  • The PM Electric Drive Revolution in Innovative Vehicle Enhancement (PM E-DRIVE) Scheme was launched by the Ministry of Heavy Industries<\/strong> in 2024 <\/strong>to provide impetus to the green mobility & development of EV manufacturing eco-system <\/strong>in the country.\u00a0\u00a0\n
      \n
    • It replaced the earlier FAME (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles) Scheme<\/strong>, which began in 2015 to promote hybrid and electric vehicle technologies in India.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      • The scheme aims to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in India<\/strong>, focusing on electric two-wheelers (e-2Ws), electric three-wheelers (e-3Ws), e-ambulances, electric buses, and other emerging EV categories.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • The scheme also aims to establish robust charging infrastructure,<\/strong> and strengthen the EV manufacturing ecosystem <\/strong>in the country.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • <\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Under the scheme, demand incentives<\/strong> are primarily provided to buyers <\/strong>(consumers\/end users) of electric vehicles <\/strong>in the form of an upfront reduction in the purchase price<\/strong> of EVs.\u00a0\n
          \n
        • The Ministry of Heavy Industries has introduced E-vouchers <\/strong>for Electric vehicle buyers to avail the demand incentive under the scheme.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
