The report examines how India’s EV transition presents a transformative opportunity to mainstream gender equality in the historically male-dominated automobile industry. While technological shifts have made EV roles more accessible to women, persistent barriers remain including safety concerns, inadequate infrastructure, limited financial access, and social hostility. Drawing on comprehensive surveys and in-depth case studies across the EV value chain, this report presents strategic pathways for change spanning community interventions, institutional initiatives, policy reforms, enhanced skilling, financial inclusion, and targeted awareness campaigns. By treating e-mobility transition as an opportunity, India can leverage this transition to create a more equitable and sustainable mobility ecosystem.
