India has committed itself to increasing the number of Electric Vehicles (EVs) in its motor fleet with a slew of supply and demand side measures to boost their uptake. This White Paper considers the role Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology can play in driving EV adoption in the country. V2G has emerged as a novel value stream for EV owners and represents a potential global opportunity worth USD 17.43 billion. With India heightening its efforts towards a shared, electric and connected future, this paper locates V2G as a potentially disruptive instrument in achieving India’s adoption targets. The paper outlines a range of principles to guide future policy action in this domain and show the way for further research, collaboration and innovation.
