      <p style='text-align:justify;'><b> Started by Thanking all the panels and ASSOCHAM Members, </b></p>
      <p style='text-align:justify;'>It\&apos;s been a different year 2020, has actually press the rest button for many sector not 
      only for Automobile. So 2020 is reset year to all the industry as well Electric Industry.</p>
      <p style='text-align:justify;'> Is India is ready electrifying the Electrc Vehicle, Where are we going as electric vehicle 
      is concerned. Electric Vehicle is contrary to the perception is not new. Knew in 18 
      hundreds a series is breakthrough from battery to Electric motor and to the 1st electric 
      vehicle. It all started from the start is inventor. Robert Anderson who invented the 
      first electric parots. You may not accept that as electric vehicle by today&apos;s standards. 
      Very true it was bulky and it was moving at a very low speed and 1835 the invention 
      moved to America, Thomas Devarport was created the building and 1st practice
      electric vehicle a very small locomotive which has moved certain a small load to a 
      certain distance.and then the whole thing came to Toyota prior to price which sole 
      18,000 No&apos;s in the very first Introduction. Coming to India, electric vehicle came from 
      a very modest and announced manner 1996, by scooter is there yes. With himself with 
      a name to remember the 1st electric 3 Wheeler launched in India and 1st electric Bus 
      from Chennai by name Ashok Leyland and very 1st electric Bus. India has over 15 
      EVM&apos;S 15 in passenger vehicle 13 in 2 wheeler and 7 in 3 Wheeler. 12 Commercial 
      companies and 17 Truck Companies&apos; the companies&apos; not in electric vehicle, but 
      generally in automotive Industry. Indian Automotive is presently 5th Largest in the 
      world and said to take over as 3rd by 2030. So when we talk about Electric Vehicle 
      Market joggling with a lot of terms that can be prototype, Charging Infrastructure 
      challenges batteries Fuel cells, Startups and new word is Recession. The electric 
      Vehicle component Industry is about 36,000 crore or 4.8 Billion Dollars and this is by 
      Sullivan 2025 and there are so many ASSOCHAM members in MSME Category and tier 
      1,2,and 3 category and so you are all looking for what will happen to the traditional. 
      So 1st thing AV Market Industry is classified into 4 major components sectors ectric 
      motors which is about 1,3 billion Dollar and batteries is about 1,8 billion Dollars power 
      electronics is about 1.47 billion Dollars and charging stations is much lesser 0.23 billion 
      Dollar. We have got enough expertise from the electric motor perspective and then 
      the batteries world over research phases is on we are no different and there is a lot of 
      papers written and technical information is being shared. As per world we are in 
      growing growth area. Power Electronics we have in south enough expertise in India 
      33,000 Engineering Institution out of which almost 35% in 4 states put togethere. 
      Charging station is an emerging area and a technological marvel but it is actually green 
      field. we have got network dotted across state Highways National Highways and 
      Interior India. There are 2 type of composition which includes scooter and bikes and 
      3 wheeler which includes golf carts, passenger Auto, cargo vehicle and we have 4 
      wheeler passenger vehicle and light commercial and Trucks and Buses, The pother 
      category is Technology category battery plays complete integral part of EV and lot of 
      charging stations. The predictions for the Big 4&apos;s about Roadmap delight and trust the 
      3 wheeler category both passenger and truck will take the line shade in 2025 or 2030. 
      The near future possibilities are faster introduction in EV or electrification in3 wheeler 
      segment then followed by 2 wheeler then Buses, Trucks and Cars. On Technology the 
      product life science of any product not new to the ASSOCHAM Members weather you 
      are in power train breaks or engine of motorsor any component of Automobile 
      Industry. Under research the Govt. and Regulatory Agencies and work with India 
      premier Agencies for certification and glonal automotive research center. And 
      Institution has taken big lead on research in EV Vehicles and happening many of 
      southern states. Charging Infrastructure has its own chqallenges like logistics as well 
      and land availability. The value chain of of auto components is divided into 7 pillars. 
