Stellantis Aims to Transform India into an EV Export Hub
Stellantis, a global automotive giant, is aiming to establish India as a hub for exporting electric vehicles (EVs), particularly targeting Southeast Asian markets. The company has initiated this initiative with the export of 500 units of its Made in India ‘E-C3’ electric car to Indonesia, with plans to expand to other markets like Nepal and Bhutan. The decision to make India an EV export hub is driven by the country’s cost competitiveness and its commitment to ‘Make in India’. Stellantis India, formed after the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and PSA Group, currently sells Jeep and Citroen brands in India, focusing on competitiveness and leveraging India as a ‘best cost country.’

The export of the E-C3 marks a significant milestone for Stellantis in India, and the company plans to expand EV exports to other Southeast Asian markets, where EV acceptance is high. Stellantis is evaluating various regions in India for EV exports and is also exporting the Citroen brand to multiple markets, including Africa and Southeast Asia. India’s strategic location and cost competitiveness make it a key player in Stellantis’ global export strategy, as the country’s ability to export to different markets and the quality of its products positions it as a significant contributor to its export volumes.
