Under the plan, the government would provide incentives to the tune of Rs 120 bn over the next seven years till 2020 with an average subsidy of Rs 20 bn each year. The subsidies are aimed at building a thriving electric vehicle market in India. As per studies by 2020, the government expects a penetration of 1.5 m four wheelers and 4.5 m two wheelers based on electricity and will have a share of 17% of the total sales. As per the Ministry of Heavy Industries, success of the electric vehicles will result in fuel savings of Rs 400 bn. The government is contemplating to offer incentives to the vehicle owner on the cost differential with respect to the electric vehicle. The prime reason for the delay in the roll-out of incentives is the economic slowdown that has left the government cash strapped.
