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 September 1, 2026, marking a significant shift toward self-sufficiency in critical EV components. The move could reshape supply chains and accelerate India’s push toward sustainable transportation.
