India’s PM Electric Drive Revolution in Innovative Vehicle Enhancement (PM E-DRIVE) Scheme aims to accelerate the transition to electric mobility and strengthen the country’s EV ecosystem. PM E-DRIVE promotes the adoption of EVs through financial incentives, digital integration, and infrastructure development. The scheme also emphasizes the deployment of e-ambulances and e-trucks to improve logistics and public services while reducing emissions.
The scheme operates under three primary financial categories: subsidies for EV adoption, grants for infrastructure and testing facilities, and funding for education and project management. PM E-DRIVE ensures accessibility to rural and marginalized areas, aiming to support over 280 thousand EVs. The scheme reduces India’s dependence on fossil fuels and mitigates carbon emissions, reinforcing the country’s commitment to green mobility.
