88,209 EVs were subsidized in Madhya Pradesh in FY 2025-26 under the PM E-DRIVE scheme

Madhya Pradesh deployed 94,277 electric vehicles (EVs) under the PM E-DRIVE program in FY 2025–2026. In Madhya Pradesh, 88,209 EVs were subsidised in FY 2025–2026; specifics are given in Annexure. Madhya Pradesh has not been given any electric buses under the PM E-DRIVE Scheme. The entire amount of demand incentives given directly to car buyers and original equipment manufacturers running distribution networks in Madhya Pradesh is not kept up to date centrally. The Ministry of Heavy Industries has not conducted any such evaluations.

The Government has implemented following schemes on pan India basis including two-tier and three-tier towns of Madhya Pradesh to promote the use of clean energy transport systems:

Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid &) Electric Vehicles in India (FAME India) Scheme Phase-II: The Government implemented this scheme for a period of five years from 01.04.2019 to 31.03.2024 with a total budgetary support of ₹11,500 crore. The scheme provided demand incentive for e-2Ws, e-3Ws, e-4Ws and grants for e-buses and setting up of EV public charging stations (EV PCS). FAME-II has supported the sale of approximately 16.72 lakh electric vehicles including e-2Ws, e-3Ws & e-4Ws and 6,862 e-buses were sanctioned for various cities out of which 5,299 e-buses have been deployed as on 31.07.2026. Under this scheme ₹912.50 crore have been allocated for setting up of EV PCS.

Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for Automobile and Auto Component Industry in India (PLI-Auto): The Government notified this scheme for Automobile and Auto Component Industry in India, on 23.09.2021, for enhancing India’s manufacturing capabilities for Advanced Automotive Technology (AAT) products, including EVs, with a budgetary outlay of ₹25,938 crore.

Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for National Programme on Advanced Chemistry Cell (ACC) Battery Storage : The Government on 09.06.2021 notified the PLI Scheme for manufacturing of ACC in the country with a budgetary outlay of ₹18,100 crore. The scheme aims to establish a competitive domestic manufacturing ecosystem for 50 GWh of ACC batteries.

PM Electric Drive Revolution in Innovative Vehicle Enhancement (PM EDRIVE) Scheme: This scheme with an outlay of ₹10,900 crore has been notified on 29.09.2024. This scheme supports incentivization of approximately 28.30 lakh electric vehicles (EVs) including e-2W, e-3W, e-Trucks, e-buses and e-Ambulances. Further, grant for upgradation of testing agencies is also available under this scheme. An allocation of ₹4,391 crore has been made under the scheme for deployment of 14,028 e-buses out of which 14,000 e-buses have been allocated. ₹2,000 crore has been allocated for deployment of EV PCS on pan India basis.

PM e-Bus Sewa-Payment Security Mechanism (PSM) Scheme: This Scheme notified on 28.10.2024, has an outlay of ₹3,435.33 crore and aims to support deployment of more than 38,000 electric buses. The objective of this scheme is to provide payment security to e-bus operators in case of default by Public Transport Authorities (PTAs).

Further, following initiatives have also been taken up by the Government of India to increase the use of electric vehicles in the country:–

i. GST on electric vehicles and chargers/ charging stations for electric vehicles has been reduced to 5%.

ii. Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRTH) announced that battery-operated vehicles will be given green license plates and be exempted from permit requirements.

iii. MoRTH issued a notification advising states to waive road tax on EVs, which in turn will help reduce the initial cost of EVs.
