## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR HEAVY INDUSTRIES & PUBLIC ENTERPRISES (SHRI BABUL SUPRIYO)

----------

(a) to (c): 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.  This  plan  has  been  designed  to  enhance  national  fuel security, to provide affordable and environmentally friendly transportation and to enable the Indian automotive industry to achieve global manufacturing leadership. Under NEMMP 2020, there is an ambitious target to achieve 6-7 million sales of hybrid and electric vehicles by the year 2020.

As  part  of  the  NEMMP  2020,  Department  of  Heavy  Industry  formulated  a  Scheme namely  Faster  Adoption  and  Manufacturing  of  (Hybrid  &)  Electric  Vehicles  India  (FAMEIndia) Scheme in March, 2015 to promote electric & hybrid vehicle (xEVs) in the country. At present, the Phase-1 of the scheme is under implementation, which was originally for a period of  2  years  till  31 st March  2017,  but  has  been  extended  further  till  31 st March  2019  or  till Notification  of  FAME-II,  whichever  is  earlier.  The  Scheme  has  four  focus  areas  namely Demand Creation, Pilot Project, Technology Development/ R&D and Charging Infrastructure.

The Scheme has been amended from time to time as per notification detailed below: -

-  Vide Notification S.O. 2696(E) dated 30/08/2015, the scheme for Electric and Hybrid 2W and 3W of all types was made applicable for their sale anywhere in India.
-  The Scheme for 3W (Category L5) was further extended for Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) variant vide Notification S.O. 4175(E) dated 23/12/2016.
-  Electric 3W (with maximum speed not exceeding 25km/hr.) has also been included for availing incentive under the scheme Vide Notification S.O. 2199(E) dated 04/07/2017.
-  L5  category  has  been  included  in  the  retro  fitment  category  vide  Notification  S.O. 2198(E) dated 12/07/2017.
-  Fully  Electric  Bus  has  also  been  included  for  demand  incentive  under  the  Scheme Vide Notification S.O. 3012(E) dated 12/09/2017.
-  Vide Notification S.O. 4994(E) dated 27/09/2018, the benefits of incentive available to Conventional Battery  Vehicles  are  discontinued  w.e.f.  1 st October,  2018  to  promote Advanced Battery Vehicles.

The details of the budgetary allocation to implement the FAME-India Scheme and the fund utilization are summarized hereunder: -
