India imports nearly 90% of its crude oil, making global supply disruptions a direct economic risk. But what if the country's EV transition is as much about protecting its economy as it is about reducing emissions?

At the FE Mobility Summit 2026, industry leaders discussed why electric mobility has become a strategic imperative for India's energy security. The conversation explored how electrification can help reduce forex outflows, strengthen the domestic energy ecosystem, address battery import dependence, accelerate charging infrastructure, and unlock large-scale adoption across commercial fleets.

Featuring insights from:
• Karan Jain, Founder & CEO, Carrum Mobility Solutions Pvt Ltd
• Deepak Nanwani, Head of Business, Yuma Energy
• Charith Konda, E-mobility Lead, Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA)
• Sumit Dhanuka, Founder & CEO, ElectriVa
• Aksh*t Bansal, Founder & CEO, Statiq
• Alpna Jain, Co-Founder & CBO, Drivn

As India works toward greater energy independence, the question is no longer whether to electrify, but how quickly the ecosystem can scale.

At the FE Mobility Summit 2026, industry experts highlighted that India's mobility ambitions need a reality check. Building more roads alone won't create a world-class mobility ecosystem. The focus must shift to human-centric planning, integrated transport, and safety by design.

Key insights from the discussion:
• Two-wheelers account for 75% of registered vehicles, yet mobility planning remains largely car-centric.
• Highways make up just 4.9% of India's road network but account for over 59% of road crash fatalities.
• Public transport integration, safer infrastructure, and better last-mile connectivity are critical for sustainable growth.
• AI, LiDAR, and Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) can transform transport, but only if supported by stronger planning and institutional collaboration.

Featuring perspectives from Alpana Parida, Founder & CEO, TVARRA; Dr. Eilia Jafar, Chief of Programs, SaveLIFE Foundation (SLF); and Sanjay Gupta, Professor & Head of Transport Planning, School of Planning and Architecture, New Delhi.

“India is too diverse for a single fuel solution; let’s admit this.” - Rajesh Kaul, Vice President and Business Head- Trucks, Tata Motors

At the FE Mobility Summit 2026, Rajesh Kaul explains why the next phase of trucking will be driven by Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), smarter infrastructure and higher productivity, rather than just upfront vehicle prices.

Key insights from the conversation:
• Why India needs a multi-fuel strategy instead of a one-size-fits-all approach
• How ADAS, AC cabins and safer trucks are improving driver welfare and addressing talent shortages
• Why electric trucks make business sense when measured through TCO and productivity
• How innovative charging infrastructure is making long-haul electric trucking a practical reality
