Operational guideline of EMPS 2024

MINISTRY OF HEAVY INDUSTRIES Udyog Bhawan, New Delhi-110011 Operational Guidelines for Electric Mobility Promotion Scheme-2024 1. INTRODUCTION: 1.1. The Government of India has notified the Electric Mobility Promotion Scheme (EMPS)-2024 for promotion of electric mobility in the country. 1.2. The EMPS-2024, with an outlay of Rs.500 crore, will be implemented over a period 4 months w.e.f. 15 April 2024 till 31St July 2024, for faster adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) i.e. electric two wheeler (e-2W) & three wheeler (e-3W), and development of EV manufacturing eco-system in the country. 1.3. The Scheme is proposed to be implemented through the following components: i. Subsidies: Demand Incentives for e-2W & e-3W, and ii. Administration of the Scheme including IEC (Information, Education & Communication) activities and fee for project management agency (PMA). 2. SUPPORT FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES: General Information 2.1. The Demand Incentives are important components of the Scheme which directly help in demand generation of electric vehicles (EVs). 2.2. The following categories of vehicles will be eligible for support: a. Two wheelers (electric) — e-2W & b. | Three Wheelers (electric)- e-3W including registered e-rickshaws / e-carts. Page no. 1 of 40263i 2.4. 2,5; 2.6. rae 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. However, in addition to commercial use, privately or corporate owned registered e-2W will also be eligible under the Scheme. Further, where EVs are being purchased from eligible OEMs by any department of the Central or State Government or its agencies, EMPS- 2024 demand incentive shall not be extended, as it amounts to passing of funds from one government head to another. All vehicles need to be registered under CMVR, 1989 for becoming eligible for reimbursement of demand incentives/ support. Vehicles which comply with EMPS-2024 eligibility criteria will be considered under this Scheme. Additionally, all EVs must be manufactured within the validity period of EMPS-2024 certificate. Further, EVs that will be registered after the terminal date of the Scheme (at present 31t July 2024) will not be eligible for incentive. It is proposed to extend demand incentive @Rs.5,000/- per kWh of the battery capacity (i.e. energy content measured in kWh) for e-2W/ e-3W registered during the Scheme period. Further, there will be capping of incentive per vehicle as specified in Annexure-IV of the Scheme Notification or 15% of ex-factory price for e-2w/ e-3w, whichever is lower. & It is proposed to restrict demand incentives to EVs with ex-factory price less than a particular threshold value as defined in the Annexure-IV of the Scheme notification. Page no. 2 of 402.8. The Demand Incentive shall be available for buyers (end users/consumers) in the form of an up front-reduced purchase price to enable wider adoption, which will be reimbursed to OEM by MHI, Govt. of India. 2.9. For individual beneficiaries, not more than one EV of a particular category will be incentivised. 2.10.

If the battery capacity (C/3 capacity for high energy battery and 1C capacity for high power battery) measured during the testing, differs more than +5% from the manufacturers declared specification, then the measured battery capacity during the test shall be considered as rated battery capacity for determining demand incentive. If the battery capacity (C/3 capacity for high energy battery and 1C capacity for high power battery) measured during the testing is within +5% of the manufacturer's declared specification, then the manufacturer's declared battery capacity shall be considered as rated battery capacity for determining demand incentive. J Page no. 27 of 40This value shall be rounded to first decimal place and reported in kWh. Demand incentive for e-2W and e-3W shall be lowest of the following: i) Energy content in kWh x INR 5,000 li) The demand incentive shall be subject to upper cap limit of 15% of ex-factory price of the vehicle. lii) Capped incentive per vehicle as per details specified in Annexure- IV of the Scheme Notification. 3.0 Application for Eligibility Assessment 3.1 For Vehicle Models already type approved: 3.1.1.
