If one looks at reasons for the out-performance of stocks like TVS motors and Tata motors, a large part of it can be attributed to their moving early into EV space. Now let’s go back a couple of years. What dominated the headlines was the XYZ startup focused on EV space has become a unicorn because it has raised US $ 20 million at such and such valuations. Here we need to make a distinction between the total amount raised which will go into operation of the company and the valuations. The total amount which is real business is just Rs 150 crore, though the valuation has crossed more than a US $ one billion dollar. Valuations don't run business, they only get headlines. It is cash which a company will be able to pour into EV business and price wars which are bound to take place in the long term which will decide the final winner.
