PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry will be
organizing a day-long first ever mega “India Electric Vehicle Summit” here on
January 19, 2018 to promote and propagate as well prepare industry for a
massive roll out of electric vehicles on Indian roads and highways that aims at
to finding a suitable replacement for fossil fuel driven automobiles which is a
major cause to fermenting the air pollution as per current estimates.
The Summit is being supported by the Ministry
of Heavy Industry which under the guidance of the Prime Minister Mr. Modi is
committed for converting all vehicles in India to electric mode in next 13
years in which India CSR Network will also be a co-organizer with PHD Chamber.
In a statement issued here today, President,
PHD Chamber, Mr. Anil Khaitan said, “the time is now ripe for embracing new
vision and technology for greener mobility for better tomorrow. The day long
summit (leadership talk, panel discussion, and exhibition) will focus on
sustainable mobility drive amid growing air pollution problem and fossil fuel
demand and will be addressed by various regulators, technocrats and captains of
Auto and ancillary industry”.
To initiate and move forward towards
low-carbon transport ecosystem, the Summit is also designed as a national forum
for Electric Vehicle manufacturers, visionary automotive leaders as well as
policy makers, innovators, researchers and strategists from around the world to
leverage their collective strengths and exchange their information, innovation
and knowledge.
The Chamber is of the view that India, being
one of the largest and booming economy, this is high time to exchange the ideas
on how Indian automotive sector can contribute towards accomplishing India’s
vision and priority of replacing conventional vehicles to electric vehicles by
the year 2030.
The forum will bring key stakeholders of the
emerging electric vehicle market to put their views on key challenges,
concerns, and opportunities as well as their agenda on Electric Vehicles. Forum provides comprehensive overview on the
electric automobile industry in India. This would also provide useful reference
for drawing up new plans, reviewing trends and also in evolving marketing tools
and strategies.
Delegates will interact with like-minded
firms and stakeholder and discuss important aspect of electric car and two
wheelers, commercial vehicle opportunities and trends etc. The summit allows
electric vehicle companies to optimize their presence among stakeholders.
The summit is also aligned to the UN
Sustainable Development Goal of taking actions in providing clean energy and to
the Paris Declaration on Electro-Mobility and Climate Change & Call to
Action that calls for a commitment as stated, "With varying mandates,
capabilities, and circumstances, we commit to advance our work individually as
well as collectively wherever possible to increase electro-mobility to levels
compatible with a less-than 2-degree pathway.”
