EV Policy in India — State by State

EV policy in India is layered — the central FAME II scheme provides the headline buyer subsidies and public charging support, and each state adds its own incentives on top. State policies vary widely in generosity, eligibility, and stackability with the central scheme. This hub summarises the eight most active states. Click through for buyer subsidies, charger capex incentives, and charging infrastructure policy specific to each.

What's covered in each state page

Every state guide in this series summarises:

  • Buyer subsidies — amounts, vehicle categories, eligibility
  • Road-tax and registration waivers — who qualifies, how to claim
  • Charging-infrastructure policy — public charging mandates, site provisions
  • EV charger capex subsidies — for dealers, CPOs, and commercial property owners
  • Electricity tariff concessions for EV charging
  • Manufacturing incentives where applicable (GST, capex, stamp duty)

These guides are intended as starting points — all policy is subject to government notification and revision. Always confirm current values with the state transport department before signing a contract or claiming a subsidy.

Frequently asked questions

Depends on what you're optimising for. Delhi has the highest individual buyer subsidies and most aggressive charging rollout. Maharashtra and Karnataka are strongest for commercial deployment (tariff concessions, capex subsidies). Tamil Nadu and Gujarat lead on manufacturing incentives. Each state's policy is summarised in the state pages linked above.
FAME II provides central-government subsidies for EV buyers (vehicle-side) and for public charging infrastructure deployment. State-level subsidies on chargers are typically separate and stackable with FAME II — but always confirm with the specific state notification, since some states explicitly carve out chargers already funded under FAME.
Yes — often mid-policy. Subsidy amounts get revised by government notifications, typically tied to fiscal year or cap-exhaustion events. Always verify with the official state transport department portal before claiming a subsidy or signing a supplier contract.
Several states (Haryana, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Telangana, UP) offer capital-expenditure subsidies, GST reimbursement, or stamp-duty waivers for EV-related manufacturing. Tech OVN's facility in Binola, Haryana operates within Haryana's EV manufacturing incentive framework.
The Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles (FAME II) scheme from the Ministry of Heavy Industries is the main central subsidy — covering vehicle-side incentives and some public-charging infrastructure. The PLI schemes for auto components and ACC batteries are the manufacturing-side central incentives. See our state pages for how these interact with state-level policy.