      Skilling is very much needed for SME and MSME&apos;S goes in 70 20 10 formula 70% is 
      Electric Motor Batteries, 20% Vehicle Integration and 10% Management Institution, 
      SME Agencies. The take away from this webinar is EV is coming and going to stay. The 
      cost issue and the range barrier and charging time barrier you need to break this 
      barrier to be successful In EV area. Recommendation like Bank or Finance companies 
      to fund EV&apos;S, Universities to bring PG Courses, EV knowledge Parks, Component 
      Corriders. Technology Consortiums. Over all 4 Takeaways, are Focus on EV Scooters, 3 
      wheelers, focus on EV Sales, Focus on developing top 10 cities in southern states 
      changing infrastructure in top 10 cities. </p>

      <p style='text-align:justify;'><b>Key Note Address by Shri Sujai Karampuri, Director of EV & Energy Storage, Govt. of 
      Telangana.</b></p>
      <p style='text-align:justify;'>Talking from the state angle, we know the EV is a great opportunity for the country as 
      an Economy and this respect we have created our policy and recently we have 
      released it as an Govt. Order by the cabinet approval. What we have done is that we 
      have looked this step by step rather than come up with vision for the next 10years and 
      we have created a working document like 1 set giving incentives to a few members to 
      get udopted into the state will see the change in the attitude of the people and Govt. 
      might in the position to extend further. And the tab limits at the later point of time. 
      Right noe we are giving incentives as a Tax exemption on registration exemption to
      first 1200 2vehicles and first 20,000 for 3 Wheelers and buses but with a different 
      amount and 15% reimbursement on retro equipment for the Auto and 15,000 for the 
      first 5,000 and four wheeler we have started with 500 on 5000 cards and then light 2 
      areas also. Private cars has been divide into private cars and cab operators and private 
      cars also 1st 5000 and buses also. We have set of Incentives to the tractors also we 
      were told 1st of this practice. So this is for the people who buy or purchase and this 
      additional the fame 2 incentives receive from Central Govt. we have used this 
      opportunity to supply side also. So certain incentives have taken the current electronic 
      policy of the state and extended to EV. We are giving capital subsidy, Incentive for 
      setup of EV and even related manufacturing. In this 20% of capital Investment and 
      subsidy upto 30 crores and 100% GST reimbursement for First 7 years and power tariff 
      discount also.and different for manufacturing and charging infrastructure and 
      electricity duty exemption and interest intervention and transport subsidy and so on. 
      The two major bus plant setting up in Telangana investment of 1000crore each and 
      also 1st Lithium Ion cell manufacturing coming up starting from 1 mega watts upto 5 
      mega watts capacity and also similar two more companies is also interested in 
      investing. In additional to this they have created steering committee to take care of 
      the policy implementation for the next 10 years. IT Dept heads the steering committee 
      with various Directors and Secretaries. Steering committee is rnforcing some the 
      departments to work in co position. Drafted necessary guidelines for the appartments 
      Govt. offices and Authorities too. For installation of charging infrastructure withb the 
      lower tariffs and also planning to covert electric pools into easy charging stations and 
      also parking spaces to charging spaces for EV&apos;S. state is already operating 50 Electric 
      buses from city to Airport and right now up for business and about a weeks time from 
      now issuinf guidelines for Registration fee and Road Tax and other life term access 
      waived off. Regarding parks Telangana has dedicated 1500 parks for EV and associated 
      Technologies and craeated 500 acre park only to Lithium Ion and Charging 
      Infrastructure and also have the mobility cluster with the companies like Hyundai and 
      Chrysler for R&D and associated development and key words which is India&apos;s largest 
      prototype in the city. According to our vision we want to become the most Electrfird 
      state in the country through various policy measures and also stated that state is with 
