China-based automaker SAIC, which is gearing up to enter India, has appealed the government to provide incentive driven policies for electric vehicles.

SAIC Motor has sought to invest $500 million in India by 2020 on developing new products.

The company appealed to the Indian government to provide support and incentive policies and accelerate the infrastructure construction such as charging facilities.

SAIC Motor, via its wholly-owned subsidiary MG Motor India, also announced the launch of its first product, an internet sport utility vehicle, in the first half of next year.
