Names from the curated theme note. Solid chips are present in the live eligible cohort; dashed chips need membership review, ticker verification, or may be indirect/unlisted exposure.
Investment thesis
EV adoption, battery manufacturing, component localisation, charging infrastructure, and software/electronics create a broad but early-stage ecosystem.
Key triggers
- FAME/state policies
- Gigafactory capacity
- 2W/3W adoption
- Fleet electrification
Major risks
- Subsidy changes
- China import dependence
- Charging gaps
- Technology disruption
Thesis
The FAME-II subsidy and PLI for Advanced Chemistry Cells (ACC) both mandate rising domestic value addition (DVA) for EV components — battery packs, cell chemistry, motor controllers, and power electronics. Lead-acid incumbents (Exide, Amara Raja) are pivoting into Li-ion Giga-factories; power electronics firms are expanding into inverters and battery stabilisers.
- ▸FAME-II + PLI-ACC mandate rising DVA for EV components
- ▸Exide + Amara Raja pivoting lead-acid → Li-ion Giga-factories
- ▸Power electronics is the pickaxe — used across EV + inverter + solar
- ▸Transition economics are still being proven — execution risk
