**CHENNAI, INDIA – January 3, 2025** – The Hindu launched a new series, “Climate Economy,” yesterday, focusing on the impact of climate change on various industries. The inaugural episode, hosted by Kunal Shankar, delves into India’s rapidly evolving transport sector and its transition to electric vehicles (EVs).
With EVs now accounting for 11% of new vehicle registrations, the series explores the multifaceted implications of this shift. The report highlights the creation of new IT-driven jobs within the EV sector, while also addressing the crucial need for reskilling workers in the traditional auto industry to adapt to the changing landscape.
The series also acknowledges challenges, such as India’s reliance on imported materials like lithium and cobalt for EV batteries, and examines government initiatives aimed at securing the supply chain. The “Climate Economy” series promises to continue unpacking the complex interplay of policies, innovation, and obstacles shaping India’s EV ecosystem and its impact on employment, industries, and sustainability.
