(a):      The PM E-DRIVE Scheme has been implemented on pan India basis and no state-wise allocation has been done under the scheme.  The incentives are provided to eligible electric vehicle buyers in the form of an upfront reduction in the purchase price, which is subsequently reimbursed to the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) by the Ministry of Heavy Industries (MHI). In view of the same, the details of total funds allocated versus utilized under PM E-DRIVE for FY 2025-26 and FY 2026-27, and the claims currently pending reimbursement under the PM E-DRIVE Scheme as on 22/07/2026 is as under : -

Table : Status of Funds allocated under PM E-DRIVE Scheme in

FY 25-26 & 26-27 and actual utilization till 22.07.2026

Rs. crore	Fund Allocated	Actual Expenditure	Claims pending for Disbursement (under processing)
FY 2025-26	1,300	1,160.32	-
FY 2026-27	1,500	169.06 (as on 22.07.2026)	139.43

 

(b):      Users may at times experience portal friction due to network issues, anti-virus scanning or urgent maintenance activity by NIC, or Aadhaar authentication issues as mentioned below : 

1.           The mobile number used for face authentication was not linked with the beneficiary's Aadhaar.

2.           Aadhaar biometric authentication could not be completed due to outdated or mismatched biometric records, requiring beneficiaries to update their biometrics.

The e-voucher system records transactions upon successful completion of the Aadhaar face authentication process. Since unsuccessful or pending authentication attempts are not captured as completed transaction records, separate State-wise information on such cases is not maintained.

(c):       The number of pending subsidy disbursements for e-rickshaws and e-carts, including in Chhattisgarh, for all categories of EV purchasers (including tribal women's self-help groups, if any) is NIL as upfront subsidy is already passed on to the customer at the time of purchase of EV.

(d):    There is no such proposal.
