Harsh Malhotra Opens India Energy Storage Week 2025
India Energy Storage Week 2025 began with a special session in Delhi on July 10, 2025, where Minister of State Harsh Malhotra highlighted India’s strong push toward green mobility and electric vehicles (EVs). Speaking at Yashobhoomi, he explained how the government’s schemes and policies are helping India move toward a cleaner and more sustainable transport future.
At the opening of the session on India’s Roadmap for Vehicle Electrification, MoS Harsh Malhotra underlined the Modi government’s commitment to supporting eco-friendly transport. He said that schemes like PM e-Drive and FAME-II are helping in the development of a strong EV manufacturing ecosystem in India. The aim is to reduce pollution, promote clean energy, and make public transport better for everyone.
The Minister proudly stated that India is the fastest-growing major economy and is on the right track in its clean mobility mission. He also spoke about other helpful policies such as EV retrofitting rules and toll tax exemptions for electric vehicles. These steps are making electric transport affordable and accessible to common people and businesses.
Shri Malhotra also highlighted the work being done to set up Multi-Modal Logistics Parks by the Ministry of Roads, Transport & Highways. These parks will combine road, rail, and storage facilities and will now include green energy features and EV charging infrastructure. This will cut down logistics costs, reduce pollution, and boost India’s image as a green transport hub.
The Minister encouraged the EV industry to focus on local manufacturing, battery recycling, and innovation. He emphasized the importance of developing battery storage systems that fit India’s weather and road needs. He also reminded everyone that the nation is working hard to meet the Net Zero carbon target by 2070, a key goal set by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The government also plans to generate 500GW of renewable energy by 2030.
