Top equity research firms have recently pointed towards Electric Vehicle industry stocks as hot bait in the Indian stock market. In the last 1 year, EV industry related stocks have performed well even during market decline and experts say this trend will continue. Electric vehicle industry is a revolutionary one and EVs are expected to slowly replace conventional vehicles entirely in the long run. EV stocks have given massive returns to investors abroad and the same is likely to be repeated in India. In January 2020, Tesla was valued at $117 billion and by the end of the year, it was worth $650 billion!
When it comes to EVs, it is not just the automaker but the whole industry (component makers, EV charging companies, battery makers and ancillary industry), that is expected to grow rapidly. Let’s have a look at the 5 top EV industry stocks to look out for in 2023:
