Core Purpose

This notification amends specific domestic manufacturing requirements for traction motors and controllers for N2 and N3 category e-trucks under the Phased Manufacturing Programme of the PM Electric Drive Revolution in Innovative Vehicle Enhancement (PM E-DRIVE) Scheme.

Detailed Summary

The Ministry of Heavy Industries, vide Notification S.O. 1331(E) dated 13th March, 2026, has further amended the Phased Manufacturing Programme (PMP) for N2 and N3 category e-Trucks, with effect from its publication date in the Official Gazette. This amendment specifically revises entries at Sr. No. 8, 9, and 10 of the PMP. The overarching PM Electric Drive Revolution in Innovative Vehicle Enhancement (PM E-DRIVE) Scheme was initially notified by the Ministry of Heavy Industries via S.O.4259(E) dated 29th September 2024, and the PMP for e-Trucks was established by S.O.3081(E) dated 10th July 2025, with a prior amendment by S.O. 4481(E) on 30th September 2025. The current amendment mandates specific domestic manufacturing processes for 'Traction Motor' (Sr. No. 8) for both N2 and N3 categories, including magnet fitment, rotor/stator assembly, shaft, bearing, enclosure, connectors, and cables, effective from 1st September 2026. For 'Traction Motor Integrated with Transmission' (Sr. No. 9), domestic assembly of the integrated unit, controllers, and software flashing is required from 1st September 2025, with additional manufacturing requirements for motor, transmission, and controller components from 1st September 2026. Lastly, for 'Traction Motor controller including inverter' (Sr. No. 10), domestic manufacturing requirements for N2 category include PCB integration from 1st September 2025 and electronic component assembly from 1st September 2026, while for N3 category (without integrated transmission), electronic component assembly is required from 1st September 2026.
