Each electric two-wheeler will get a subsidy of ₹10,000, while electric three-wheelers will receive ₹50,000 until March 2025.
Incentives for electric trucks and ambulances
The government has earmarked ₹500 crore to boost the adoption of electric trucks, with incentives linked to scrappage certificates from authorized scrapping centers. Also, another ₹500 crore has been allocated for rolling out e-ambulances, hybrids included. This highlights the government's commitment to modernizing emergency services across the country.
Government commits ₹2,000 crore for EV charging stations
To tackle the challenge of a sturdy charging network, the government has committed a whopping ₹2,000 crore to establish public charging stations for EVs all over India.
