EV imports drop 12 percent as floods and landslides disrupt northern trade routes

Import of internal combustion four-wheelers—buses, cars, jeeps, and vans—grows 69.04 percent in the first quarter.

The import of electric vehicles (EVs) declined by 12 percent in the first three months of the current fiscal year compared to the same period last fiscal, mainly due to the months-long trade halt at northern border points following floods and landslides.
