ANSWERED ON 22.07.2025
NEMMP AND FAME SCHEME
364. SHRI BIDYUT BARAN MAHATO:
Will the Minister of HEAVY INDUSTRIES be pleased to state:
(a) the objectives and achievements of the National Electric Mobility Mission Plan
(NEMMP) and Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles (FAME)
scheme in reducing vehicular emissions;
(b) the number of Electric Vehicles (EVs) supported under the scheme so far and the extent
of infrastructure developed; and
(c) whether the Government plans to expand the FAME scheme to Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities
and promote local EV manufacturing?
ANSWER
THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR HEAVY INDUSTRIES
(SHRI BHUPATHIRAJU SRINIVASA VARMA)
(a) & (b):
1. The National Electric Mobility Mission Plan (NEMMP) 2020 is a National Mission document
providing the vision and the roadmap for the faster adoption of electric vehicles and their
manufacturing in the country. As part of the NEMMP 2020, the Ministry of Heavy Industries
formulated a Scheme namely; Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid &) Electric Vehicles
in India (FAME India) Scheme in 2015 to promote adoption of electric/ hybrid vehicles (xEVs) in
India. The second phase of FAME India scheme was implemented during 01.04.2019 till
31.03.2024.
