Here are 10 key points about the new PM E-DRIVE scheme:
- Subsidy for EV 2-Wheelers: The PM E-DRIVE scheme offers a subsidy of ₹10,000 for electric 2-wheelers, making them more affordable for consumers.
- Subsidy for EV 3-Wheelers: Electric 3-wheelers receive a higher subsidy of ₹50,000 under the scheme, encouraging the adoption of eco-friendly transportation.
- Scheme Duration: The subsidies are available until March 2025, providing a limited window for buyers to take advantage of these incentives.
- Reduction in Subsidy: From April 2025, the subsidy for electric 3-wheelers will be reduced to ₹25,000, while the subsidy for 2-wheelers will also see a reduction.
- Market Share Goals: The scheme aims to achieve a 10% market share for electric 2-wheelers and a 15% market share for electric 3-wheelers by March 2026.
- Exclusion of Electric Cars: Electric cars are not included in this scheme as they already benefit from a lower 5% GST rate.
- Support for E-Buses: The government has allocated ₹4,391 crore for procuring 14,028 e-buses to be used in public transport across nine major cities.
- Incentives for E-Trucks and E-Ambulances: The scheme also includes ₹500 crore for incentivizing e-trucks and another ₹500 crore for deploying e-ambulances.
