Background: 1. The then Department of Heavy Industry had launched a scheme, namely Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid &) Electric Vehicles in India (FAME -I), for promotion of electric and hybrid vehicles with an outlay of ₹795 crore. FAME -I was initially approved for a period of 2 years, commencing from 1st April 2015. The scheme was subsequently extended up to 31st March 2019 with an enhancement in outlay from ₹795 crore to ₹895 crore. 2. After review of the phase I, DHI formulated Phase II of the scheme (FAME -II) with an outlay of ₹10,000 crore which was subsequently enhanced to ₹11,500 crore for the period from 1st April, 2019 to 31st March 2024. 3. Thereafter, to maintain continuity of support for electric two wheelers (e -2Ws) and electric three wheelers (e -3Ws), MHI launched the Electric Mobility Promotion Scheme 2024 (EMPS -2024) with an outlay of ₹500 crore, which was subsequently enhanced to ₹778 crore, for the period from 1st April 2024 till 30th September 2024. 4. Further, after review of FAME -II and EMPS -2024, Ministry of Heavy Industries (MHI) formulated PM Electric Drive Revolution in Innovative Vehicle Enhancement (PM E -DRIVE) scheme (“the Scheme”) with the approval of the Union Cabinet as per the scheme parameters given in subsequent paragraphs. The number of vehicles and the expenditure under EMPS -2024 is subsumed under the number of vehicles and outlay of PM E -DRIVE Scheme. Scheme Parameters: General: 5. The PM E -DRIVE Scheme, with an outlay of ₹10,900 crore, shall be implemented from 1st October 2024 to 31st March 2026, for faster adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), setting up of charging infrastructure and development of EV manufacturing eco -system in the country. Further, EMPS -2024 being implemented for the period from 1st April 2024 to 30th September 2024 is subsumed under this Scheme. Components of the Scheme 6. The scheme is proposed to be implemented through the following components: a) Subsidies: Demand incentives for e -2W, e -3W, e -ambulances, e -trucks & other new emerging EV categories, b) Grants for creation of capital assets: e -buses, establishment of network of charging stations & upgradation of testing agencies identified under this Scheme, and c) Administration of Scheme including IEC (Information, Education & Communication) activities and fee for project management agency (PMA). 7. The efforts of the Central Government to promote e -mobility need supplemental support from State Governments. States need to offer bouquet of fiscal and non -fiscal incentives. Some such incentives may include waiver / concessional road tax, exemption from permit, waiver / concessional toll tax, waiver / concessional parking fees, concessional registration charges, etc. MHI will continue to encourage States to offer such incentives during the scheme duration. 8. MHI shall be the nodal Ministry in Government of India and will be responsible for planning, implementation and review of the scheme. MHI shall address issues related to the guidelines and for removal of difficulties in the implementation of the scheme. Scheme Outlay 9. The breakup of fund allocation year wise, component -wise, for the Scheme’s duration is given below: Table 1: Indicative year -wise component -wise fund allocation (₹ in crore) S.

Therefore, some claims of FY 2024 -25 and FY 2025 -26 will be settled during the later years. Project Implementation and Sanctioning Committee (PISC) 10. An inter -ministerial empowered committee viz. PISC headed by Secretary (Heavy Industries) is constituted for overall monitoring, sanctioning and implementation of PM E -DRIVE as well as to remove any obstacles/ difficulties that may arise in the implementation stage. The composition of the committee is given in Annexure -1. 11. The PISC shall have the power to: i. Decide the scheme parameters for smooth implementation of the Scheme as well as to remove any obstacles/ difficulties as may arise during implementation stage within the overall Scheme outlay of ₹ 10,900 crore. ii. Downward revision of rates of demand incentive, as required, enabling incentivisation of a higher number of vehicles. iii. Increase the number of e -buses to be supported under the Scheme, in case lower rates are discovered for e-buses. iv. Quantum of financial support for setting up of charging infrastructure. v. Inclusion of e -ambulances, e -trucks (including new generation EVs), decide their testing parameters, incentive rates and laying down guidelines for the same. vi. Approve the guidelines for upgradation of testing agencies and sanction funds for the same. vii. The allocation of e -buses, charging infrastructure and testing agencies will not be reduced from the funds earmarked for them. The principle of fungibility does not apply to these components and funds will lapse if there is no offtake under these segments. Eligibility 12. Vehicles which are registered as “Motor Vehicle” as per the Central Motor Vehicle Rules (CMVR) will only be eligible for incentives. Vehicles fitted with only advanced batteries (technology definitions as per Annexure -2) and satisfying performance criteria as in Annexure -3 will only be eligible under the Scheme. 13. Since cost of batteries is one of the main factors of difference in acquisition price of EVs and internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, the demand incentive/ grant for EVs would be based on battery capacity (i.e. energy content measured in kWh) used in such vehicles. In order to restrict very high - end vehicles from availing Government incentives, it is proposed to restrict incentives to vehicles with ex -factory price less than a particular threshold value as in Annexure -4. Ex-factory price shall mean “price of the vehicle at the factory gate before applicable taxes”. 