According to a recent report by Savills India, the country's electric vehicle (EV) market is poised for substantial growth by 2030, necessitating nearly 6,900 acres of land and investments amounting to USD 9 billion. This expansion is vital for establishing EV manufacturing units, lithium-ion battery facilities, and public charging stations.

Government policies and rising environmental concerns are driving this transformation, as the demand for EVs continues to surge. The report, titled 'Charged for Change: How EVs Are Reshaping Indian Real Estate,' forecasts that the real estate sector will see significant growth, with a heightened need for industrial and warehousing spaces to support this burgeoning industry.
