Parliament received information about government assistance for 1,884,905 electric vehicles through India's FAME programs by June 30. Minister Bhupathiraju Srinivasa Varma presented these figures to the Lok Sabha in written format. The FAME-II initiative provided support for 1,629,600 vehicles during its operational period. Officials allocated 912.50 crore rupees for establishing 9,332 electric vehicle charging points across the nation. Workers completed installation of 8,885 charging stations by the reporting deadline.
The earlier FAME-I program assisted 255,305 electric vehicles between 2015 and 2019. Authorities sanctioned approximately 520 charging facilities with 43 crore rupees during this initial phase. The subsequent FAME-II scheme operated from 2019 through 2024 with expanded objectives. Both programs extended their reach throughout India, covering tier 2 and tier 3 urban areas. These initiatives aimed to boost electric vehicle adoption while strengthening domestic manufacturing capabilities and supporting the nation's commitment to reduced emissions under international climate agreements.
