For reference India's petrol prices are at around $6/ga. The taxation on Petrol is quite high, and this is not a new phenomenon. Ergo, the switch to electric makes a lot of sense, but I'm not sure how India's grid will handle this.

The grid-losses were reported to be ~30%, and India provides electricity (albeit bad quality, intermittent) for free to all Indian farmers. Unclear how this can be scaled TBH (ignoring issues with battery sourcing etc.).
