States seek inputs for revising clean vehicle policies; EVs may get cheaper
Mumbai: Electric vehicles (EV) may get cheaper in Gujarat, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh, as these states consider floating purchase incentives in line with the Centre’s flagship EV policy that gives direct subsidies to buyers, said people in the know. The three state governments have reached out to experts and manufacturers to seek views on how to implement such a policy. The proposed benefits would be on top of the subsidies given by the Centre. This development comes close on the heels of the Delhi Electric Vehicle Policy, 2020 that seeks to subsidise EVs through a feebate structure.
