PurposeThe study identifies the challenges of developing the “electric vehicle (EV)” charging infrastructure in India, having an ambitious target of 30% EV adoption by 2030.Design/methodology/approachFirst, a systematic literature review determined EV adoption and challenges in the EV charging infrastructure development globally and specifically in India. Secondly, a focussed group study in which 10 domain experts were consulted to identify additional challenges in India's EV adoption involving EV charging infrastructure.FindingsAccordingly, 11 significant challenges of EV charging infrastructure development in India have been identified–seven through the comparative analysis of the literature review and four from the focussed group study. Secondary data provides insight into the situation around developed countries and in developing countries, specifically in India. Finally, the Government of India's measures and priorities to facilitate such a development are emphasised.Research limitations/implicationsThe study can help policymakers/researchers understand the gaps and align measures to address the challenges. A focussed group study may have its limitations due to the perception of the experts.Originality/valueThe systematic literature review of 43 articles using comparative analysis and subsequently a focussed group study of experts to verify and add challenges has made the study unique.
Indian MSMEs must respond quickly to the fast-changing requirements using dynamic capabilities gained while adopting strategic changes like flexibility and a lean management system (LMS). The present research aims to review the depth and effect of LMS and the understanding of lean philosophy in Indian MSMEs. First, a systematic literature review (SLR) approach using a four-stage process cycle of Plan-Do-Check-Propose (PDCP) applied with a unique integration of Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) in a Plan-Do-Check-(Analyse/Propose) (PDCP) during analysis and synthesis of the data. The SLR captures the need for lean manufacturing practices and its advantages in MSMEs with critical lean barriers. Next, the Government of India (GOI) measures to promote LMS and "Lack of awareness of lean manufacturing competitiveness scheme (LMCS)" among Indian MSMEs are reported. Finally, the study concludes with gaps and improvements needed to strengthen the effectiveness of the schemes, together with the requirement of studies to appraise the direct effects of GOI promotional measures on MSME's performance in a longer perspective.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
