ELECTRIC CARS - CAN INDIA FEED THE WORLD?


Requirements of electric cars all over the world is shooting up. Global use of EVs is estimated to grow up from 10% in 2021 to 25% in 2025. The requirement of EVs in US is estimated to be 26.7 millions by 2030. There will be considerable demand for EVs in third world countries too.

Why India cannot make use of  this  bright opportunities ahead? We have no dearth of technology in automobile manufacturing. We have no dearth of resources or skilled manpower either. Then what we are waiting for? As per reports we have recently found a huge availability of lithium in Rajasthan. In February  2023 Geological Survey of India have located 5.9 million tonnes of lithium in Reasi district of Jammu and Kashmir. Lithium reserves also have been discovered in Jharkhand. All these findings put together makes India the seventh largest resources of lithium in the world. Deploy our resources including the huge man power for manufacturing of electric vehicles for our internal use as well as for international trade. This is the ideal time. Though we have the Maruti Suzuki car manufacturing plant in India with capacity of million cars per year, we are not producing a single electric car there. It is not known as to what force us to produce more and more petrol cars. If we continue to sleep we may sleep for ever. Wake up my country! Wake up my youth! Come to the forefront!

We may have to make some modifications to the cars we use in India. Since cars in US and in Europe have better engine power than ours we must add this to our vehicles. Another is to provide more safety factors and more comforts. Service and spares should be made available wherever we go. More important is, we must bring down the daye considerably. We may be able to manage this with a high turnover.

If we can ensure all the above we can enter into the world market right now. The Government of India may take urgent steps to arrange export of cars to as many countries as possible across the world. Let us remember that we have no time to lose. Let us forget politics for the time being and do something worth for the country.

DO WE NEED TRADE UNIONS ANY MORE?

Image
Finally the communist government have forced to impose curbs on the Trade Unions in the state to mitigate the unbearable actions taken by them. Trade Unions have come into being when employees were put on hardships by the employers. The time have been changed since then. Now it is our own government and our own laws. All safety, security and welfare measures are ensured for the employee of all types. No third party is now required to safeguard justice for employees. Appropriate forums are established for employees to register their complaints either singularly or jointly. Therefore, as far as employees are concerned, they do not need any assistance from Trade Unions today. Trade Unions are now functioning as power centres of political parties. If the government is willing to stand with the people, then they can ban all Trade Unions activities in the state/country. Trade Unions today make negative contributions to the economy of the state and the country as a whole. Infact t
