Niti Aayog member V. technology marketK. Saraswat said.
As the government wants to push the use of electric vehicles vigorously, Saraswat said the main challenge will be to reduce the cost of lithium

\"To be a global player in electric vehicle technology, we have to add value,\" Saraswat told PTI . \".
He said that it would not be helpful to just be the assembler of the parts and would need to \"build large lithium-
Ion battery manufacturing plant in India.
The member Niti Aayog said that at present, lithium-
Ion batteries are not made in India, so India has to rely on imports from Japan or China.
However, he said the \"quality\" of imported goods would be questionable.
Since the ultimate goal of electric vehicles is to prevent pollution, when the country turns to such vehicles, electricity must come from renewable sources such as solar or wind, Saraswat said.
The former DRDO president also pointed out that China needs to build infrastructure for charging electric vehicles.
\"Even if the petrol pump should be equipped with a charging station, we have to use renewable solar or bio-energy
Fuel for electric cars to charge, \"he said.
For the establishment of electric vehicle charging stations, \"We also have to create distribution companies and also follow the regulatory framework,\" Saraswat said.

He said India is working hard to transform batteries made by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO)
So that it can be used in e-commercevehicles.
\"However, it takes time to expand the production of ISRO batteries.
\"With the cabinet secretariat moving the electric vehicle project from the Ministry of Heavy Industry to Niti Aayog, the statement by Saraswat is of great significance.
The government is actively working to promote the sales and production of electric vehicles in the country through programs such as \"Indian reputation. State-

Last month, the company said it would purchase 10,000 electric vehicles.
According to Piyush Goyal, who has recently held a power portfolio, India\'s goal is to become a 100% e-commerce power.

Trade union transport minister Nitin Gadkari has asked car manufacturers in the country to seek environmental protection
Friendly alternative fuel, otherwise he will \"push off\" them.
\"We should turn to alternative fuels. . .
Whether you like it or not, I will do it.
I won\'t ask you.
I\'m pushing it flat.
For pollution, for import, my idea is very clear. . .
The government has a crystal.
A clear policy to reduce imports and control pollution . \"

President sherachi also recently pointed out that by 2025, the cost of traditional internal combustion engines and electric vehicles will be almost the same.
\"2025 will be a turning point, and sales growth for electric vehicles will likely be strong after that,\" the executive predicted . \".
