About The Event

This is the Gujarat Chapter of India's Biggest Electric Vehicles and Battery Industry Business Conference series by EV Update Media! An event that will help you connect, learn, network and grow!!
Gujarat is rapidly emerging as a leader in India's EV industry, backed by progressive policies, major investments, and expanding infrastructure. The Gujarat EV Policy 2021 aims for 200,000 EV sales by 2025, offering subsidies of up to ₹1,50,000 and a 25% capital subsidy for commercial charging stations. A 5% tax rebate has further reduced EV costs, making them more accessible. The state has attracted major industry players, with Tata setting up a 20 GWh lithium-ion gigafactory. Charging infrastructure is growing fast as well, with over 500 stations planned through government and private initiatives. Companies like Reliance, Maruti Suzuki, and MG Motor are also expanding EV production in the state. This conference will bring together key stakeholders, industry leaders, and policymakers to discuss EV manufacturing, battery technology, fleet management, charging infrastructure, and more.
