India has introduced stricter regulations requiring local production of traction motors for electric buses and trucks, with full enforcement set to begin next year. The new rules aim to boost domestic manufacturing capabilities in the fast-growing electric vehicle sector. Manufacturers will need to comply by a specified deadline to continue operating in the market. This move aligns with broader efforts to reduce reliance on imported components and strengthen India’s position in the global EV supply chain.
