<h1>Foreign EV maker builds dealerships, service and assembly plant as municipal charging mandates and subsidies boost urban electric-vehicle market</h1> India's largest cities have rapidly expanded public EV charging and enacted local mandates and incentives that favor urban electric-vehicle adoption, prompting a foreign electric-vehicle manufacturer to establish dealerships, service networks and a local assembly plant. Municipal rules (e.g., parking-charger requirements), state subsidies, proposed national regulatory changes to extend vehicle life limits, and ongoing talks with banks to improve EV financing aim to strengthen resale value and credit availability. The manufacturer's investments include a 3S retail network, partnerships for charging and diagnostics, and a manufacturing/export facility expected to create thousands of jobs, positioning firms that localize production to capture growing urban demand.
