PM E Drive

 The world is getting polluted. Carbon emissions are increasing. The health and safety of humanity is at risk. These are the developments that have awakened the countries of the world. They contribute to carbon emissions in the atmosphere. Even in the capital of the country, New Delhi, when winter comes, thick clouds of pollution are in the news every year. Dust particles combine with smog to make people suffer from respiratory problems and risk their lives. This is due to farmers in Punjab and Haryana burning threshing machines after threshing, industrial fumes and vehicle fumes.

The Center is introducing several schemes to reduce carbon emissions in the environment, especially in the case of vehicles. Schemes are being introduced one by one to gradually reduce the number of vehicles running on fossil fuels like petrol and diesel. The series of these schemes started with the first phase of Fame (SAME) in 2015, followed by Fame-2 and Fame-3 phases and has now reached PM E-Drive. These schemes have been designed to gradually reduce the number of petrol and diesel vehicles plying in the country and increase the number of electric vehicles on the roads.

The number of electric vehicles (EVs) in the country in 2016 was only 4,800. But their number is already 48 lakhs in China. Center different trajectory The number of EVs in the country has now reached 30 lakh as consumers are attracted to EVs due to the incentives announced over time. But there is much to do. As of 2015, there are only hundreds of EVs in the country. FAME-1 focuses on creating awareness about EVs among the people, dispelling misconceptions, subsidizing purchases, providing registration fees and tax breaks.

FAME (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles) Scheme

Started in 2015 and ended in 2019. Rs.795 crores have been allocated for this. About 28 lakh EVs have benefited through this scheme. Promotion of EVs, provision of buses, creation of infrastructure and increasing demand (Demand) are the main objectives of this scheme. In the early days, incentives were added to the use of hybrid vehicles that run on both electricity and petrol. As the production of EVs gradually increased, the hybrid trend slowed down. FAME is a part of the National Electric Mobility Mission Plan (NMMP).

After the first phase expired in 2019, Fame-2 started. It expires on March 31, 2024. Later the scheme was extended till July 31. Ten thousand crores have been earmarked for the second phase. More than eight lakh two-wheelers, 76,200 through this scheme Three-wheelers, 12,400 four-wheelers and 4,600 electric buses have benefited.

Drive Scheme (PM Electric Drive Revolution in Innovative Vehicle Enhancement Scheme)

With the completion of the Malidasha of the FAME scheme, the central government has shifted gears in the EV policy. With increasing public awareness and improved sales, the Department of Heavy Industries made further improvements to the scheme keeping in view the problems faced by the buyers and implemented e-Drive from September 11, 2024. Funds of Rs.10,900 crore have been allocated for the first two years. Rs.3,679 crore has been earmarked for two-wheelers, three-wheelers, ambulances, trucks and other EVs. This will benefit 28 lakh EV buyers. 24.79 lakh two-wheelers, 3.16 lakh three-wheelers and 14,208 buses will also hit the roads as EVs. Rs.500 crores for ambulances and Rs.500 crores for trucks

Crores, Rs.4,931 crores have been made available for buses. 3,434 crores have been allocated for public transport not only for its purchase but also for its maintenance.

Errors in fame have been corrected. In the past, subsidies were also given to EVs that were directly imported from abroad. These were removed due to criticism. The companies that got such concessions have to pay back the money. Non-paying automobile companies are kept away from this scheme. Funds will be given for the establishment of EV charging centers at 88,500 locations across the country. Production Based Incentives (PLB) will be provided to spare parts manufacturing industries. 10 percent of the two-wheeler market,15 percent of the three-wheeler market by March 2026 Union Minister H. D. Ku Maraswamy said that e-drive is working with the aim of reaching 15 percent of the vehicle market by March 2026. However, the non-applicability of this scheme to existing four-wheelers (cars) is being debated. It is said that the reason for this is the reduction of GST on the purchase of cars from 18 percent to 5 percent. For hybrid vehicles.

