FAME II Scheme Basics

The FAME II (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles) scheme is India’s central EV incentive plan. Rolled out with a budget of ₹10,000 crore, it aims to accelerate EV adoption by subsidizing vehicles and supporting infrastructure. 

Here are some of the highlights of subsidies under FAME-II

Vehicle Type	Subsidy Rate	Max Cap
Electric Scooter	₹10,000–₹15,000 per kWh	₹30,000–₹45,000 approx.
Electric Car (Fleet)	20–40% of cost	₹1.5 lakh
Electric Auto	₹25,000	Per vehicle

To check if your vehicle qualifies, refer to the official website of the Department of Heavy Industries.

4-Wheeler Subsidy Under FAME II

• Applies to commercial electric cars, not personal vehicles (except in select states)
• Subsidy up to ₹1.5 lakh or 40% of vehicle cost
• Valid for registered fleet operators, ride-hailing, and delivery vehicles
  

Though FAME II kicked off on 1 April 2019 with a budget of ₹10,000 crore, the scheme was implemented only through 31 March 2024.

After that, the central government shifted incentives into new frameworks such as the PM E‑DRIVE scheme. Therefore when you refer to “FAME II subsidy details for 2025”, it’s important to highlight that many central incentives have changed — and what remains is state-level support or legacy approvals under FAME II.

It’s always easy for you to keep track of your subsidy status under FAME II. You can also use the FAME II subsidy calculator whenever it meets your needs,

Official Portal Steps

Punjab, MP, Telangana, Gujarat, Chhattisgarh, Bihar, WB, Uttarakhand – EV Subsidy Fame II

For the rest of the states, you can find some critical subsidies under FAME listed below.

• Punjab: ₹5,000 per kWh
• Madhya Pradesh (MP): ₹7,500 per scooter
• Telangana: 20% of e-scooter cost (max ₹10,000)
• Gujarat: ₹6,000 per kWh (up to ₹20,000)
• Chhattisgarh: No additional subsidy (FAME only)
• Bihar: ₹5,000 flat per scooter
• West Bengal: ₹5,000 per kWh
• Uttarakhand: Up to ₹5,000 under new draft policy
  

Once FAME II closed on 31 March 2024 (for new registrations), the government notified the PM E-DRIVE scheme in September 2024 with an outlay of ~₹10,900 crore for two years, aimed at supporting e-2Ws, e-3Ws, e-trucks, e-buses and charging infrastructure.

For buyers in 2025, you should check if your vehicle model is approved under PM E-DRIVE (or any existing scheme listed by the Ministry of Heavy Industries) and whether any subsidy is still passed to the dealer.

In many states, the state-level EV subsidy can be stacked with the central incentive (where applicable) but this depends on the specific implementation. For example, a buyer in Karnataka may get a state subsidy (if policy active) in addition to a central scheme benefit—therefore the total upfront discount increases.
It’s important to:

1. Verify the vehicle model is approved under the central scheme or successor (look at the MHI/official list).

2. Confirm your state notification for subsidies is alive and you fulfil registration & local residency criteria.

3. Ask the dealer whether the subsidy is passed at the point of sale (reduced ex-showroom price) or reimbursed later.
