**Summary:**
The Electric Mobility Promotion Scheme (EMPS) 2024 was implemented by the Government of India's Ministry of Heavy Industries from April 1, 2024, to September 30, 2024. The scheme's objective was to accelerate the adoption of electric two-wheelers (e2W) and electric three-wheelers (e3W) and to further stimulate the electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing ecosystem in India. EMPS 2024 focused on incentivizing the domestic manufacturing and sale of e2Ws and e3Ws. A key component of the scheme was the mandated compliance with a Phased Manufacturing Programme (PMP), requiring the increased indigenization of EV component manufacturing. This strategic approach aimed to strengthen domestic production capabilities and supply chains within the Indian EV sector, while also generating employment opportunities for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of e2Ws and e3Ws.

ELECTRONIC MOBILITY PROMOTION SCHEME 2024
2556. SHRI YADUVEER WADIYAR:
Will the Minister of HEAVY INDUSTRIES be pleased to state:
(a) the objective of the Electronic Mobility Promotion Scheme (EMPS) 2024 in promoting e-
2Ws and e-3Ws;
(b) the manner in which EMPS 2024 aims to strengthen the electric vehicle manufacturing
ecosystem in India, particularly regarding domestic production and supply chains; and
(c) the measures taken to ensure that the implementation of EMPS 2024 creates significant
employment opportunities within the EV sector?
ANSWER
THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR HEAVY INDUSTRIES
(SHRI BHUPATHIRAJU SRINIVASA VARMA)
(a): The Electric Mobility Promotion Scheme (EMPS) 2024 was implemented for a period
of 6 months from 1st April, 2024 till 30th 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.
(b) & (c): 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.