14. Segment wise target number of vehicles to be supported, incentive per kWh, maximum incentive per vehicle, maximum ex -factory price to avail incentive, total fund support from MHI and other details are given in Annexure -4. In case of e -2W/e -3W, the number of vehicles to be incentivised in FY 2024 -25, inclusive of vehicles to be incentivised in EMPS -2024, shall be restricted to the numbers mentioned in Annexure -4. In case the target for e -2W/e -3W in FY 2024 -25 is not met then such unutilized amount shall be available for utilization in the subsequent year. Demand incentive 15. Demand incentives are an important component of the Scheme which directly help in demand generation of EVs by way of reducing the cost of acquisition. Demand incentive shall be available for consumers (buyers/end users) in the form of an upfront reduced purchase price of EVs to enable wider adoption, which will be reimbursed to the OEM by the Government of India. For individual cases, an e -Voucher will be generated post Aadhaar e -KYC authentication using face modality through PM E -DRIVE app. For non -individual buyers, e -Voucher will be generated using PM E - DRIVE portal. This e -Voucher shall be used to avail the demand incentive. 16. Following categories of vehicles will be eligible for demand incentive: a) Two Wheelers (electric) (e -2W) b) Three -wheeler (electric) including registered e -rickshaws & e -carts and L5 (e -3W) c) e-ambulances (electric, plug in hybrid & strong hybrid) d) e-trucks and other new emerging EV categories. 17. With greater emphasis on providing affordable and environment friendly public transportation options for the masses, Scheme will be applicable mainly to vehicles used for public transport or those registered for commercial purposes in e -3W, e -trucks and other new emerging EV categories. However, in addition to commercial use, privately or corporate owned and registered e -2W will also be eligible under the Scheme. Eligible beneficiaries for e -ambulances shall be decided in consultation with Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW). 18. It is proposed to extend a demand incentive of ₹5,000 per kWh in FY 2024 -25 and of ₹2,500 per kWh in FY 2025 -26 for e -2W and e -3W categories. The number of vehicles to be supported and upper cap on incentive per vehicle is specified in Annexure -4. The incentive for e -2W/ e -3W shall be further capped at 15% of ex -factory price. 19. Aggregation may also be adopted for bringing the upfront cost of e -3W at an affordable level. Details will be worked out by Convergence Energy Services Limited (CESL) for implementation. 20. Details for e -ambulances including their numbers, eligible beneficiaries, maximum subsidy, performance criteria, etc. will be notified separately based on consultation with MoHFW, MoRTH, state governments, testing agencies and other stakeholders. Only those e -ambulances will be eligible for incentives which meet the standards approved by MoHFW. 21. The relevant details for e -trucks & other new emerging EV categories including number of vehicles to be supported, maximum subsidy, performance criteria, etc. will be notified separately based on consultation with relevant stakeholders. In the case of e -trucks, incentive will be provided only against furnishing scrapping certificate issued by MoRTH authorised registered vehicle scrapping facility(ies) (RVSF) for ICE trucks of equal or higher gross vehicle weight (GVW). Transferability of RVSF scrapping certificate shall be as per norms of MoRTH. A monitoring system to confirm the scrapping certificate will be put in place. e-buses: 22. The Scheme envisages an outlay of ₹4,391 crore for roll out of 14,028 e -buses. Only e -buses with ex - factory price less than ₹2 crore will be incentivised under this Scheme. It is proposed to extend a uniform grant of ₹10,000 per kWh for both the years. The size of the e -buses and maximum incentive per e -bus is as follows: Table 2: Size and maximum incentive per e -bus e-bus size Maximum Incentive/ e -bus Standard bus, length >10m & <=12m ₹ 35,00,000 Midi bus, length >8m & <=10 m ₹ 25,00,000 Mini bus, length >6m & <=8 m ₹ 20,00,000 23. The e -bus grant will be lowest of the following: a) ₹10,000 multiplied by battery capacity measured in kWh b) Maximum incentive according to size of bus, as per table no. 2 above. c) 20% of cost of e -bus according to the price discovered through competitive bidding by CESL. 24. In case lower rates are discovered for buses, the number of buses to be supported under the Scheme may be increased by the PISC within the proposed outlay of ₹4,391 crore for e -buses. 25. Nine cities with population of more than 40 lakh viz. Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Surat, and Pune will be targeted initially. Roll out of inter -city/ inter - state e -buses shall also be considered in consultation with state governments and other stakeholders. 