After consumer electronic brands like Oppo and Oneplus filed for trademarks for driverless EVs and Electric Scooters in India, a new news report says that Adani Group, headed by India's second richest person has registered a trademark for the name ‘Adani’, proposed to be used for vehicles.

This news comes after Reliance Industries, headed by India's richest person Mukesh Ambani, is aggresively investing in Battery Manufacturing and Green Hydrogen.

Looks like interesting times are ahead for Green Vehicles in India.

The Group will look at electric commercial vehicles — coaches, buses and trucks to begin with. It will initially use them for its in-house requirements in airports, ports and for other logistics purposes.

The infrastructure conglomerate also plans to establish an R&D centre in its special economic zone (SEZ) in Mundra, Gujarat, for its proposed play in in electric mobility

This move will pit Adani against the Tata Group and Reliance, who also have announced similar plans.

I feel that automated self driving vehicles would best suit the goods and logistics warehouses as they are controlled environments and can be automated easily. This will also mean a surge of large warehousing across India as Covid has ensured that eCommerce in India got a super boost in volumes with stores and malls being shut for days and weeks.

The invisible cost is the blue collar job market as the unskilled jobs get automated. A business of this volume would hire tens of thousands of workers a few years ago, now can manage with a few hundred strategically or even outsource the manpower to an agency.
