**Why India’s Electric Truck Makers Are Struggling to Go Local**
*By Dwaipayan Roy | Oct 12, 2025, 05:21 PM*
—
India’s electric truck industry is facing significant challenges in meeting the government’s localization demands. Despite efforts by leading manufacturers like Tata Motors and Ashok Leyland to produce local components and promote green logistics, they have struggled to pass the required localization tests. This slowdown is further compounded by the low market demand for electric trucks.
### Government Localization Push
The Indian government has been actively pushing e-truck manufacturers to comply with an ambitious localization plan. Recent consultations between the Union Heavy Industries Ministry and key industry players—including Tata Motors, Ashok Leyland, Volvo Eicher Commercial Vehicles, and Murugappa Group’s IPLTech—highlight the government’s focus on this initiative.
Under the *phased manufacturing program* (PMP), introduced in July as part of the ₹10,900 crore PM E-Drive scheme, manufacturers face strict deadlines for localizing components that are currently imported, mainly from China.
### What Is the Phased Manufacturing Program?
The PMP mandates that specific e-truck components—such as HVAC systems, electric compressors for brakes, charging inlets for standard EV chargers, battery management systems, vehicle control units, and traction motors—must be progressively manufactured domestically. The initial cut-off date for importing most of these parts was September 1, 2025.
### Policy Adjustments Amid Supply Challenges
Due to disruptions in the supply of rare earth magnets from China, the government has recently relaxed its rules. It now permits manufacturers to import traction motors that incorporate these magnets from Chinese suppliers. Additionally, the PM E-Drive scheme for e-trucks and e-buses has been extended by two years to FY28, reflecting underutilization of allocated funds for these vehicle segments.
### Testing Delays and Localization Bottlenecks
Despite the government’s push, no e-truck model has successfully passed the localization test over two months since the guidelines came into effect. This delay indicates a slow transition toward using locally sourced parts. Authorities have urged manufacturers to accelerate the localization process to clearly demonstrate which components in e-trucks and e-buses are made in India.
### Growth in Local Production
Encouragingly, several Indian auto component makers have begun ramping up local production of critical parts. Companies like Sona Comstar and Toyota Kirloskar Auto Parts Ltd are now manufacturing traction motors and trans-axles domestically. These efforts align with the government’s ₹25,938 crore production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme for automobiles and auto parts, which requires at least 50% of spare parts and raw materials to be sourced within India.
### Market Hurdles and Cost Concerns
E-truck manufacturers cite uncertainty in market demand as a key reason for the slow adoption of local components. However, the government notes that sectors such as ports, steel, and cement are keen to adopt green logistics solutions, indicating potential for growth.
Another significant challenge is the cost. Transitioning from diesel trucks to electric models is expensive for businesses, as electric trucks currently cost between 20% and 50% more than their diesel counterparts. This price gap poses a hurdle for faster adoption across industries.

India’s electric truck sector stands at a critical juncture where government policies, manufacturing capabilities, and market realities must align to accelerate localization and promote sustainable transportation.

**Taiwan Says It Doesn’t Need China for Most Rare Earth Materials**
*By Dwaipayan Roy | October 12, 2025, 5:19 PM*
Taiwan’s economy ministry is currently evaluating the impact of China’s recent expansion of rare earth export restrictions on its critical semiconductor industry. According to the ministry, the majority of Taiwan’s rare earth materials are sourced from Europe, the United States, and Japan. However, officials are still assessing how the latest Chinese restrictions may affect supply chains and production costs in this sector.
**China Tightens Rare Earth Export Controls**
China has recently expanded its control over rare earth exports by adding five new elements to the restricted list. The country has also increased scrutiny specifically targeting chip manufacturers and users. This move comes ahead of high-stakes talks between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, intensifying concerns over supply chain stability.
The Taiwanese economy ministry emphasized that “the impact on the operation of the semiconductor industry still requires further stocktaking and assessment,” highlighting the need to carefully analyze potential disruptions.
**Impact on Taiwan’s Semiconductor Industry**
Taiwan is home to the world’s largest contract chipmaker, TSMC, which produces a majority of the advanced chips used in artificial intelligence applications globally. Any disruption in rare earth supply chains or increased costs resulting from China’s new restrictions could have significant repercussions for Taiwan’s semiconductor sector and the broader technology industry.
**China’s Defense of Export Restrictions**
Earlier today, China defended its export curbs on rare earth elements and related equipment. The Chinese government stated that the restrictions are motivated by concerns over the military applications of these metals amid what it described as “frequent military conflict.” This rationale reflects Beijing’s strategic considerations tied to national security.
As Taiwan continues to monitor the situation, industry stakeholders are closely watching the developments, given the critical role rare earth materials play in semiconductor manufacturing and advanced technology production.

