Aggarwal explained that new government policies in India, such as the e-drive scheme, are expected to boost sales of light commercial vehicles.

He praised the public transport incentive policy and said the aim is to introduce around 8,000 electric buses in India.

As the number of electric buses increases, costs will decrease due to economies of scale, and private operators are also likely to adopt them.
