The move follows growing global demand for EVs and reflects the country’s push to strengthen its automotive industry amid rising competition. Industry analysts suggest the adjustment could incentivize both domestic and foreign automakers to invest in local EV production. Details on eligibility criteria and potential incentives remain under review as officials finalize the policy framework.
