Electric Vehicle Supply Chain Survey
This form is a part of a project conducted by BTech Industrial Engineering Students of Vishwakarma Institute of Technology, Pune. The form is solely intended for analyzing the inputs from different Industry professionals. The data collected would only be used for research work by VIT students.
 
**Please Note - This form DOES NOT collect or store any personal data of the respondent. The respondent is ANONYMOUS to the survey conductors as well. Moreover NO information of any company/brand/manufacturer is collected through the survey. So you can freely answer the survey.
Your inputs will help us to gain better insights about EVs.