      Energy Surplus.</p>

      <p style='text-align:justify;'><b>Suggestion for Telangana State from RK Mishra.</b></p>
      <p style='text-align:justify;'>Started with appreciation about the pretty quick in decision making and also white 
      compact state with a large metropolitan state with leading potentially from south 
      India. Purchase of Individual Vehicle is it a Organic thing. The Govt. priority are 
      creating a huge number of charging stationsin the city and where somebody will put 
      their car for 2hr charging is actually impracticle. And I have target target decision in 
      my office complex. I belive you do in the as well. There you can immediately bring 
      that and they will need your public infrastructure because they won&apos;t have this space 
      in their house or capacity to charge. ( First request).</p>
      <p style='text-align:justify;'> 2
      nd one will please encourage public by sharing essential 1st. and now the new Metro 
      and last mile connectivity The lowest side swappable battery, public by sharing 
      manual has around 10,000 bikes has alreaaaady running in, but still dosen&apos;t promote 
      that. Very easy to make by that. India makes every thing comes from China. So this 
      thing has to be involved.</p>
      <p style='text-align:justify;'>3
      rd one SME\&apos;S are very scared they think they will go out of Business espetially 
      automotive SME\&apos;S. Creat a Training Institute and work with NITI Ayog for this SME&apos;S to 
      how to go about it and Happy to work.</p>
      <p style='text-align:justify;'><b>Shri Sujai, Ans:</b></p>
      <p style='text-align:justify;'>Thanks a Lot and these inputs have noted. So definetly we have the option to change 
      the course and improve on our policy and that&apos;s what we have done. We have created 
      a living document, we have empowered the steering committee to add on. We invite 
      members to be part of it as a Invite Members. He also said will work ASSOCHAM team 
      how it can be part of it. So that you can direct us. Also will take the proposal of 
      Training Institute and want to see how it can forward and helping us through NITI 
      Ayog. Coming to next one we have fleet operators and trying to see how we can help 
      them. Current policy would help them and also need additional support from the 
      Govt. we are trying to see HRML to run some pilot program. </p>
      We look forward ASSOCHAM further and bigger support on the above suggestion.

      Agency, Tamil Nadu.</p>
      <p style='text-align:justify;'> From the state of Tamil Nadu, what the stae has been doing from past 2020 and also 
      state roadmap to boost the economy.</p>
      <p style='text-align:justify;'>  Tamil Nadu has rated one of the top 10 Auto motive hub in the World.</p>
      <p style='text-align:justify;'> 50% of auto mobile exports are coming from Tamil Nadu. The state has strong 
      backward linkages with Metal Industries, Capital Equipment, Warehousing and 
      service parts and also home for major companies like Mitsubushi, Ford, Yamaha and 
      also homegrown companies like TVS and Ashok Leyland. State is also home to 1383 
      companies of auto components. Motor vehicles trailer. During post Covid times Tamil 
      Nadu has done favorably well in terms of economy. Interms of attracting various 
      investment and today rank No. 1 in post Covid Investment much of them are in from 
      automotive and mobility space. Sighned MOUs with various companies. They have
      specific Auto Guidance, the team reached out to who are in traditional IC Engine to 
      request them to know about power trains and electric mobility plans in the future. 
      Reached about 80% of this companies. ( Auto Components) to moving through ward 
      Electric mobility. The auto components companies have already made shift to Electric 
      Mobility. Tamil Nadu is an ideal Destination for EV like Eshtablished Automobile Hub, 
      Emerging Electronic Hub, Leader in Renewable Energy and High Human 
      Development/Urbanization. All the Auto and Auto components Manufactures have 
      approached us for shifting electric mobility and approaching Govt to assistance with 
      respect to. Target Vision on EV policy. By attracting 7 billion dollar of investment in 
      electric mobility. Create an comprehensive eco system and creating 1.5 Lakh Jobs. 
