Central Government Support:…

Central Government Support - FAME Scheme (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid & Electric Vehicles) Started in 2015, now in its second phase (FAME-II). - Offers subsidies to make EVs cheaper — for example, up to ₹15,000 per kWh for two-wheelers (capped at 40% of the vehicle cost) and ₹20,000 per kWh for e-buses. - Funds public charging stations — over 2,600 sanctioned across 24 states/UTs. - PLI Scheme for Advanced Chemistry Cell (ACC) Batteries - ₹18,100 crore incentive pool to attract large-scale battery manufacturing in India. - Aims to make India self-reliant in battery tech and reduce imports. Battery Swapping Policy - Standardises battery sizes and tech so EV owners can quickly swap batteries instead of waiting to charge. Tax Benefits - Lower GST on EVs (5% vs. 28% on petrol/diesel vehicles). - Income tax deduction on interest paid for EV loans. Phased Manufacturing Programme (PMP) - Gradually increases import duties on fully built EVs and parts to encourage local manufacturing. State Government Support Many states have their own EV policies — here’s what they typically offer: - Extra Purchase Subsidies on top of central FAME benefits. - Road Tax & Registration Fee Waivers to cut upfront costs. - Capital Subsidies for Charging Stations to expand infrastructure. - Special EV Zones in cities with dedicated parking and charging. - Manufacturing Incentives like land at concessional rates, stamp duty exemptions, and power tariff discounts. Examples: - Delhi offers up to ₹30,000 subsidy for e-two-wheelers and waives road tax. - Maharashtra gives incentives for both buyers and manufacturers, plus scrappage benefits. - Tamil Nadu focuses on attracting EV factories with tax breaks and infrastructure support. In plain terms: The central government is building the national backbone — big-ticket subsidies, battery manufacturing, and charging networks — while states are adding local muscle with extra discounts, tax waivers, and factory-friendly policies. Together, they’re trying to make EVs cheaper to buy, easier to charge, and more attractive to build in India. hashtag hashtag#GRNLYFTMobility hashtag hashtag#GRNLYFT hashtag hashtag#sustainability hashtag hashtag#Zerocarbon hashtag hashtag#Greenfuture