26. Support for e -buses will be provided through State/ city transport undertakings (STUs) on operational expenditure (OPEX)/ gross cost contract (GCC) model. Procurement of e -buses on aggregation model through competitive bidding shall continue to be done by CESL. 27. The grant for e -buses will be released to STUs as per the following milestones: Table 3: Milestones for release of payment for e -buses Instalment No. Milestones for release of instalment Percentage of support to be released by MHI 1 After the issue of supply order and signing of agreement by STU with selected bidders; as mobilization advance 20% 2 On commencement of commercial operation of e - buses 30% 3 After 6 months of successful commercial operation of e-buses 25% 4 After 18 months of successful commercial operation of e -buses 25% 28. Procurement and operation of buses by STUs in unique geographies like hilly and north -eastern states, island territories, coastal regions, etc. on non -OPEX model can also be considered by MHI. 29. While allocating buses to cities/states, first preference shall be given to those number of buses of cities/states, which are being procured after scrapping old STU buses, through authorised RVSFs following the MoRTH Vehicle Scrapping Scheme guidelines. A monitoring system to confirm the scrapping certificate will be put in place. Charging infrastructure: 30. The Scheme envisages support of ₹2,000 crore for setting up of adequate public charging infrastructure for various categories of vehicles to instil confidence amongst EV users. This will be implemented through involvement of Central ministries/ authorities, State Governments, Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs), etc. In addition to setting up EV charging infrastructure within city limits, the Scheme also envisages selected inter -city/ inter -state highways to be made EV ready. Routes for setting up chargers on highways will be identified in consultation with MoRTH and other stakeholders. 31. The quantum of financial support, benchmark prices, number of guns & other technical parameters for setting up of charging infrastructure, including support for upstream infrastructure (behind the meter), shall be determined by PISC in consultation with Ministry of Power (MoP) and other stakeholders. 32. Flexibility of funding for establishment of charging infrastructure, to the extent of 100% of cost (including upstream power infrastructure) of the project, may be made available for promoting electric mobility. 33. All these charging infrastructures will be established as per Ministry of Power (MoP) guidelines issued vide No. 12/2/2018 -EV dated 17th September 2024 on the subject “Guidelines for Installation and Operation of Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure -2024” and as amended from time to time. 34. Projects for charging infrastructure may also include infrastructure projects required for extending electrification for running of vehicles like pantograph charging, flash charging, etc. Inter -linking of renewable energy sources with charging infrastructure, smart grid, use of ICT, etc. shall be encouraged. Support to Testing agencies: 35. The testing agencies are a key element for testing of EVs under CMVR and PM E -DRIVE Scheme. They were geared towards testing ICE vehicles. In view of the increase in the number of EVs to be tested, there is a need to upgrade the facilities. A provision of ₹780 crore in this regard has been made under the Scheme. The guidelines for sanction of assistance to the testing agencies under MHI will be issued separately. Administration of Scheme including IEC 36. For smooth operation & implementation of PM E -DRIVE Scheme, there will be a need for knowledge partners/ technical expertise and logistics support including web portal. The Scheme would also require adequate Information, Education & Communication (IEC) activity. For this purpose, an outlay of ₹50 crore is proposed. Phased Manufacturing Programme (PMP) 37. Under the FAME -II scheme, PMP was implemented and manufacturers were obligated to follow the PMP outlining the localization of EV components over time. PMP for EVs as per Annexure -5 will have to be followed by OEMs to be eligible for support under PM E -DRIVE. Similarly, PMP for EV charging infrastructure/ public charging stations as per Annexure -6, will have to be followed for eligibility under this Scheme. However, MHI may amend PMP, keeping in view the evolution of EV ecosystem. 38. This is a demand side Scheme and incentive/ grant payable under this Scheme will be independent of and in addition to incentives given under production linked incentive (PLI) scheme for automobile and auto components industry (PLI -Auto) and PLI scheme for advanced chemistry cell (PLI -ACC). However, MHI will encourage State/UT Governments to extend fiscal and non -fiscal support to EVs. Conditions to avail Demand Incentives: 39. In order to avail demand incentive, OEM is required to be registered with MHI. Further, after registration of the OEM, each of their EV models will need to be approved by MHI. 40. Each vehicle model needs to satisfy minimum technical eligibility criteria with regard to performance and efficiency of vehicles as provided at Annexure -3 and get it type approved as per prescribed / standard test procedure at the recognised testing agencies as notified under the Rule 126 of CMVR. Technical eligibility criteria for e -ambulances, e -trucks and other new emerging EV categories viz. range, electricity consumption, speed, acceleration, etc. will be notified separately. Further, e - ambulances will be required to meet the standards as may be required by MoHFW. 41. To meet the qualifying criteria for the demand incentives, the electric vehicles (EVs) including its variants and versions, should: (a) be manufactured in India; (b) have local manufacturing & assembly of such parts as are specified in the phased manufacturing programme (PMP) as per Annexure -5 as amended from time to time; (c) meet provisions contained in CMVR in terms of type approval, classification, categorization, definition, road worthiness, registration, etc.; (d) obtain certificate of PM E -DRIVE eligibility assessment from recognised testing agencies; (e) be accompanied by comprehensive warranty including that of battery from the manufacturer and to have adequate facilities for after sales service for the life of the vehicle.