Subsidies were also removed. There have been allegations that certain automobile companies have benefited inappropriately in the FAME scheme. It is alleged that some companies received subsidies under the scheme meant for procurement of domestic products for imports from abroad. Amendments have been brought in the latest e-drive scheme.

Henceforth, the dealer will issue an e-voucher to the buyer upon purchase of an EV. It will be linked with Aadhaar number. The buyer can register this voucher on the PM e-Drive portal and receive the incentive in the form of money transfer to his account. Spare parts required for EVs should be manufactured locally. Another objective of this scheme is to take this idea forward step by step. Stock up on spare parts An incentive should be given when a kanga is composed and a vehicle is made. Consignees are allowed to import spare parts. But import of the entire vehicle is not possible now as it was in the past. Local manufacturers are registered in the Prime Minister's Portal (PMP).

Their incentives are no longer easily compromised. Officials say that from 2025-26, there will be a cash incentive of Rs.5,000 for two-wheelers and Rs.25,000 for three-wheelers. The new scheme will include an inspection every two years to keep a check on EV manufacturers. Public awareness about EVs To increase, make a habit of their usea Basically effort through fame scheme to do happened In 2015, there were at least five thousand EVs there are 30 lakh EVs circulating in the country today. 150 This number is negligible in India with a population of crores But significantly to reduce pollution in the country Effort has to be done. 30 lakh EV users If not satisfied then switch back to petrol fuel will show! Hence local manufacturing in e-drive,Setting up of electric charging stations, manufacturing of spare parts Priority was given to factors such as encouragement. Among the people These in public transport to increase awareness introducing Already even organizations like RTC Electric buses are plying on the roads. No noise without, these are without the word pollution Wandering on the roads. Just like petrol stations some RTC bus stands also have recharging points Arranged. States RTC under PM E-Bus service center forward for dispatch of electric buses to comes 38 thousand electricity in this sector by 2028-29 Buses will hit the roads. 3,345 crores for this Allotted Rs. 

Even now, cars run on petrol and diesel. But if fears and misconceptions are removed, these are the kingdoms of the future. Fears of exploding batteries and speed control are old words. In terms of research and development, EVs are steadily gaining public trust. Setting up of charging points is going to be a new way of employment for many people. He said that two hundred crores will not be spent for setting up charging points in e-drive. The days are not far when EVs will come with features and cheap prices. EVs should penetrate the market. Penetration percentage is called in English. This percentage is now only 6.5 percent in India. It means that if 100 vehicles are sold, EVs are only 6 and a half out of them. It is 27 percent in China, 55 percent in America and 48 percent in Europe. Penetration in South Korea is 10 percent.

Cars have a tank to store fuel. Fill it with petrol or diesel. In EVs, the fuel is stored in batteries. It requires the element lithium. Also electric motor is like engine in EV. Both these mainly affect the price of the vehicle. Research and development projects are ongoing worldwide to reduce the cost of EVs and make them safer. Experts say that they are also giving positive results. Even though the precautions of driving EVs are also fast becoming popular, the increasing prices of petrol and diesel are also attracting middle class people towards EVs. With the advent of solar power, even long-distance travel is going to become cheaper at a nominal cost in the near future. This leads to increased human migration and a lot of obstacles to progress. The government should also step in. The order of evolution should proceed without harming employment opportunities. At present, the electric vehicle sector should come forward gradually without damaging employment in the automobile sector. The future is electric vehicles. EVs are already circulating in large numbers in America and Europe. The rest of the countries will follow the same path. On the other hand, a pollution-free society promotes health and safety. If the R&D going on in EVs gives better results, it is humanistic

It will be a big step towards growth. Recently in Vijayawada floods, food was provided to the people through drones. Tomorrow we can reach there with the help of the same drones. Drones may be seen in the future. Driving cars may be our dream of driving Riga drones tomorrow. The days are ahead of the future generation when the convenience of flying in the air to the desired place and landing at the desired place will be invented. Change is the eternal truth. Eternal work.
