**Policy Summary: Electric Mobility Promotion in Chhattisgarh**
This document summarizes the Indian government's initiatives to promote electric vehicle (EV) adoption and manufacturing in Chhattisgarh, specifically addressing the implementation of the Electric Mobility Promotion Scheme (EMPS) 2024 and the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles (FAME-II) scheme.
The EMPS 2024, with an outlay of Rs. 778 crore, was implemented from April 1, 2024, to September 30, 2024. It focused on accelerating the adoption of electric two-wheelers (e2W) and electric three-wheelers (e3W) and fostering the development of their manufacturing ecosystem. The FAME-II scheme, implemented from April 1, 2019, to March 31, 2024, had a larger outlay of Rs. 11,500 crore. FAME-II provided demand incentives for e2W, e3W, and electric four-wheelers (e4W), as well as grants for electric buses (eBuses) and the establishment of EV public charging stations.
Under both schemes, the Ministry of Heavy Industries (MHI) provides subsidies to EV buyers through an upfront reduction in the purchase price, which is subsequently reimbursed to the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). Neither scheme allocates subsidies on a state-wise basis, and there is no application process for individual EV buyers to claim subsidies.
From April 1, 2022, to March 31, 2024, under the FAME-II scheme, 33,552 EVs were sold in Chhattisgarh, with a total subsidy of Rs. 121.26 crore disbursed. During the EMPS 2024 implementation period (April 1, 2024, to September 30, 2024), 13,091 EVs were sold in Chhattisgarh, with a total subsidy of Rs. 16.74 crore disbursed.

ANSWER
THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR HEAVY INDUSTRIES
(SHRI BHUPATHIRAJU SRINIVASA VARMA)
(a), (b) & (e): The Electric Mobility Promotion Scheme (EMPS) 2024, notified on 13th March,
2024, was implemented for a period of six months from 1st April, 2024 till 30th September, 2024
for faster adoption of e-2W & e-3W and development of their manufacturing eco system, with
an outlay of Rs.778 crore.
The scheme for faster adoption and manufacturing of (hybrid) and electric vehicles phase
II (FAME-II) was implemented from 1st April, 2019 to 31st March, 2024, with an outlay of
Rs.11,500 crore. FAME-II scheme provided demand incentives for e-2W, e-3W & e-4W as well
as grant for e-buses and setting up of electric vehicle (EV) public charging stations.
Under these two schemes, subsidy is provided to buyers of EVs in the form of an upfront
reduction in the purchase price of EVs, which is later reimbursed to the Original Equipment
Manufacturers (OEMs) by the Ministry of Heavy Industries (MHI). Under FAME-II Scheme &
EMPS 2024, there is no provision for state wise allocation of subsidy.-2
(c) & (d): There is no provision for buyers of EVs to make an application for claiming
subsidy under FAME-II and EMPS 2024. Under these two schemes, the subsidy is provided to
buyers of EVs in the form of an upfront reduction in the purchase price of EV. Therefore, the
question of any pending application for subsidy under FAME-II or EMPS 2024 from EV buyers,
including those in Chhattisgarh, does not arise. The details of EVs sold in the state of
Chhattisgarh under the FAME-II Scheme and EMPS 2024 are tabulated below:
Sl. Period No. of Total amount of subsidy paid to
No. EVs sold beneficiaries (in Rs. crore)
1 FAME-II 33,552 121.26