      Guidence said, will have multiple workshops in different levels of mobility preparing 
      road map to the state. Inviting ASSOCHAM and other stake holders to be part of those 
      workshops and they could suggest advice and reccomandation. They have also have 
      supply side incentives also frim the Govt. by giving 15% subsidy on capital & 100% 
      Electric Subsidy for Ev Manufacturing parks and Vendor Eco System and additional 
      Incentives to the MSME Sector. The Chief Secretary of the State to decide on the 
      enabling infrastructure for EV and promoting it. So we will definitely love to invite 
      each and invite more Pvt. Sector participation in that particular panel. To gine little 
      background, Guidence is an Nodal Agency of the State of Tamil Nadu and we also a 
      single window system and also have Land information portal to assist Electric Mobility</p>
      <p style='text-align:justify;'> Q. Moderator</p>
      <p style='text-align:justify;'> What are the two threats Tamil Nadu see in leadership space about competition on & 
      Land cost in your opinion.</p>  
      <p style='text-align:justify;'>  Ans : Genuinely see to a larger extent not more about competition from splits in India. 
      Ex. We would have wish in Tamil Nadu about set up on Innovations in Singapore that 
      would have probably would have given terminology for assistance. And we lacked in 
      investment in Battery Technology. We should have EV cluster at the earliest. 
      <p style='text-align:justify;'> <b> Panel R K Mishra, Founder Director, Center for Smart Cities.</b></p>
      <p style='text-align:justify;'>Thank you and appreciate to be in this forum, </p>
      <p style='text-align:justify;'>India has an opportunity to be the world leader both from demand and supply point 
      of view without global alliance. Energy Suffiency in fact surplus and this is the way to 
      go. In EV there are very few players in the world who have the 11 technology and 
      there are few things required in EV where technology and expertise is required these 
      are 3,4 power trade battery, motor controller essentialy those are the kind. We are 
      working close with both state and center as well, and planning to bring urban planning 
      and policies in EV angle from the Dept. of Heavy Industries and NITI Ayog equally 
      important but the real role has to be played by State Govt. to attract these 
      investments and they have to be facilitator when the invest comes in. Tamil Nadu has 
      an huge advantage of restart capacity and even Telangana have a huge opportunity 
      and Karnataka also have strengths and Weakness and all the state come together this 
      will be more generic from my view. China became the powerhouse noy just because 
      of manufacturing supplier, they are also the biggest demand generators. That&apos;s the 
      side our efforts are not there entirely in the Govt. domain Talil Nadu should be 
      thinking to be all school buses should be Electric buses as they run hardly 30 to 40 Kms 
      a day where charging stations can be provide as they will be having sufficient time to 
      charge, by giving potential incentives and finance mechanism, essentially the leasing 
      mechanism. EV fund and Venture funds is an great idea for the Startups but how 
      about any fund help the finance the EV Buses those can be done by the state Govt. as 
      an funding agencies and this can happen through convincing the players and through 
      regulation. About the smart city concept, the GOI putting policy together metro in 25 
      cities, how metro will give mile connectivity. Demand creation will happen through 
      for 2,3 wheeler by share Mobility. Buses will happen through by 10% of the car sleep. 
      Regulation as a leader to create demand and facilitation to create supply. So my 
      request for the both states will be use demand generation and supply facilitation 
      through regulation and supply facilitation. </p>
      Thank You.</p>
      <p style='text-align:justify;'>Q. Moderator</p>
      <p style='text-align:justify;'> View on Last mile connectivity and pain points.</p>
      <p style='text-align:justify;'>  Ans. Last Mile Connectity comes from the urban context but most of the cities in India 
      don&apos;t have any public transport. So every metro station are providing their space to 
      share Mobility. As mentioned earlier, Daily metro is the best use metro. There per 
      hour is only 9000 passengers portably ever breakeven. Now Central Govt. is noe very 
      hesitant in sanctioning any metro unless city estates can justify and that will make 
      way to Pvt. Sector. There should be make for the shared mobility system for the public 
      in parking space and they are low cost vehicle, no need for Helmet , Registration and 
      no Driving License and approved by GOI.</p> 
      <p style='text-align:justify;'><b>Panel Sri. Varun Chaturvedi, Founser/CEO, Volttic EV Charging.</b></p>
      <p style='text-align:justify;'>Thanks for giving opportunity, there are two points to be discussed and the first on 
      depending on demand and the business is going to be sustainable where there is 
      demand and economic viability. And the second most discussed on charging time. 
