Amendments to PM E-DRIVE Scheme

Department: Department of Heavy Industries

Authority: Ministry of Heavy Industries

2025-07-19

The Ministry of Heavy Industries has amended the PM Electric Drive Revolution in Innovative Vehicle Enhancement (PM E-DRIVE) scheme, effective immediately. Under the scheme, the Phased Manufacturing Program (PMP) standards for Electric Vehicle (EV) Public Charging Stations (EVPCS) have been revised. EVPCS must adhere with the applicable PMP at the time of supply of each lot. Technical standards per IS: 17017 and verification from MHI accredited agencies is compulsory. Import of EVPCS components in CKD form from a single supplier is prohibited. The definition of "manufacture" follows the CGST Act, 2017. These requirements of PMP are also applicable to EVPCS under the FAME-II scheme that have yet to be supplied.
