## ANSWER

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

- (a): Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid &) Electric Vehicles in India (FAME India) Scheme Phase-II was implemented for a period of five years from 01.04.2019 with a total budgetary support of Rs.11,500 crore.  The scheme incentivized sale of electric vehicles i.e. e2Ws, e-3Ws & e-4Ws.  Grants for deployment of e-buses and setting up of EV public charging stations  (EVPCS)  was  also  available  under  the  scheme.  Segment  wise,  number  of  electric vehicles sold under the FAME India scheme Phase-II, are as follows: -

| Sl. No.   | Segment      | No. of EVs sold under Scheme   |
|-----------|--------------|--------------------------------|
| 1         | e-2 wheelers | 14,69,343                      |
| 2         | e-3 wheelers | 1,78,952                       |
| 3         | e-4 wheelers | 23,311                         |
|           | Total        | 16,71,606                      |

Further, 6,862 electric buses were sanctioned to various cities/STUs/State Govt. entities for intra-city operations under the scheme.

(b): Within the revised outlay of Rs.11,500 crore for the scheme, an allocation of Rs.7,048 crore was made for demand incentives which has resulted in a significant increase in demand for electric vehicles. The EV penetration level has gone up from 0.71% to 6.82% during the FAME-II Scheme period as per details provided below :-

(c): Out of 6,862 e-buses sanctioned under to various cities/STUs/State Govt. entities for intra-city  operations  under  the  scheme,  5,135  e-buses  have  been  supplied  till  28.02.2024. However, quantitative studies of emission reductions for the year 2024 has not been done.

(d): The state-wise EVs sold under the FAME-II scheme are indicated at ANNEXURE .  The data indicates that Southern and Western states (Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu) are leading in total numbers of EVs sold under the scheme, while Northeastern and smaller states have minimal EV adoption.

(e): Yes, private sector's participation in Phase-II of the FAME Scheme has been effective in scaling the EV infrastructure and supply chain.  MHI has sanctioned ₹873.50 crore as a capital subsidy to three Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) under Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG) for setting up EV Public Charging Stations (EV PCS) with help of private sector participation.  Further, Progressive localization mandate i.e. Phased Manufacturing Programme (PMP) under the scheme has actively boosted demand for local supply chain.
