New Delhi: The Ministry of Heavy Industries convened a high-level Chintan Shivir on \u201cAlternate & Emerging Technologies in E-Motors\u201d on Friday at Vigyan Bhawan, bringing together industry leaders, domain experts, academic researchers, and technology innovators to deliberate on advancing India\u2019s electric mobility ecosystem. The event served as a platform for knowledge exchange and strategic dialogue, focusing on cleaner, greener, and more efficient electric motor technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Chintan Shivir featured extensive discussions on breakthrough innovations, sustainable technologies, and emerging trends in e-motors, with particular attention to supply chain resilience, indigenous manufacturing capabilities, and self-reliance. Participants explored the potential of alternate motor technologies and ancillary solutions, highlighting key motor types including Induction Motors, Switched Reluctance Motors (SRMs), Wound-Field Synchronous Motors (WFSMs), Permanent-Magnet-Assisted Synchronous Reluctance Motors (PMA-SRMs), and motors using ferrite or other non-rare-earth materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A central focus of the event was the development of a nationally aligned roadmap for alternate motor technologies, with segment-wise prioritization across two-wheelers, three-wheelers, passenger cars, buses, and commercial vehicles. Discussions identified short, medium, and long-term technology options based on factors such as maturity, cost, and performance, underscoring a strategic approach to India\u2019s e-mobility ambitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kamran Rizvi, Secretary of the Ministry of Heavy Industries, emphasized that the Chintan Shivir\u2019s objectives extend beyond addressing rare-earth magnet supply concerns. He stressed the need for India to develop next-generation electric motors that are lighter, more efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally sustainable, aiming to position the country as a global leader in the evolving electric vehicle sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The event concluded with a unified commitment from industry bodies, academic and research institutions, and other stakeholders to collaborate in advancing India\u2019s automotive technology landscape. The Chintan Shivir marked a pivotal step toward fostering a resilient, competitive, and future-ready automotive ecosystem, reinforcing the vision of an Atmanirbhar Bharat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
