Standardization Of Ev Manufacturing And Charging

GOVERNMENT OF INDIA MINISTRY OF HEAVY INDUSTRIES RAJYA SABHA UNSTARRED QUESTION NO. 1514 ANSWERED ON 01.08.2025 STANDARDIZATION OF EV MANUFACTURING AND CHARGING

1514. SMT. SUMITRA BALMIK:

Will the Minister of HEAVY INDUSTRIES be pleased to state:

(a) whether Government has taken any steps towards standardization of specifications relating to Power Train and Drive Train in electric vehicles, if so, the details thereof;

(b) whether Government has issued any guidelines for standardization of EV charging protocols and infrastructure across the country, if so, the details thereof; and

(c) the steps being taken by the Ministry towards promotion of domestic manufacturing ecosystem for electric vehicles, including motors, batteries, BMS, EMS, chargers, etc? ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR HEAVY INDUSTRIES (SHRI BHUPATHIRAJU SRINIVASA VARMA)

(a) & (b): Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has formulated various Indian Standards for E-Mobility. The list of Indian Standard is attached at Annexure I. Further, as per inputs received from Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH), following automotive

Industry Standards related to electric power train of vehicle have been notified by MoRTH: - i. Construction and Functional Safety Requirements. (AIS 038) ii. Measurement of Electrical Energy Consumption (AIS 039) iii. Specific Requirements for measuring the range of Electric Power Train of Vehicles, (AIS

040) iv. Method of Measuring the Range and measurement of Net Power and the Maximum 30 Minute Power and speed. (AIS 41). v. Specific Requirements for L Category Electric Power Train Vehicles -AIS 156 BIS has published Indian Standards related to EV Charging Infrastructure. These standards specify the safety and quality parameters for connectors, communication protocols, Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE), Battery Swapping Systems, etc. The list of Indian standards published by BIS is enclosed at Annexure II. Further, Ministry of Power has issued "Guidelines for Installation and Operation of Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure-2024", in September 2024, which outline standards and protocols to create connected and interoperable EV charging infrastructure network.-2- MoRTH has amended the AIS standards to prescribe the technical requirements pertaining to vehicle inlet connectors and to ensure interoperability for conductive charging systems in all M (Passenger) and N (Goods) categories except N1 [ goods vehicle not exceeding

3.5 tonnes Gross vehicle Weight (GVW)].

(c): To boost domestic manufacturing of EVs and their components, MHI has launched schemes such as PLI-Auto, PLI-ACC and SPMEPCI. i. PLI-Auto scheme incentivises domestic manufacturing of EVs and specified EV components subject to domestic value addition (DVA) of minimum 50%.

ii. PLI-ACC promotes domestic manufacturing of advanced chemistry cell, which is inter alia required for traction battery for EV. iii. SPMEPCI promotes domestic manufacturing of electric passenger cars with specified DVA conditions.
