5. Need for Electromobility in India
 Reduce the carbon footprint
 A drive towards sustainable means of transport
 Noiseless transport
 To cut down on the import subsidy bill for petroleum
 To improve upon the air quality across the country
 Air pollution is the fifth leading cause of death in India after high
blood pressure, indoor air pollution, tobacco smoking and poor
nutrition, with about 620,000 premature deaths occurring from air
pollution-related diseases in 2013

6. ElectroMobility Plan 2020 - India
 India has come up with National Electric Mobility Mission Plan 2020
(NEMMP 2020)
 Plans to introduce 6-7 million electric vehicles on the road by 2020
 For the same, a mechanism has been developed for speedy
decision making empowered bodies at the apex level in the form of
National Council for Electric Mobility and National Board for Electric
Mobility
 The Department of Heavy industries of India will provide viability
gap funding through subvention to support the extra cost of
acquisition and operation of these vehicles by state governments or
designated bodies.
 In the first phase, a pilot project to provide last mile connectivity to
the Delhi Metro through electric passenger vehicles, has been
approved. All the other states have been brought on board and
different states have already appointed nodal officers to co-ordinate
with DHI and vehicle manufacturers for the implementation of those
pilot projects

7. Initiatives: E-Vehicles
E-Rickshaws
 Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Bill: Established battery-powered e-
rickshaws as a valid form of commercial transport
 Paving the way for their operation in the country
Solar Electric Hybrid Scooter
 One of the companies called ETI Dynamics has showcased a
prototype of its solar electric hybrid scooter which comes with a canopy
of bendable solar panel
 Provides some shade to the rider and also power the vehicle
 The prototype can be charged on the go and can travel for more than
50 km on a single charge at a top speed of 45 kmph
 It can revolutionize the electric vehicle market in India which has been
limited largely to cars

9. Financial Push to ramp up number of EVs on roads
 India may spend 200 million Euros over the next two years (till
2017) on incentives and subsidies for makers and buyers of electric
vehicles as part of an effort to have at least six million electric
vehicles on the country’s roads by 2020
 Total spend of 3430 million Euros by 2020
 The government expects the electric vehicles to help the country
save 2.2 million tonnes (mt) to 2.5 mt of liquid fuel, valued
around Rs.14,000-15,000 crore (2000 – 2020 million euros).
 Will reduce country’s carbon dioxide emissions by up to 1.5%.
 The policy would help facilitate sales of at least 800,000 electric
vehicles, led by the sale of two- and three-wheelers

10. Faster Adoption and Manufacture of Electric Vehicles -
India
(FAME India)
 A detailed scheme “FAME India” (Faster Adoption and Manufacture of
Electric Vehicles in India) based on NEMMP 2020
 FAME India scheme with an outlay of 113.5 million Euros has been
launched for the initial two years – Phase I (2015-17)
The scheme would cover the following areas:
 Cities under “Smart Cities” initiatives.
 Major metro agglomerations – Delhi NCR, Greater Mumbai, Kolkatta,
Chennai, Bengaluri, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad.
 All State and other Urban Agglomerations/Cities with 1
million+population (as per 2011 census)
 Cities of the North Eastern States
 Will cover all vehicle segments i.e. two, three and four wheelers, cars,
LCVs, Buses etc and all forms of hybrid(Mild/Strong/Plug-in) and pure
electric vehicles.

12. Incentives under FAME India
 A detailed incentive scheme under “FAME India” is tabulated
below:
 `
Vehicle Segment Minimum incentive (INR) Maximum incentive (INR)
2 wheeler scooter 1800 22,000
Motorcycle 3500 29,000
3 wheeler Autorikshaw 3300 61,000
4 wheeler cars 11,000 1,38,000
LCVs 17,000 1,87,000
Bus 30,00,000 66,00,000
Retro Fitment Category 15 % or INR 30,000 if
reduction in fuel
consumption is 10-30%
30 % of Kit price or INR
90,000 if reduction in fuel
consumption is more than
30 %

13. Pilot Projects under consideration by Department of Heavy
Industries
 Running pure electric vehicles (7 seater) in the last 2 Kms at Taj
Mahal (Agra)
 Pure Electric 2 wheeler vehicles for home delivery (Dominos, KFCs
etc)
 Pure electric 3 wheelers/small 4 wheelers for fruit and vegetable
distribution and garbage disposal etc.
 Electric cars for taxi fleets, corporate hire and rental scheme use
etc.
 Last mile connectivity from metro stations.
 Hybrid and electric buses for public transport and creation of clean
air islands for selected areas
Local manufacturing of vehicles will lead to employment
generation direct (job creation of 60 to 65 thousand + indirect
job creation in components like battery, motors, power
electronic devices etc. totaling 0.25 to 0.3 million)
