The Ministry of Heavy Industries formulated a Scheme namely Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid &) Electric Vehicles in India (FAME India) Scheme in 2015 to promote adoption of electric/ hybrid vehicles (xEVs) in India. The Phase-1 of the scheme was available up to 31^stMarch, 2019 with budget outlay of Rs 895 Cr. This phase of FAME India Scheme had four focus areas i.e. technological development, demand generation, pilot project and charging infrastructure components.

In the 1^stphase of the scheme, about 2.8 lakh xEVs were supported with total demand incentives of Rs. 359 Crore (Approx). In addition, 425 electric and hybrid buses, as sanctioned under first phase of the scheme, are deployed across various cities in the country with Government Incentive of about Rs. 280 Cr. The Ministry of Heavy Industries had also sanctioned about 520 Charging Stations/ Infrastructure for Rs. 43 Crore (approx.) under Phase-I of FAME-India Scheme.

Projects worth about Rs. 158 Crores are sanctioned for the technology development projects like establishment of testing Infrastructure, setting up of ‘Centre of Excellence’ for Advanced Research in electrified transportation, Battery Engineering etc. to various organisations / institutions like Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI), IIT Madras, IIT Kanpur, Non Ferrous Material Technology Development Centre (NFTDC), Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) etc.

Based on outcome and experience gained during Phase-I of FAME India Scheme and after having consultations with all stakeholders, including Industry and Industry Associations, the Government notified Phase-II of FAME India Scheme for a period of five years commencing from 1^stApri1, 2019 with a total budgetary support of Rs. 10,000 crore. This phase mainly focuses on supporting electrification of public & shared transportation, and aims to support through demand incentive 7090 eBuses, 5 lakh e-3 Wheelers, 55000 e-4 Wheeler Passenger Cars and 10 lakh e-2 Wheelers.

Under phase-II of FAME India Scheme, subsidy amounting to Rs. 5248.00 crore has been given to electric vehicle manufactures on sale of 11,61,350 no. of electric vehicles as on 05.12.2023 (as per http://fame2.heavyindustries.gov.in/dashboard.aspx ).

Further, MHI sanctioned 6862 electric buses to various cities/STUs/State Govt. entities for intracity operations.Out of 6862 e-buses, 3487 e-buses have been supplied to STUs as on date i.e. 29.11.2023.

Ministry of Heavy Industries has also sanctioned Rs. 800 Cr. as capital subsidy to the three Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) of the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG) for establishment of 7,432 electric vehicle public charging stations. Further, 148 EV Charging Stations were sanctioned to other entities under this scheme.

Under FAME-India Scheme phase-II, no incentive is given to EV manufacturers/ companies. The incentive/ concession is provided to consumers (buyers/end users) in the form of an upfront reduced purchase price of hybrid and electric vehicles to enable wider adoption, which will be reimbursed to the OEM (EV manufacturers) by Government of India. At present, total 62 OEMs have been registered as on 29.11.2023 to avail demand incentive under the scheme.

The Ministry of Heavy Industries sanctioned 7432 EV Charging Stations to 3 Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) and 148 EV Charging Stations to other entities spread in all states and 6 Union Territories under FAME India Scheme phase-II. The details of sanctioned e-charging stations in the country, State-wise under FAME-II, is annexed as ANNEXURE-I.

To increase number of e-charging stations in the country, MHI has recently sanctioned 7432 EV Charging Stations to 3 Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) under FAME India Scheme phase-II.

As per the e-vahan portal (Ministry of Road Transport and Highways), the detailed list of registered electric vehicles in the country, State-wise and year-wise since 2020 is annexed atANNEXURE-II.
