Core Purpose

The Ministry of Heavy Industries amends the PM E-DRIVE Scheme by replacing the Phased Manufacturing Programme for EV Public Charging Stations with a revised, phased domestic-manufacturing schedule.

Detailed Summary

By notification S.O. 3318(E) dated 18th July, 2025, the Ministry of Heavy Industries partially modifies the PM Electric Drive Revolution in Innovative Vehicle Enhancement (PM E-DRIVE) Scheme, originally notified vide S.O. 4259(E) dated 29th September, 2024, with effect from the date of its publication in the Official Gazette. Annexure-6 of the Scheme, the Phased Manufacturing Programme (PMP) for EV Public Charging Stations (EVPCS), is replaced with a revised annexure specifying twelve component categories -- including charger enclosures/panels, internal wiring harness, IS/IEC 60309 connectors, OCPP and CMS software, auxiliary power supply/SMPS, AC and DC energy meters, RFID, HMI/display, input and output switchgears, AC and DC charging guns, charger controllers, and AC-to-DC power modules -- each assigned a phased domestic-manufacturing requirement effective on one of seven dates ranging from 1st December, 2021 to 1st December, 2025. Additional conditions require EVPCS to comply with the PMP as prevailing on the purchase-order date, to meet IS:17017 technical requirements as certified by MHI's testing agency, to bar import of EVPCS PMP components in CKD form from a single supplier, to apply the definition of "manufacture" under the CGST Act, 2017, and extend the PMP to EVPCS units under the FAME-II Scheme still to be supplied. The notification was signed by Dr. Hanif Qureshi, Additional Secretary, under file number 24(2)/PMED/2024-AEI(29903).
