A cleaner and greener planet is the need of the hour. While changing the environment in a day’s time is implausible, we can certainly take small steps that will show results over time. One such measure is shifting to fossil-fuel-free Electric Vehicles (EV). Did you know that India had electric vehicles back in the late 1990s? However, due to insufficient technology, these vehicles saw a rapid decline. However, with today’s advanced technology and alternative commuting options, now is the best time to adopt greener modes of transportation. Moreover, the Government of India offers subsidies on electric vehicles, leading to savings in Lakhs. Here’s what you need to know about the Electric Vehicle Subsidy in India.

Government Subsidy on Electric Vehicles

To increase the usage of electric vehicles, the Government has increased its subsidy scheme for the purchase of electric vehicles. According to Budget 2022-23, the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles (FAME) scheme shall provide a subsidy of up to INR 2908 Cr. The first phase of FAME began in April 2015, and it lasted till 2019 after numerous extensions. After the end of phase 1, phase 2 of FAME was released, which was supposed to end in March 2022. However, the Government has extended the period till March 2024. The phase-2 FAME scheme has supported over 200,000 vehicles, and the subsidy has amounted to INR 900 Cr.

You can get an incentive of INR 15,000 per KWh on two-wheeler EVs with an incentive cap of 40% of the vehicle cost. Previously, the incentive provided was INR 10,000 with a 20% incentive cap. Due to additional incentives at the state level, Karnataka ranks first when it comes to the number of beneficiaries under the FAME Scheme, followed by Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Delhi.

You can avail of tax exemptions of up to INR 1.5 Lakh if you purchase the EV by taking a loan. Road Tax and discounts on registration fees are among the other subsidy on electric vehicles offered by the Government / State Government

Electric Vehicle Vs. Petrol Vehicle/Diesel Vehicle – A Comparison

Energy Cost:

With Electric Vehicles, you do not have to worry about the changing prices of petrol and diesel. EVs use electricity to charge the batteries, and in India, the average per unit (1 Kilowatt/hour) costs anywhere between INR 7 to 10. Assuming the battery power of a 250 Km range 4-wheeler is 40 kWh, at INR 8 per unit, your electricity cost would be INR 350 for every 250 kilometres. In comparison, petrol and diesel prices are unstable, and have been on an upward trajectory for the longest time. We can expect even higher fuel costs in the future. Moreover, alternative renewable energy resources are further expected to reduce the energy and electricity costs.

Environmental Impact:

Crude oil is mixed with several chemicals to form petrol and diesel. Burning these chemicals leads to the emission of pollutants that are incredibly harmful to the environment. The carbon footprint from Electric Vehicles is not zero since electricity, too, is generated from fossil fuels. However, if you compare an electric vehicle vs petrol vehicle, the former is relatively greener.

Subsidies:

To accelerate the purchase of EVs, the Government offers subsidy on electric vehicles such as INR 10,000 per kWh for the first 10000 EV purchases. In 2019, the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles (FAME) scheme offered INR 15,000 per kWh for a two-wheeler purchase.

Pricing:

Another reason the Government offers subsidies on EVs is their high cost. The battery used in these vehicles comes at a high price tag. These batteries are made of lithium, but are much bigger in size. However, by availing of the electric vehicle subsidy by central Government, consumers can bridge the gap between the costs of the two types of vehicles.

Maintenance Cost:

Electric Vehicles do not require oil or filter changes; hence, they require low minimal maintenance. EVs have fewer components, which means lesser maintenance.

Tax Benefits:

If you are taking a loan for purchasing a 4-wheeler or 2-wheeler EV, you can get tax exemptions of up to INR 1.5 Lakh under Section 80EEB of the Income Tax Act, 1961. You may avail of this benefit only once, and you should purchase the EV for personal use only. These benefits are not available for fuel-powered vehicles.

How to apply for Vehicle Loan?

While applying for an EV loan, you can follow the same steps as you would for any other vehicle loan. Here’s how to apply for Vehicle Loans.

  • Select your desired EV from your car/two-wheeler dealership.
  • Compare interest rates, maximum loan amount and tenure offered by various lenders.
  • Once you decide on the lender, check their application process, whether it is online or offline.
  • Fill out the application form and submit ID and address proof documents along with the proforma invoice of the car.
  • Once approved, the lender will disburse the loan amount in the car dealership’s name.

Final Note

Irrespective of which type of vehicle you use, you must assess the pros and cons of electric cars and fuel-based cars. Of course, the subsidy on Electric Vehicles, makes it a more lucrative option. The great news is that you can also apply for vehicle loans to buy an EV, pay a small down payment and still avail of the subsidy. Ensure you check your state-wise rules and subsidy benefits before purchasing an electric vehicle.
