FAME III will support the adoption of 30.5 million EVs across segments, and also help achieve the target of 30% electrification of India\u2019s transport sector.<\/h2>\n

The Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) has submitted its proposal to the Ministry of Heavy Industries for the continuation of the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles (FAME) scheme.<\/p>\n

FICCI has urged the government to continue the incentives offered for the faster adoption of EVs for the next 5 years, with a review at the end of 3 years. It is said that a sudden discontinuation of price incentives would lead to an increase in the prices of EVs by up to 25%. The current FAME II scheme is ending in March 2024.<\/p>\n

EV penetration in India is only 5%. As per FICCI, it is imperative to continue the FAME scheme to achieve the overall target of 30% set by the government of India by 2030. It has been estimated that if demand incentives as suggested are provided for the next 5 years, it would support the adoption of 30.5 million EVs across segments, and also help achieve the target of 30% electrification of India\u2019s transport sector. The incentives can be tapered down and eventually discontinued over the next 3-5 years as prices of batteries and EV components reduce further.<\/p>\n
