Transitioning from ICE to EV presents a $1 Trillion opportunity. Fortunate to have a fantastic team & 8 leading mobility cos in our portfolio (and counting!). Fund III is doubling down on taking us from the ICE to EV age.

FADA and SIAM are asking for a slower transition. But EV adoption is no longer being driven by subsidies or idealism. It’s being driven by unit economics, cleaner air, and the strategic need to reduce oil dependence. The question isn’t whether electrification happens- it’s how fast can we end the ICE Age.

The Strait of Hormuz crisis just proved what EV investors have argued for years — China’s EV boom let it cut 3M bpd of oil imports overnight. India’s path to energy independence runs through electric mobility, not just oil diplomacy. 🇮🇳⚡

@koshercockney The same Pakistan that sold nuclear materials to Iran?

@p_sahibsingh @narendramodi @AmitShah @NitinNabin @gupta_rekha @BJP4Delhi Only in India do we see one person doing the actual work and around 6-10 hanging around looking at him.

Every technology transition creates new infrastructure needs.
As EV adoption scales, the next set of opportunities may lie beyond vehicle sales: servicing, diagnostics, resale, financing, battery lifecycle management, and recycling.
The vehicle is the starting point. The ecosystem is the market. ⚡🇮🇳

Well said. Smart founders are now working on real problems to solve in energy, security & transportation!

EVs just crossed 10% of new car registrations in Delhi.But for most, it’s still the second car.
The reason? Not the vehicle. Not the price. It’s the ecosystem.
One app that works everywhere. Charging that’s reliable. Infrastructure beyond city limits.
Fix the ecosystem. And we end ICE Age!

[Kunal Khattar @KunalKhattar]

A useful reminder from Delhi's e-auto ecosystem: Consumers adopt technology. Operators adopt economics.
For commercial EVs, the equation is simple: fast charging, uptime, charger availability & TCO.
The biggest opportunities in mobility may lie in solving these bottlenecks, not just building more vehicles. ⚡

@jcrajan00 We are focusing on electrification of tractors - 🚜 savings of upto Rs. 5L a month since electricity is free to farmers.

UP is getting serious about EVs.
₹5K on 2-wheelers. ₹12K on 3-wheelers. ₹1L on 4-wheelers. ₹20L on e-buses. This is what full-stack state conviction looks like — every vehicle category, every use case covered.

BYD just overtook Tesla. Again. Chinese OEMs hold 5 of top 6 EV sales positions globally.
Legacy automakers spent a decade protecting ICE. Now they’re playing catch-up. The lesson isn’t about OEMs alone. It’s about building ecosystems. This is exactly why we back the full stack - infrastructure, energy & mobility layer beneath them.

Delhi’s EV journey highlights an important lesson: adoption isn’t driven by incentives alone.
Consumers switch when the economics work, the infrastructure is reliable, and the product fits the use case.
The next phase of India’s EV transition will be won not by policy announcements, but by solving the last-mile challenges of convenience, charging & service. ⚡

@cvkrishnan After @sidbiofficial FoF this is game changer for VC’s / Startups / Deep Tech in India. Best time to be a tech founder and build in India for the world.

@Indian_Analyzer I don’t want to pay taxes. It’s a democracy. I should be allowed not to.