Crypto was once like an unruly teenager: misunderstood, uninvited, and not allowed near the family savings. But Pakistani authorities have now decided that they cannot beat the blockchain; they might as well try to regulate it. Hence the Virtual Assets Ordinance and the proposed Virtual Assets Bill.
Pakistan has pivoted hard, mirroring what’s happening globally, especially in the EU, where the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) is now standard.
### The Early Wild West of Crypto
In the unregulated days of crypto, ICOs were the gold rush. Entrepreneurs waved shiny white papers in the air like some magic spell, promising financial freedom and decentralisation. What they delivered was often closer to a group text scam. The lack of regulation meant that scammers could moonwalk around securities laws with nothing but a white paper and a dream.
That’s why some countries began taking things more seriously. MiCA was the EU’s answer to crypto: sure, decentralise all you want, but please fill out these forms.
### Pakistan Joins the Regulatory Renaissance
Pakistan is now joining this regulatory renaissance—but with some local flair. The 2025 Ordinance gave birth to the Pakistan Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (PVARA), tasked with keeping the crypto circus from catching fire. Think of PVARA as the chaperone at the school dance, making sure nobody spikes the punch (or launders money).
Regulators are taking a hard look at what tokens actually are, as opposed to what they say they are and what they do. MiCA has its categories—asset-referenced tokens, e-money tokens, utility tokens, security-ish ones. Pakistan is leaning into the same “don’t trust the brochure” approach.
The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) and the Securities and Exchange Commission have now joined the Pakistan Crypto Council, a group essentially hashing out token taxonomies.
### From Ban to Embrace
Remember when Pakistan banned crypto in 2018? The SBP has hinted that the advisory may soon be shredded. They are now toying with the idea of linking crypto to foreign exchange laws. Your Bitcoin might one day officially be worth something in Pakistan.
### Remaining Challenges
There are still issues. For instance, white papers—the crypto version of the “trust me, bro” sales pitch—remain unregulated in Pakistan. MiCA requires that if you’re going to promise the moon, your white paper better explain how you plan to build the rocket. Unfortunately, Pakistan has yet to impose such regulations.
Investor protection? Maybe next.
On the bright side, anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) controls are front and centre in the ordinance. This includes provisions from the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA) 2010. PVARA gets to play financial watchdog, audit snoop, and compliance enforcer all at once.
That’s good, because nothing kills an empty fintech dream faster than a FATF blacklist.
### Opening Doors for International Players
International players are now being invited to get licenses and set up shop in Pakistan. However, the ordinance is temporary. So yes, there’s a framework—but no formal act of parliament yet.
### The Philosophical Dilemma of Regulation and Decentralisation
Then there’s the real philosophical dilemma: can a heavily centralised regulatory regime handle the wild world of decentralisation?
Pakistan seems to be opting for a state-led innovation model. This is like trying to dance to a remix of techno and the national anthem at the same time.
National Bitcoin reserves and allocating 2,000 megawatts to blockchain and AI infrastructure are bold moves. But they also risk turning crypto into a VIP club for banks and government projects—potentially leaving smaller, community-driven projects stuck in the parking lot arguing with the bouncer.
### What Pakistan Needs Going Forward
To avoid that fate, the law will need to be smart and nimble. Token types should be clearly defined, disclosure standards must be firm, and investor protections real. Sandbox programmes and tiered regulations could help level the playing field.
If Pakistan pulls this off—if it can balance oversight with openness and formality with flexibility—it could emerge not just as a participant in the global digital asset race, but as an actual contender.
If it clings too hard to control or fails to pass actual legislation, it risks becoming just another cautionary tale in the crypto museum of almost-but-not-quite.
