**Summary:**
The Ministry of Heavy Industries implemented the Electric Mobility Promotion Scheme 2024 (EMPS 2024) from April 1, 2024, to September 30, 2024. This six-month scheme aimed to accelerate the adoption of electric two-wheelers (e2W) and electric three-wheelers (e3W) and foster the growth of the electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing ecosystem in India. EMPS 2024 provided incentives exclusively for domestically manufactured and sold e2W and e3W vehicles. The scheme mandated compliance with a Phased Manufacturing Programme (PMP), requiring the indigenization of EV component manufacturing. This focus on domestic production and supply chains is intended to strengthen the EV manufacturing ecosystem and create employment opportunities for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of e2W and e3W. Shri Bhupathiraju Srinivasa Varma, Minister of State for Heavy Industries & Steel, provided this information in a written reply in the Lok Sabha.

The Electric Mobility Promotion Scheme (EMPS) 2024 was implemented for a period of 6 months from 1
th
April, 2024 till 30 September, 2024 for faster adoption of e-2W and e-3W to provide further impetus to the
green mobility and development of electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing eco-system in the country.
The EMPS 2024 scheme provided incentive only for e-2W and e-3W which are domestically manufactured
and sold. Further, EMPS also mandated compliance to Phased Manufacturing Programme (PMP), which
requires indigenization of manufacturing of EV components, thus strengthening the electric vehicle
manufacturing ecosystem in India, particularly regarding domestic production and supply chains. These
measures would also create employment opportunities at the OEMs for e-2W and e-3W.
This information was given by the Minister of State for Heavy Industries & Steel, Shri Bhupathiraju Srinivasa
Varma in a written reply in the Lok Sabha today.
