Goa stops offering EV subsidies from July 31, 2022

Incentives offered by the Central Government under the FAME II scheme will continue.

The state government of Goa has stopped offering subsidies on electric vehicles (EVs) from July 31, 2022. It is the first Indian state to do so.

The state had announced subsidies on EVs in December 2021. It was part of the Goa Electric Mobility Policy to promote the adoption of EVs. However, the subsidy was limited to a maximum of 3,000 electric 2-wheelers, 50 electric 3-wheelers and 300 electric cars.

According to a media report, applications from those who are eligible for the subsidy and have purchased the vehicle between December 16, 2021 and July 31, 2022, will continue to be accepted even after July 31.

Incentives offered by the Central Government under the FAME II scheme will continue.
