With the electric-mobility wave gaining speed in India, both the central and state governments are rolling out subsidies, tax incentives and regulatory support to boost EV charging infrastructure and adoption. For businesses and homeowners looking to install EV chargers, understanding these policies can significantly improve ROI, reduce costs, and optimise your setup.

Key Central Policies & Incentives
1. PM E‑DRIVE (PM Electric Drive Revolution in Innovative Vehicle Enhancement)

Launched around October 2024, this scheme succeeds earlier programmes like FAME II and is aligned through March 2026 for two- and three-wheelers, and longer for buses/trucks.

Supports both demand (vehicle purchase) and supply side (charging station setup).

3. Tax, Duty & Regulatory Support

GST on EVs and EV chargers has been reduced (e.g., chargers and infrastructure getting a lower GST slab).

“EV charging” has been declared a de-licensed activity to ease rollout of charging stations.

State-level Policies & Infrastructure Incentives

Each Indian state has its own EV policy layer — for charger setup, parking mandates, consumer subsidies, etc. Here are some notable ones:

In Delhi: Buyer subsidies like ~ ₹ 5,000 per kWh for e-2W (with caps) and waivers of registration/road tax for EVs.

In Gujarat: Subsidy of ~ ₹ 10,000 per kWh (max ~₹1.5 lakh) plus infrastructure incentives.

In Madhya Pradesh: Example state policy for charging stations: capital subsidy of ~30% of equipment value for first several hundred stations.

What This Means for EV Charger Installations

For CharzeUp and your customers (homeowners, corporate offices, flats, fleets), these policies translate into actionable benefits:

Lower installation cost: Infrastructure subsidies reduce upfront capex for setting up charging stations.

Faster ROI: With government support, payback periods shorten since you have lower entry cost and possibly priority access incentives or feeders.

Competitive advantage: For commercial/residential building clients, mentioning policy support becomes a value-proposition (e.g., “eligible for 30% subsidy on charger equipment in Madhya Pradesh”).

Better compliance and future-proofing: Many state policies mandate EV-charging readiness in new buildings or parking — offering your service as a “policy-compliant installation” becomes a strong selling point.

Strategic location advantage: Businesses installing public or semi-public charging infrastructure may access additional benefits (state subsidies + central schemes) for highway / public-access locations.

Summary (Key Takeaways)

The Indian government in 2025 is strongly supporting EV adoption — both vehicle-side and charging infrastructure.

Central schemes like PM E-DRIVE and extended FAME II cover subsidies for vehicles & chargers.

State-policies vary widely — best to check local policy specifics for your city/state.

For charger installations, subsidies for equipment (capital subsidy) + duty/tax benefits + mandated EV-readiness rules offer strong value.

For CharzeUp’s business: emphasise these policy advantages in your service pitch and proposal to clients.
