Over 88,000 EVs Subsidised in Madhya Pradesh Under PM E-DRIVE
The government of India has a program called PM E-DRIVE that gives money to help people buy electric vehicles, which are cars and two-wheelers that run on electricity.
During financial year 2025-26, the program helped pay for more than 88,000 electric vehicles in the state of Madhya Pradesh.
About 94,000 electric vehicles were put into use in that state during the same year.
Madhya Pradesh did not receive any electric buses through the program that year.
The figures were announced by the Ministry of Heavy Industries.
Before PM E-DRIVE, there was a similar program called FAME India Phase-II that ran from 2019 to 2024.
That earlier program supported about 16.72 lakh electric vehicles across India.
The government has also made electric vehicles and charging stations cheaper by lowering the tax on them.
All of this is part of the government's push for clean-energy travel in India.
According to the Ministry of Heavy Industries, 88,209 electric vehicles were subsidised in Madhya Pradesh in financial year 2025-26 under the PM Electric Drive Revolution in Innovative Vehicle Enhancement (PM E-DRIVE) scheme.
During the same period, 94,277 electric vehicles were deployed across the state, but Madhya Pradesh received no electric buses under the scheme.
PM E-DRIVE, notified on September 29, 2024, has a total budget of Rs 10,900 crore and aims to subsidise around 28.30 lakh EVs across segments.
The predecessor FAME India Phase-II scheme (April 1, 2019 to March 31, 2024) supported around 16.72 lakh EVs nationwide and sanctioned 6,862 electric buses.
Related government measures include Production Linked Incentive schemes, a 5 per cent GST on EVs and chargers, green licence plates, and permit exemptions.
