystem that positions India as a global hub for clean mobility.  He concluded by saying, "Ecology and economy must progress together, and through collaborative action. India can emerge as a global leader in sustainable manufacturing, green mobility and climate-conscious development."

The inaugural session featured the presence of Nirmal K. Minda, President, ASSOCHAM and Chairman, UNO Minda; Nishant Arya, Chairman, ASSOCHAM National Council on Green Mobility and Vice CMD, JBM Group; and Saurabh Sanyal, Secretary General, ASSOCHAM.
