Government Policies for Electric Scooter
The hurdle in front of the EV industry is charging stations and consumers’ trust. There are very few electric charging stations in India and without adequate charging stations there will be insecurity among the buyers.
The Indian government as well as the state governments are providing many different subsidies for establishing public charging stations. Furthermore, the government has declared establishing PCS (Public Charging Stations) as a de-licensed activity and allowed private charging at residences and offices.
A total of Rs. 1000 crore has been allotted to FAME II for setting up charging stations at private and government offices. State governments have also announced that they are going to provide some incentives on public charging infrastructure. The government introduced an E-Amrit portal for creating awareness among the people about the need to shift from Petrol to Electric Fuel type vehicles.
