Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu have become central to India's electric vehicle revolution thanks to the Union government's Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme. The scheme, focusing on zero-emission vehicles like battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, covers a five-year period from FY 2022-23 to FY 2026-27. With 257 manufacturing units approved across 17 states under the PLI-Auto scheme, Maharashtra leads with 77 facilities, followed by Tamil Nadu with 46. Other states like Haryana, Karnataka, and Gujarat also have a significant presence in EV manufacturing. Additionally, schemes like the SPMEPCI aim to boost electric passenger car production by offering reduced customs duties to applicants setting up local manufacturing plants. Although the PLI-Auto scheme with a ₹25,938 crore budget hasn't yet disbursed funds, it highlights the government's commitment to promoting EV manufacturing. The evolving landscape shows an increasing production of EVs, particularly two-wheelers surpassing three-wheelers. Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu's dominance in this sector showcases their capacity to attract investments and foster innovative ecosystems, positioning them at the forefront of India's EV transformation.
