Rajasthan Government plans to push electric mobility in the state, by offering subsidy worth Rs 200 crore. The initiative is aligned with the FAME-2 guidelines, aims to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) by offering State GST reimbursements and one-time grants to buyers of Evs equipped with modern battery technology. Rajasthan Government has decided to establish a Rs 200 crore e-vehicle promotion.

The subsidy applies to vehicles purchased on or after Sept 1, 2022 and registered in Rajasthan. However, eligibility is restricted to vehicles purchased within the state. According to Joint Transport Commissioner Jagdish Prasad Bairwa, vehicle manufacturers registered under FAME-2 must first enroll on the portal of state transport department. Post registration manufacturers must submit details of their EV models, including battery type as per FAME-2 guidelines. The transport department will then verify the submitted information before allowing buyers to apply for subsidies through the Vahan portal.

For claiming the subsidy, vehicle owners must enter the last five digits of their vehicle registration and chassis number on the portal. Authenticate it via OTP sent on their registered mobile number. Post that bank details along with supporting documents should be uploaded for approval. Once approved, the subsidy amount will be transferred to vehicle owner’s bank account.
