prosperity this trend is going to continue. As the use of automobiles is increasing, this creates demand pressure for fuel,
because of that prices of fuel get also boost up which ultimately affects the environment. Over the past few years, fluctuate
price of fossil fuels, technology improvement in motor and battery technology, climate changes have accelerated the need for
electrification of transportation. Realizing the potential in Alternate Energy Transport, the Indian Government also launched
Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric vehicles (FAME) scheme to provide incentives for two wheelers
and four wheelers. This scheme is part of NEMMP and expected to provide support of Rs. 795 crore for the financial year of
2015-16 and 2016-17. This study attempts to find out the role of such incentives in the promotion of Electric vehicle. It was
found that, infusion of capital support and government subsidies can play a key role in acquiring the new customers and
establishing the market for electric vehicles in the Indian market. Various subsidies such as exemption from local and state
tax, waiving the road tax, exemption from toll taxes and parking charges, access to bus lanes can push the demand for such
vehicles.
