What Is the FAME India Scheme?

Latest News Related to the FAME India Scheme

Components of the FAME India Scheme

The Fame India scheme has several components, the purpose of which is to promote the adoption and manufacturing of electric vehicles (EVs) in India. Here are the key components:

S. No. Component Description
1 Incentives for purchasing EVs Electric Two-Wheelers: This will make e-bikes more affordable by giving buyers financial incentives.

Electric Three-Wheelers: This involves giving subsidies on auto-rickshaws and other three-wheelers to encourage clean public transport.

Electric Four-Wheelers: Different types/sizes of cars enjoy different privileges, but this also
means financial support when buying electric vehicles.
2 Charging Infrastructure Incentives Charging Stations: Aids have been given out to establish well-located public and non-public charging stations.

Battery Swapping Stations: These support the battery swapping infrastructure, mainly for two-wheelers and three-wheelers.
3 Production Encouragements These are funds and support provided to manufacturers that make EVs plus their components, like batteries and chargers.
4 Research and Development Funding and support for R&D activities to enhance EV technology plus battery inventions.
5 Demand Incentives Direct allowances and motivations to end-users would reduce the first instalment while purchasing electric cars, thereby promoting its adoption.
6 Operational Support Programs relating to training and skills development for the EV sector, such as manufacturing, maintenance, and servicing of electric vehicles.
7 Infrastructure Development Investments and subsidies are needed to build a robust array of battery charging and swapping hubs.
8 Environmental and Energy Efficiency Standards Backing up environmental compliance with energy efficiency standards for effective regulatory requirements on EVs.

How Does the FAME India Scheme Work?

Impact of the FAME India Scheme

The scheme also promotes the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid vehicles through a policy called the FAME India Scheme (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles). The six most notable impacts are:

Impact Description
Boosting the EV Adoption Offering financial incentives to consumers who buy such cars makes them affordable for a broader market segment, thus increasing the popularity of EVs.
Emission Reduction By encouraging electric vehicles, the FAME India Scheme helps reduce vehicular emissions, hence mitigating air pollution and improving urban air quality.
Support for Manufacturers Manufacturers has been encouraged by this policy to venture into EV technology and infrastructure. This has led to progressions in electrical vehicle manufacturing and widened the range of electrically powered cars sold in the market.
Infrastructural Development It is not enough to have electric vehicles in the market; for this country to fully embrace e-mobility, FAME India is also considering developing a charging infrastructure. This infrastructural development has addressed range anxiety.
Creation of Jobs Expanding the EV sector and its ancillary activities like battery making and charging infrastructure leads to creating jobs in both rural and urban locations.
Economic Effects The scheme thus helps promote a local EV industry by minimising dependence on imported petroleum products and boosting domestic production of electric vehicles (EVs) and their parts towards economic growth and energy self-sufficiency.