      Demand is coming from fleet segment and they see economic viability 10 to 50 Kms. 
      Since we come from charging side everywhere discussed it is a challenging lot&apos;s of 
      people are complaining about charging infrastructure is not available buy same time 
      practically it is very high in India in terms of getting Infrastrutyre. So we require 8200 
      kilowatt in cities to make fast charging stations at the same time we required same 
      kind of Infrastructure. Volttic come up with a different approach we start putting our 
      charging stations by lying with fleet operators so that we can ensure demand. This 
      should be Business sustainable viable for a longer term rather than putting too many 
      machines and nobody utilizing. So we are developing this in very strategic location are 
      going to play a vital role. So now we are devlopin charging stations to the corporate 
      companies and this about demand either through Govt. Subsidies and the fleet 
      operators under govt. can be facilitated. Today lots of business are available for 
      MSME&apos;S so they can easily switch towards the skill side and lots of training is going on 
      Charging Infrastructure and from some pvt startups on skill education. This might take 
      time because every transition take time so with in 2,3, years we don&apos;t expect good 
      number of transition so this the thought process on this.</p>
      <p style='text-align:justify;'>Thank you.</p>
      <p style='text-align:justify;'><b> Panel Shri BC Datta, VP, Corporate Affairs, OLA Electric.</b></p>
      <p style='text-align:justify;'> Good after Noon, First and foremost we lack on facilities in manufacturing and we 
      need to think on manufacturing capacities and definitely it is the need of the hour 
      post that the govt. support is required. Even though the states are initiating on 
      charging infrastructure it is not taking it should that 1 required initiating requirement 
      definitely need to look at. The other thing we need look in trading and creating man 
      power in addressing in manufacturing. There is also MSME about the fear on old 
      business will go off but in the view it will take 8 to 10 years in automobiles on 2,3, 4, 
      and commercial vehicles. The govt. should make sure that the customers come by way 
      of compulsion. We should also insist the delivery apps to use the EV&apos;s. so that will 
      bring the boost to EV consumption. The people are getting dowm from Metro should 
      use the Ev to reach their destination and this should be encouraged by the govt. to 
      make sure the consumption going up. Environmentalists says should be done but 
      definitely from the industry view will take 10 years. And more than 50% will definitely 
      will be things are going. From The manufacturing side request to govt. to encourage is 
      the battery and major component of all EV and it has to be manufactured here so that 
      the cost comes down and becomes more affordable to the customers. The GOI has 
      been talking about replacing the older vehicle with new vehicle that is environment 
      friendly. So the govt should ask the customers switching from old to new vehicle 
      should insist to EV which will increase the number what we are talking about. As a 
      manufacture this kind of encouragement from govt. in all the areas the number the 
      purchase number will start increase. So we believe in the coming years from the govt. 
      the public who is shifting from old to new vehicle will ensure the EV. So we all 
      together will ensure that will worst cities in India will make Environment in India.</p>

      of heightened parts to automotive world we are largest automotive parts supplier to 
      all global in different segments. So when it comes to eletrictification, not only in 
      technology but we cover vide spectrum in bicycles and 3 & 4 wheeler to commercial 
      way in terms of technology in terms of light vehicle to 800 volts systems. To high light 
      2019/20 EV Coomparing to normal vehicle weight as 30 to 35% of the cost. The electric 
      motors the electronics circuit and including transmission roughly 7% of the total car bu 
      looking this the battery research should go on and we have to bring the cost 
      significantly so the vehicle can actually fly off. And the vision of this business is 
      something equal to know your existing gallery. About safety in the EV vehicle should 
      be there as they can catch fire as it is ranging from 350 to 600 volts. At this time I take
