Uttar Pradesh Electric Vehicle Manufacturing and Mobility Policy 2022
The "Uttar Pradesh Electric Vehicle Manufacturing and
Mobility (EVMM) Policy 2022" has been introduced by the government of
Uttar Pradesh. 2019 saw the initial launch of the EVMM policy. To counter this,
the Uttar Pradesh government decided to introduce a new electric vehicle
manufacturing and mobility policy in 2022.
The policy shall be in effect for a period of five years
following the date of notification, subject to any modifications made from time
to time by the State Government. Electric vehicles (EVs), EV components,
batteries, and charging/battery equipment are all covered by the policy. The
"Nodal Department" for this Policy shall be the Government of Uttar
Pradesh's infrastructure and industrial development department.
Objectives of Uttar Pradesh EV Policy 2022
·
To
make it possible to switch to an eco-friendly transportation system, especially
in urban areas. By 2030, the State Government aims to convert all government
vehicles (used for business purposes) to electric vehicles. Through
"Vehicle Advances" offered to them, the State Government shall
encourage the State Government Employees to purchase EVs.
·
To
entice manufacturers from the entire EV ecosystem to the state so they can
establish production facilities and supply a global market.
·
To
establish UP as a manufacturing and development center for electric vehicles.
·
To
make investments possible in the creation of infrastructure for charging and
battery switching.
·
To
advance studies and innovations in EV electronics, battery technology, fuel
cell technology, and non-ICE-based vehicles.
The State Government of Uttar Pradesh will concentrate on
three pillars for promoting the EV industry in the State, namely.
1.
Creation
of charging infrastructure
2.
Faster
EV adoption
3.
Manufacturing
Affordability, convenience, technology, and awareness are the
four success factors that will be used to determine the intervention areas for
each pillar.
Charging Infrastructure-Related Incentives
The Special Tariff category for EV Charging has already been
announced by the Uttar Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (UPERC). In
order to periodically rationalize the tariff rate for EV charging in the State,
the State Government must regularly coordinate with UPERC. At charging/swapping
stations or swapping kiosks with contract cumulative demand of 1MW & above,
State Government shall permit "Open Access."
During the policy period, the policy will work to attract
investments for the construction of at least 20 charging stations and 5
swapping stations per district. In order to achieve this, in addition to
offering land at discounted rates, the following incentives must be offered:
Capital Subsidy to Service Providers:
·
The
first 2000 charging stations in the state will receive a one-time capital
subsidy at the rate of 20% on eligible fixed capital investments for service
providers, up to a maximum of INR 10 lakh per unit.
·
The
first 1,000 Swapping Stations will receive a one-time capital subsidy on
eligible fixed capital investments at a rate of 20%, up to a maximum of INR 5
lakh per unit.
