FAME India
Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid &) Electric Vehicles in India
(Ministry of Heavy Industries)
July 11, 2022
Introduction
In recent years, there has been a significant increase in pollution from vehicle emissions. To
reduce pollution caused by diesel and petrol-operated vehicles and to promote manufacturing
of electric and hybrid vehicles, the Central Government launched the Faster Adoption and
Manufacturing of (Hybrid &) Electric Vehicles in India (FAME India)1 Scheme in 2015.
Background
The National Electric Mobility Mission

Plan (NEMMP) 20202 was launched in
2013 to achieve national fuel security
by promoting hybrid and electric
vehicles in the country. As part of the
NEMMP 2020, the Ministry of Heavy
Industries launched FAME India
Scheme in 2015 to promote adoption of
electric/hybrid vehicles (xEVs) in
India.
FAME India Scheme operates in two

phases. These are,
• Phase I: The first phase of

Fame India Scheme started in
2015 and was functional till 31st March 2019 with a budget outlay of Rs 895 Crore.
• Phase II: The second phase of this scheme started in April 2019 and will continue till
31st March 2024.

FAME India – Phase I3
FAME India Phase I had four focus

areas - technological development,
demand generation, pilot project and
charging infrastructure components.
The phase was available up to March 31,
2019 with budget outlay of Rs 895 Cr.
Achievements under FAME India –

Phase 1
• About 2.8 lakh xEVs supported with total demand incentives of approximately Rs. 360
Crore.
• 425 electric and hybrid buses were deployed across various cities in the country with
a Government incentive of about Rs. 280 crores.
• 520 Charging Stations/ Infrastructure for Rs. 43 crores (approx.) were sanctioned.
The details of funds earmarked4 and utilized under Phase-I of FAME India Scheme is tabulated

FAME India – Phase 25
Based on the experience gained during Phase I of

FAME Scheme and suggestions of various
stakeholders including industry associations, Phase
II was approved with an outlay of Rs. 10,000 crores6
for a period of five years commencing from April 01,
2019.
FAME –II Redesigned7
FAME India II Scheme was redesigned in June

2021 based on experience particularly during Covid-
19 pandemic and feedback from industry and users.
The redesigned scheme aims at faster proliferation of
Electric Vehicles by lowering the upfront costs.
Following amendments have been made in the scheme:
• FAME II has been extended for a further period of 2 years i.e. up to March 31, 2024
• For Electric 2 Wheelers, demand incentive has been increased from Rs. 10,000/KWh
to Rs 15,000/KWh with maximum cap increased from 20% to 40% of the cost of
vehicles.
• For Electric 3 Wheelers, aggregation will be the key method to bring the upfront cost
at an affordable level and at par with ICE-3 Wheelers. Energy Efficiency Services
Limited (EESL) will aggregate demand for 3 lakh Electric 3 Wheelers for multiple user
segments.
• For Electric Buses, 9 cities with over 4 million population (Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore,
Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Surat and Pune) will be targeted. EESL
will aggregate the demand in these 9 cities for the remaining Electric Buses under the
scheme on OPEX basis.
After remodelling of FAME II in June 2021 sale of electric two wheelers have increased to
over 5000 per week from 700 per week before remodelling.

Achievements of FAME India – Phase II8 (till February 2022)
Under this phase, major emphasis is placed on electrification of public transportation that
includes shared transport.
• 4,69,315 Electric Vehicles have been supported by way of Demand Incentive

amounting to about Rs. 1869 crores (as on July 11, 2022).
• 6315 e-buses sanctioned to 65 cities/STUs/CTUs/ State Govt. entities for intracity and
intercity operations across 26 states/UT under the Scheme.
• 2877 charging stations sanctioned in 68 cities across 25 states/UTs
• 50 Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs)9, both start-up and established

manufacturers, have registered and revalidated their 106 electric vehicle models
• Sale of electric two wheelers vehicles has increased manifold
With greater emphasis on providing affordable and environment-friendly public transportation

options for the masses, FAME India Phase II will be applicable mainly to vehicles used for
public transport10 or those registered for commercial purposes in e-3W, e-4W and e-bus
segments. However, privately owned registered e-2Ws are also covered under the scheme as a
mass segment.
