The PM E-Drive scheme targets 72,300 new fast-chargers with subsidies of up to 80 per cent
Key additions:
48,400 chargers for two- and three-wheelers
22,100 chargers for cars
1,800 chargers for buses and trucks
China’s 3 million public chargers power its EV success. India’s focus on charging is a step toward its 30 per cent EV target by 2030
Clear guidelines on subsidy disbursement are crucial to avoid delays and red tape
A strong charging network is key to EV adoption, especially for private vehicles that dominate Indian roads
Effective implementation of PM E-Drive can accelerate India's EV revolution and reduce fossil fuel dependence
