MH EV Policy
With an objective to accelerate adoption of BEVs in Maharashtra so that they can contribute to 10% of new vehicle registrations by 2025, Maharashtra government has issued the Maharashtra State EV Policy that provides demand-side incentives to bring a transition in the transportation ecosystem by creating demand for purchase and use of EVs in the state. Along with that, to stimulate manufacturing of EVs in the state GoM is providing supply side incentives to attract investments, facilitate establishment of manufacturing units, and encourage the production of EVs, EV components and electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE)

Why Electric Mobility?
Transport sector account for 18% of the total energy consumption in India and contributes an estimated 142 million tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. India made a commitment during the COP21 Summit held at Paris to reduce emission intensity by 33-35% by 2030 from 2005 level, which makes it important to introduce alternative means of transport coupled with economic growth, rising urbanization, travel demand and country’s energy security. Electric mobility with innovative pricing solutions, appropriate technology and support infrastructure presents a viable alternative. Electric mobility comes with zero or ultra-low tailpipe emission of local air pollution, lower noise and can provide a major boost to the economic and industrial competitiveness. In this regard, Government of India launched the National Electric Mobility Mission Plan 2020 in 2013 under which the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles in India Scheme (FAME) was launched. Since 2017, several states have notified state EV policies to complement FAME and address state-specific needs. Maharashtra was amongst the first states to design and notify the state EV policy in 2018, revised in 2021 that provides fiscal and nonfiscal incentives to accelerate the adoption and manufacturing of EVs in the state.
Building Bye Laws
With the vision of implementing electric mobility during the next 30 years, amendments were made to the Model Building Bye-Laws, 2016 by Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Government of India. 20% of all vehicle holding capacity at a premise shall be EV ready with charging infrastructure installed. The building premise should have additional power load, equivalent to the power required by all the charging points to be operated simultaneously, with a safety factor of 1.25.
