Unveiled in 2013, the national-level guidance document providing a vision and roadmap for faster adoption and manufacturing of EVs (full range of hybrid & electric vehicles) in India.
The National Electric Mobility Mission Plan (NEMMP) aims to achieve 6-7 million units of hybrid and electric vehicle sales in India by 2020.

FAME 1 Scheme

As an initiative under NEMMP, the Department of Heavy Industries (DHI) formulated a FAME scheme to support the market development of EVs and the manufacturing ecosystem. It has four focus areas: technology development, demand creation, pilot projects, and charging infrastructure.

The original plan did not include a demand incentive allocation for e-buses until it was partially revised in September 2017 for ‘fully electric buses’ (CMVR category – M2 and M3). Introduced a new incentive structure.

FAME 2 Scheme

In March 2019, out of the proposed EV fund support of INR 8596 crore (through demand incentives), INR 3545 crore was allocated to the e-bus segment. A maximum of 7,090 buses is planned to be supported through the second phase of the scheme.
