## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF HEAVY INDUSTRIES & PUBLIC ENTERPRISES (SHRI PRAKASH JAVADEKAR)

(a) to (d): The National Electric Mobility Mission Plan (NEMMP) 2020 is a National Mission document providing the vision and 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.

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. The Phase-1 of the scheme was available up to 31 st March, 2019. The Scheme had 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  were  discontinued  w.e.f.  1 st October,  2018  to  promote Advanced Battery Vehicles.

Based on the outcome and experience gained during Phase-I of FAME India Scheme and after having consultations with all stakeholders, including Industry and Industry Associations, the Government notified Phase-II of FAME India Scheme on 8 th March, 2019, which is for a period of three years commencing from 1 st April, 2019, with a total budgetary support  of  Rs.  10,000  crore.  This  phase  will  mainly  focus  on  supporting  electrification  of public & shared transportation and aims to support through demand incentive about 7000 eBuses, 5 lakh e-3 Wheelers, 55000 e-4 Wheeler Passenger Cars and 10 lakh e-2 Wheelers.  In addition, creation of charging infrastructure will also be supported under the Scheme.

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

|   S.No. | Financial Year   | Budget Allocation   | Fund Utilization                                 |

Under  Demand  Creation,  which  is  the  focus  area  of  the  scheme,  the  purchaser  of electric/hybrid vehicles is given an upfront reduction in purchase price by the dealer at the time of purchase of xEVs.

In  the  First  Phase  of  the  Scheme  about  2.8  lakh  hybrid  and  electric  vehicles  were supported  by  way  of  demand  incentive  amounting  to  about  Rs  359  crore.  Further,  DHI sanctioned 425 electric and hybrid buses to various cities in the country with total cost of about 280 Crores. The Department of Heavy Industry had sanctioned about 500 Charging Stations/ Infrastructure for Rs. 43 Crore (approx.) under Phase-I of FAME-India Scheme.

Under Phase-II of FAME India Scheme, 27,201 Electric Vehicles have been supported till  10.09.2020  by  way  of  Demand  Incentive  amounting  to  about  Rs.  95  Cr.  Further,  5595 electrical  buses  have  been  sanctioned  to  various  State/  City  Transport  Undertakings  under Phase-II of the Scheme. This involves Government incentive of around Rs. 2800 Cr.

Department  of  Heavy  Industry  has  also  sanctioned  2,636  Electric  Vehicles  (EVs) Charging Stations amounting to Rs 500 Crore (Approx.) in 62 cities across 24 States/UTs under FAME  India  (Faster  Adoption  and  Manufacturing  of  Hybrid  &  Electric  Vehicles  in  India) scheme phase II.
