DRIVING THE FUTURE: UNVEILING CONSUMER PREFERENCES AND PURCHASE INTENTIONS FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES IN JALANDHAR
Author: Mehak Goyal, Vishal Vinayak, Yashmin Sofat

ABSTRACT
This research explores consumer awareness, behavioral intent, and the impact of
demographic variables on the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in Jalandhar, Punjab, while
also analyzing the region's EV-related infrastructure and policies. A descriptive-analytical
research design was used, combining both primary and secondary data. Primary data was
gathered from 300 respondents using a structured Google Form questionnaire and analyzed
using MS Excel and SPSS v25, applying Chi-square tests to test four hypotheses. Findings
show that 74.6% of respondents earning above ₹80,000 intend to buy EVs, while only 36% of
those earning below ₹20,000 do. Education was a significant factor, with 76% of
Doctorate/Professional degree holders showing intent to purchase EVs. Age also influenced
behavior: 74.3% of respondents aged 26–35 expressed purchase intent, the highest among all
age groups. Regarding awareness, 98 respondents ranked social media as their top
information source, far exceeding the expected average of 27.27 per source, with a Chisquare value of 290.72 (p < 0.05), confirming unequal consumer reliance across media.
Secondary data revealed Jalandhar’s current infrastructure is underdeveloped, with minimal
public charging points despite Punjab’s EV policy aiming for 25% EV registrations by 2027
and supporting 10,000 charging stations across the state. Challenges include inadequate
charging access, high initial EV costs, and limited EV-trained technicians, while
opportunities lie in battery-swapping models, state subsidies (up to ₹30,000 per EV), and a
youth-driven urban market. The study concludes that while awareness and interest in EVs are
growing, successful adoption in Jalandhar depends on bridging infrastructure gaps, improving
policy execution, and aligning local initiatives with consumer readiness and preferences.
Keywords: Electric Vehicles (EVs), Consumer Behavior, EV Adoption in Jalandhar,
Demographic Influence, Sustainable Mobility.

BRAND DESIRE VS. AUTHENTICITY: WHY CONSUMERS CHOOSE COUNTERFEIT LUXURY HANDBAGS
Author: Neeru Jain, Ruchi Jain & Rakhi Tanwar

ABSTRACT
This review paper explores the psychological, cultural, and social dynamics driving consumer
demand for counterfeit luxury handbags. Despite increased legal enforcement and advances
in anti-counterfeit technologies, the global counterfeit market particularly for fashion
accessories continues to thrive. The paper investigates why consumers knowingly choose
inauthentic products, focusing on how brand desire, identity signalling, and status aspirations
outweigh concerns about legality or authenticity. Drawing on interdisciplinary research from
marketing, psychology, and consumer behaviour, it highlights how symbolic consumption
motivates consumers to seek visual status markers, even when they are not materially
genuine. Concepts like conspicuous consumption, face consciousness, and moral
rationalization are examined to understand how consumers justify counterfeit purchases. The
review also considers generational shifts, particularly the role of Gen Z and digital culture, in
normalizing fake luxury as a form of expression or economic rebellion. Moreover, it
discusses the rise of “super fakes,” the impact of resale platforms, and the challenges of
technological solutions like blockchain verification in addressing counterfeit proliferation.
The findings suggest that the desire for brand identity often eclipses the importance of
authenticity, prompting brands and policymakers to rethink consumer engagement strategies.
This paper contributes to the broader discussion on consumer ethics, luxury marketing, and
intellectual property protection by positioning counterfeiting not merely as a legal issue but
as a socio-cultural phenomenon rooted in aspiration, identity, and access.
Keywords:
Counterfeit luxury, Brand desire, Consumer behaviour, Symbolic consumption, Authenticity
