## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR HEAVY INDUSTRIES (SHRI KRISHAN PAL GURJAR)

(a) & (b): 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 was 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, the Ministry of Heavy Industries formulated a Scheme namely Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid &) Electric Vehicles in India (FAME India) Scheme in 2015 to promote adoption of electric/ hybrid vehicles (xEVs) in India. The Phase-1 of the scheme was available up to 31 st March, 2019 with budget outlay of Rs 895 Cr. This  phase  of  FAME  India  Scheme  had  four  focus  areas  i.e.  technological  development, demand generation, pilot project and charging infrastructure components.

In the 1 st phase of the scheme, about 2.8 lakh xEVs were supported with total demand incentives  of  Rs.  359  Crore  [Approx].    In  addition,  425  electric  and  hybrid  buses,  as sanctioned under first phase of the scheme, are deployed across various cities in the country with Government Incentive of about Rs. 280 Cr.  The Ministry of Heavy Industries had also sanctioned  about  520  Charging  Stations/  Infrastructure  for  Rs.  43  Crore  (approx.)  under Phase-I of FAME-India Scheme.

Projects worth about Rs. 158 Crores are sanctioned for the technology development projects like establishment of testing Infrastructure, setting up of 'Centre of Excellence' for Advanced  Research in electrified transportation, Battery Engineering etc. to various organizations  /  institutions  like  Automotive  Research  Association  of  India  (ARAI),  IIT Madras,  IIT  Kanpur,  Non  Ferrous  Material  Technology  Development  Centre  (NFTDC), Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) etc.

Based on 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  for  a  period  of  five  years commencing from 1 st Apri1, 2019 with a total budgetary support of Rs. 10,000 crore.  This phase mainly focuses on supporting electrification of public & shared transportation, and aims to support through demand incentive 7090 eBuses, 5 lakh e-3 Wheelers, 55000 e-4 Wheeler Passenger Cars and 10 lakh e-2 Wheelers.

Under  Phase-II  of  FAME  India  Scheme,  2,31,257  Electric  Vehicles  have  been supported  till  01.02.2022  by  way  of  Demand  Incentive  amounting  to  about  Rs.  827  Cr. Further, MHI has sanctioned 6315 e-buses to 65 cities/STUs/CTUs/ State Govt. entities for intracity  and  intercity  operations  across  26  states/UT  under  the  Scheme.    The  Ministry  has also  sanctioned  2877  charging  stations  in  68  cities  across  25  states/Uts  under  FAME  India (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid & Electric Vehicles in India) Scheme Phase II.    Further,  1576  charging  stations  across  9  Expressways  and  16  Highways  are  also sanctioned under phase-II of FAME India Scheme.

(c): Sir, as per the e-vahan portal (Ministry of Road Transport and Highways), the detailed list  of  electric  vehicles  and  total  vehicles  on  roads,  State/UT-wise  including  Bihar  is  at ANNEXURE-I .

(d): The  Ministry  of  Heavy  Industries  had  also  sanctioned  520  Charging  Stations/  for developing  charging  Infrastructure  under  Phase-I  of  FAME-India  Scheme.    Under  FAME India Scheme I & II, a total of 475 charging stations have been installed as on 31 st Jan 2022 as per ANNEXURE-II .

(e): The  Government  has  approved  Production  Linked  Incentive  (PLI)  scheme  on  15 th September, 2021 to encourage manufacturing of Advanced Automotive Technology (AAT) Products  for  Auto  sector  in  India  including  electric  vehicles.    Overseas  companies  having registered office in India are also eligible to apply under this scheme subject to meeting the eligibility  criteria  and  establishing  manufacturing  facility  for  production  of  the  eligible products under this scheme.

(f): No Such proposal is under consideration in the Ministry of Heavy Industries.

(g): At  present,  investments  in  manufacturing  and  overall  value  addition  for  Advanced Chemistry Cells (ACCs) are negligible in India and almost entire domestic demand of ACCs is still being met through imports.  In order to reduce dependency of imported ACC battery for  electric  vehicles,  the  Government  on  12 th May,  2021  approved  a  Production  Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for manufacturing of Advance Chemistry Cell (ACC) in the country. The  total  outlay  of  the  scheme  is  Rs.  18,100  Crore  for  a  period  of  5  years.    The  scheme envisages  to  establish  a  competitive  ACC  battery  manufacturing  set  up  in  the  country  (50 GWh).  Additionally, 5GWh of niche ACC technologies is also covered under the Scheme. The scheme proposes a production linked subsidy based on applicable subsidy per KWh and percentage of value addition achieved on actual sales made by the manufacturers who set up production units.

(h): Sir,  the  Ministry  of  Heavy  Industries  formulated  a  Scheme  for  Faster  Adoption  and Manufacturing of (Hybrid &) Electric  Vehicles  in  India  (FAME  India)  Scheme  in  2015  to promote adoption of electric/ hybrid vehicles (xEVs) in the country.  At present, Phase-II of FAME India Scheme is being implemented on pan India basis including in the State of Bihar for  a  period  of  5  years  w.e.f.  01 st April,  2019  with  a  total  budgetary  support  of  Rs.  10,000 crores.

Further, following steps have been taken by the Government for adoption of electric vehicles in the country:

- i. The  demand  incentive  for  electric  two  wheelers  has  been  increased  to  Rs. 15,000/KWh from Rs. 10,000/KWh with an increase in cap from 20% to 40% of the cost of vehicle from 11 th June, 2021, thus enabling cost of Electric two wheelers at par with that of ICE two wheeler vehicles.
- ii. The Government on 12 th May, 2021 approved a Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for manufacturing of Advanced Chemistry Cell (ACC) in the country in order to bring  down  prices  of  battery  in  the  country.    Drop  in  battery  price  will  result  in  cost reduction of electric vehicles.
- iii. Electric Vehicles are covered under Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for Automobile and Auto Components, which was approved on 15 th September, 2021 with a budgetary outlay of Rs. 25,938 crore for a period of five years.
- iv. GST  on  electric  vehicles  has  been  reduced  from  12%  to  5%;  GST  on  chargers/ charging stations for electric vehicles has been reduced from 18% to 5%.
- v. Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRTH) announced that battery-operated vehicles will be given green license plates and be exempted from permit requirements.
- vi. MoRTH issued a notification advising states to waive road tax on EVs, which in turn will help reduce the initial cost of EVs.
