Retrofitted EVs: Indian jugaad that's cheap, clean & battery-powered

Rediff.com29 May 2022

India has a history of jugaad, and retrofitting vehicles is one such manifestation of the legendary Indian skill.

There were the odd explosions, lives were lost, but the jugaad continued. Then compressed natural gas (CNG) was introduced in Delhi following a court order. Initially, customised CNG kits were fitted to conventional (internal combustion engine or ICE) autos cheaply, enabling commuting at less than half of what you would cough up for diesel. The industry is better organised now with Suzuki and Hyundai designing CNG-fired vehicles, and Mahindra and TVS manufacturing liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)-powered three wheelers.
