    How to register your electric vehicle in India

    What's the story

    In India, the drive towards sustainability is turning the tide in favor of electric vehicles (EVs).

    Converting your conventional vehicle to electric is not only eco-friendly but also increasingly cost-effective.

    However, navigating the registration process for your newly electrified ride can feel like a maze.

    This article breaks down the essential steps for converting and registering your conventional vehicle as an electric one, making your green journey smoother.

    Step 1

    Understanding the conversion process

    Before diving into the bureaucratic maze, let's understand what going electric with your existing car entails.

    This conversion involves removing the internal combustion engine and replacing it with an electric motor. You'll also need to install a battery pack.

    This process needs to be approved by the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) or another notified agency.

    They ensure the conversion is safe and meets all regulatory standards.

    Step 2

    Gathering necessary documentation

    The next step is to collect all the required documents for registration.

    This includes your vehicle's original registration certificate, insurance documents, pollution under control certificate, and a no-objection certificate from your financier if your vehicle is under loan.

    Plus, you will need the ARAI approval certificate for the conversion kit used in your vehicle.

    Step 3

    Applying for conversion at RTO

    Once you have all the documents ready, proceed to your local Regional Transport Office (RTO).

    Apply for conversion by submitting an application along with ₹1,000 as a conversion fee.

    Your converted vehicle will be inspected by the RTO against the submitted documents and ARAI certification to ensure compliance with safety norms and environmental standards.

    Step 4

    Availing government incentives

    Perks of owning an EV: Aside from the environmental benefits, the government is offering various incentives to EV owners, including tax cuts, reduced fees, and subsidies under FAME India.

    Always check for the latest benefits at your RTO or online.

    Keeping up-to-date on new incentives and regulations will ensure a smooth transition.
