Why metros lag in e-3W adoption in India: Suman Mishra on EV policies & M&M's latest e-LCV

In this conversation with ETAuto, Suman Mishra, MD & CEO, Mahindra Last Mile Mobility, explains the structural and policy bottlenecks slowing EV adoption in metros, even as Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities cross 35 per cent electrification in the three-wheeler segment. She highlights key challenges such as limited home charging access for drivers, parking constraints, and permit-related restrictions that delay EV registrations. Mishra calls for stronger state-level coordination to accelerate electrification where it matters most — urban centres battling congestion and pollution. The discussion also touches upon Mahindra’s broader last-mile electrification strategy, including its latest electric platforms and light commercial vehicle ambitions. Mishra reiterates that Mahindra Last Mile Mobility will not introduce new ICE products and remains committed to electrifying sub-2-tonne categories. From policy gaps and charging infrastructure to market expansion and product positioning, this interview offers a ground-level view of what is holding back metro EV adoption — and what needs to change.
