New Delhi, Sept 10 (KNN) The Society of Manufacturers of Electric Vehicles (SMEV) has stressed on making the local supply chains stronger for a sustainable EV ecosystem in India. 

The manufacturers requested people on World EV Day to support the cause of green mobility.

"The overwhelming response from the citizens has outpaced the supply side of OEMs. As we move forward with the aim of making India an EV hub, it's imperative that all stakeholders are in harmony so a solid logistical foundation can be built for the industry," SMEV Director General Sohinder Gill said in a statement. 

SMEV invited industry stakeholders and players to jointly make efforts towards strengthening the local supply chain market.

The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) and International Council for Clean Transportation (ICCT) appreciated Delhi government's action plan to install 18,000 new charging stations by 2024.

World EV Day is observed on September 9 every year in order to educate people about the need for electric vehicles.  (KNN Bureau)
