The Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid & Electric Vehicles (FAME II) scheme, extended through 2025, has allocated INR 10,000 crore in subsidies for electric buses, cars, and two-wheelers. Under the PM’s e-Drive Scheme, Delhi received 2,800 e-buses, Bengaluru 4,500, and Hyderabad 2,000 in early 2025¹⁰.

Financing Gap: A flawed EV finance ecosystem is hindering adoption. Market size is projected to rise from USD 2.4 billion in 2025 to USD 19.9 billion by 2030 but lacks transparent lending options¹².
Consumer Awareness: Only 2 % of car buyers chose EVs in 2024; education campaigns are critical to boost confidence¹³.
Rural Reach: EV penetration in rural India remains below 1 %; tailored subsidies could unlock vast new markets.
