Maruti Suzuki Betting On Hybrids Cars Over Electric Vehicles In Clean Shift

ABP News  

Maruti Suzuki Ltd believes electric vehicles aren’t the answer to reducing carbon emissions in India, the world’s third-biggest releaser of greenhouse gases, at least not in the immediate future, said Maruti Suzuki Chairman R C Bhargava. India’s largest automaker reckons that vehicles powered by hybrid technology, natural gas, and biofuels present a better path towards a cleaner future than electric cars considering the nation generates about 75 per cent of its electricity from dirty coal, Bhargava said, as reported by Bloomberg. “The ability to get green transportation is going to take time in India because of the nature of our electricity generation.” India’s shift to electric vehicles is also much slower than other major markets like China and the US even though Prime Minister Narendra Modi has committed to making the country a net-zero carbon emitting one by 2070. As the availability of chips improves, Maruti expects to sell 600,000 compressed natural gas cars in the year ending March 2023 versus 230,000 units the previous fiscal year.
