India is experiencing a substantial increase in demand for electric vehicles (EVs), with electric car registrations jumping 51% to 21,669 units and electric two-wheeler registrations rising 36% to 1,43,668 units as of May 27, 2023. This surge is attributed to rising fuel prices linked to the Iran war, prompting consumers to switch to electric options. However, the industry is facing a significant supply chain crisis, as manufacturers like Tata Motors and Mahindra & Mahindra struggle to keep up with the demand due to labor shortages and supply chain disruptions. Tata Motors, which currently produces 9,000-10,000 cars monthly, is aiming for a 50% increase in capacity, while Mahindra's production of the BE 9S electric SUV has been hampered by these same challenges. The situation is further complicated by prior shortages of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) affecting component manufacturers and a wave of migrant labor returning home due to state elections, exacerbating the labor shortage.
