The FAME-II scheme in India provided demand incentives to consumers for hybrid and electric vehicles, reimbursed to OEMs by the Government of India. Rs. 6,559 crore in demand incentives were reimbursed to OEMs under the scheme, which ended on March 31, 2024. As of December 12, 2025, 751 EV charging stations sanctioned and installed in Karnataka under the FAME-II scheme, as per information from Oil Marketing Companies (IOCL, BPCL and HPCL). The FAME-II scheme led to a rise in EV adoption from 0.71% in FY 2019-20 to 7.50% in FY 2024-25, supported the sale of 16,71,606 electric vehicles (as of March 31, 2025) and sanctioned 6,862 e-buses for deployment. It also strengthened domestic manufacturing through the Phased Manufacturing Programme (PMP). Information provided by the Minister of State for Heavy Industries, Shri Bhupathiraju Srinivasa Varma.

Under the FAME-II scheme, demand incentives were provided consumers (buyers/end users)in the form
of an upfront reduction in the purchase price of hybrid and electric vehicles, whichfacilitated wider
adoption. These incentives were reimbursed to the original equipmentmanufacturers (OEMs, i.e., EV
manufacturers) by the Government of India. Demand incentive of Rs.6,559 crore were reimbursed to
OEMs under the FAME-II Scheme which ended on 31/03/2024.
As per information from Oil Marketing Companies (IOCL, BPCL and HPCL), the number of EV charging
stations sanctioned and installed in Karnataka under FAME-II Scheme is 751.
The FAME-II scheme resulted in a substantial increase in market penetration with EV adoption level
rising from 0.71% in FY 2019-20 to 7.50% in FY 2024-25.This scheme supported the sale of 16,71,606
electric vehicles (as of March 31, 2025) and sanctioned 6,862 e-buses for deployment. FAME-II also
strengthened domestic manufacturing through the mandatory Phased Manufacturing Programme (PMP),
which required progressive localization of key EV components. This resulted in the expansion of the
domestic EV ecosystem, increased investments in manufacturing and the development of a robust local
supply chain. Collectively, these initiatives contributed to indirect and direct employment generation as
well.
This information was given by the Minister of State for Heavy Industries, Shri Bhupathiraju Srinivasa
Varma in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha today.
