Maharashtra tops list of states buying EVs through FAME scheme
Maharashtra tops the list in sales of electric vehicles across all segments which have availed of the FAME II subsidy, followed by Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat and Rajasthan.
The top five states collectively account for over 56 per cent of the 0.85 million electric vehicles bought through the scheme, according to government data and span two wheelers, three wheelers, e-rickshaws, and four wheelers.
The trend of the top states is akin to registrations of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles though with one exception: Uttar Pradesh which accounts for 11 per cent all vehicle registrations based on data to March 31st 2019 (when it was predominantly petrol and diesel) and was ranked at number two, has lost its position in the top five in the electric sweepstakes.
