## ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR HEAVY INDUSTRIES (SHRI BHUPATHIRAJU SRINIVASA VARMA)

(a), (b) & (e): The Electric Mobility Promotion Scheme (EMPS) 2024, notified on 13 th March, 2024, was implemented for a period of six months from 1 st April, 2024 till 30 th September, 2024 for faster adoption of e-2W & e-3W and development of their manufacturing eco system, with an outlay of Rs.778 crore.

The scheme for faster adoption and manufacturing of (hybrid) and electric vehicles phase II  (FAME-II) was implemented from 1 st April,  2019  to  31 st March,  2024,  with  an  outlay  of Rs.11,500 crore.  FAME-II scheme provided demand incentives for e-2W, e-3W & e-4W as well as grant for e-buses and setting up of electric vehicle (EV) public charging stations.

Under these two schemes, subsidy is provided to buyers of EVs in the form of an upfront reduction in the purchase price of EVs, which is later reimbursed to the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) by the Ministry of Heavy Industries (MHI).  Under FAME-II Scheme & EMPS 2024, there is no provision for state wise allocation of subsidy.

(c) & (d): There is no provision  for buyers of  EVs to make an application  for  claiming subsidy under FAME-II and EMPS 2024.  Under these two schemes, the subsidy is provided to buyers of EVs in the form of an upfront reduction in the purchase price of EV. Therefore, the question of any pending application for subsidy under FAME-II or EMPS 2024 from EV buyers, including  those  in  Chhattisgarh,  does  not  arise.    The  details  of  EVs  sold  in  the  state  of Chhattisgarh under the FAME-II Scheme and EMPS 2024 are tabulated below:

|   Sl. No. | Period                               | No. of EVs sold   |   Total amount of subsidy paid to beneficiaries (in Rs. crore) |
|-----------|--------------------------------------|-------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------|
|         1 | FAME-II (01.04.2022 - 31.03.2024)    | 33,552            |                                                         121.26 |
|         2 | EMPS-2024 (01.04.2024 to 30.09.2024) | 13,091            |                                                          16.74 |
