India is undergoing a significant transition toward electric mobility (e-mobility); with electric vehicles (EV) playing a central role in decarbonizing the transport sector. The e-mobility ecosystem is expanding rapidly across multiple sub-sectors; including two-wheelers; three-wheelers; passenger cars; light commercial vehicles; heavy trucks and buses. This growth is supported by strong policy momentum; technological advancements; and increasing consumer and fleet interest in cleaner; more cost-effective transport solutions. This market study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of India¡¯s e-mobility landscape and its sub-sectors. It will assess key trends; demand and supply drivers; consumer segments; key players; and the competitive environment across major transportation segments. A ¡®segment¡¯ is defined as a combination of a vehicle type and its use case. For example; a taxi segment and personal mobility segment both use cars; but have different value chains and business models. The study will also evaluate Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and unit economics (with revenue side considerations) of various segments; vehicle availability; financing and business models; regulatory frameworks; and investment opportunities; offering strategic insights with the ultimate objective of enhancing IFC investment opportunities in the e-mobility sector in India. The consultancy aims to address the following objectives in India: * assess the current market landscape and outlook of e-mobility sector and major transport segments;* Identify segments that are poised to grow significantly in the short (1-2 years); medium (3-5 years) and long terms; articulate key drivers of and barriers to adoption; prioritize the segments poised to grow in the short and medium terms for electric mobility.* For each priority segment; identify key market participants (public and private); competitive landscape; and investment opportunities; with a list of particular private sector candidates for consideration based on criteria to be shared by and discussed with IFC;* determine demand and assess supply across e-mobility value chain for the priority segments;* identify available financing options and business models; * Assess the state of and expected growth of charging (and where applicable; battery swapping) infrastructure; the key players and actors involved and potential for investments thereof; based on criteria to be shared by and discussed with IFC;* assess regulatory frameworks and government incentives supporting adoption; and* evaluate internal rate of return (IRR) and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) advantages and assess financial and commercial viability across key e-mobility sub-sectors.The scope of work will broadly comprise of following 7 components. i. i) Market landscape; outlook; size; and key growth drivers ii. ii) Market participants; competitive landscape; and projects iii. iii) Demand assessment iv. iv) Supply assessment v. v) Financing assessment vi. vi) Regulatory assessmentvii) Business model; financial analysis; and impact assessmentThe expected duration of the engagement is 14 weeks. The Consultant is expected to liaise directly with market players to procure all relevant information necessary to undertake the assessment. IFC will also share relevant internal studies (not available in the public domain) that have been undertaken for the India e-mobility sector. IFC expects this study to be undertaken primarily through secondary research; with primary data/insights from interactions with key experts/sector specialists/government/stakeholders/ regulators; etc. The consultant should be a firm or a consortium (with clear indication of the lead firm) that meets the following criteria: - Demonstrated track record of advisory; analytical activities related to e-mobility market assessments; industry research; supply and demand analysis; feasibility studies and conceptualization and development of business plans- Demonstrated local experience; resources; and knowledge to execute this engagement successfully in India; including procurement of requisite data;- Good understanding and assessment of government regulations and its impact on the growth of e-mobility market in India; and- Global and/or regional experience of attracting private investments in the e-mobility sector.Applicant firms are expected to provide a summary of their credentials in the e-mobility space along with representative CVs of the personnel who are expected to be staffed on the project. The submission should be limited to a maximum of 60 pages.
