In a landmark move towards sustainable transportation, the Indian government today announced a new ₹10,000 crore subsidy scheme aimed at accelerating electric vehicle adoption across the country. This ambitious initiative is part of India’s commitment to reduce carbon emissions and reduce dependence on fossil fuels by 2030.
Driving India’s Electric Mobility Revolution
The scheme, called the Electric Mobility Growth Program (EMGP) 2025, will provide direct financial incentives to buyers of electric two-wheelers, three-wheelers, cars, and commercial vehicles. The subsidies vary by vehicle type, with up to ₹50,000 for electric scooters and motorcycles, and up to ₹2 lakh for electric cars.
Key features of the program include:
- Subsidies tied to vehicle battery capacity and range
- Special incentives for rural buyers and women entrepreneurs
- Support for Electric Vehicles manufacturing startups and charging infrastructure deployment
- Collaboration with state governments to streamline Electric Vehicle registrations and permits
Transport Minister Anjali Verma said, “This scheme is a giant leap for India’s sustainable future. Our goal is to make electric vehicles affordable and convenient for every Indian, while creating green jobs and supporting our auto industry.”
Potential Impact on Indian Market and Environment
Experts estimate that the new subsidy program will boost EVs sales by 40% in 2025 alone, helping reduce urban air pollution significantly. The enhanced focus on rural areas also promises to electrify transportation for millions in smaller towns and villages, where access to clean mobility solutions has been limited.
Moreover, this initiative complements India’s targets under the COP28 climate agreement to achieve net-zero emissions by 2070.
Industry leaders like Rajesh Nair, CEO of GreenWheels EVs, welcomed the announcement: “This scheme will catalyze private investment, bring down prices, and accelerate consumer confidence in electric mobility.”
