Hemang Jani, Independent Market Expert, says in India, it will be better to play the EV theme through some of the incumbent players. In two-wheelers, companies like Bajaj, Hero, TVS, and in four-wheelers, Maruti. It has been indicated that a large part of Maruti’s growth will come through hybrids or EVs. It makes more sense to go with those established players rather than trying to find newer emerging stories with very high valuations. Jani would also stay away from OMCs because state elections are coming and just to get some more positive sentiment, the government may roll out some kind of a price cut and that may not be that positive for the oil marketing companies.

Also, for EV as a theme, there is too much hype and many IPOs. Even some of the existing players who have that offering are commanding much higher valuations whereas the actual growth at the ground level may not be that good.
