EV players to meet Piyush Goyal today to discuss infra-related issues: PTI

Representatives from the electric vehicle sector will hold a meeting with Piyush Goyal, the Commerce and Industry Minister, on January 3, to talk about infrastructure issues related to battery swapping and charging, PTI reported citing sources. Officials from the Ministry of Heavy Industries are slated to attend the meeting, they noted. 

Spokespersons from Tata, Mahindra, Mercedes-Benz India and Hero MotoCorp among others have been invited to the discussions, the sources noted. 

In March last year, the government rolled out an electric policy wherein duty concessions would be given to companies establishing manufacturing units in the country with a minimum investment of USD 500 million. 

The firms establishing manufacturing facilities for electric vehicles are allowed to import a limited number of cars at a reduced customs duty. 

India will ensure sufficient charging infrastructure to support massive adoption of electric vehicles across the country, as per HD Kumaraswamy, the Union Minister for Heavy Industries. 

The government aims to install 10,763 public charging stations across the country under the FAME II Scheme. There is also the PM E-DRIVE Scheme to augment electric mobility via support for 14,028 e-Buses, 24,79,120 e-2wheelers, 2,05,392 e-3 wheelers (L5), and 1,1O, 596 e-rickshaws and e-Carts. Besides this, EV public charging stations and upgrading of testing agencies are also supported under this Scheme.
