An Electrifying Union Budget 2025: A Defining Moment for India’s EV Revolution
February 1, 2025, was a day of high anticipation for the nation. From facing criticism over tax measures in the past, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has now emerged as a visionary leader with Budget 2025, delivering much-needed reforms. While the increase in income tax exemption up to ₹12 lakh and the emphasis on public sectors took center stage, the EV ecosystem received a game-changing boost—electric mobility funding has surged by over 20%, reaching ₹5,322 crore. This move strengthens India’s goal of 30% EV adoption by 2030 and self-reliance in EV technology by 2047, tackling transport emissions head-on.
For those of us in the EV industry—charging infrastructure providers, electric vehicle manufacturers, and battery firms—this journey began with a shared vision: making the Indian EV Dream 2030 a reality. There were moments when policy uncertainties tested our belief, but this Union Budget is a strong assurance that clean air, green energy, and a sustainable future are national priorities. It also reinforces India’s commitment to localization, reducing dependency on China, and building a self-sufficient EV industry.
Key EV-Focused Priorities in Budget 2025 & Their Impact:
Support for EV Manufacturing
Measure: Custom duty exemptions on 35 capital goods for EV battery manufacturing and incentives for domestic production of motors, controllers, and other critical components.
Impact: Lower production costs will encourage domestic EV manufacturers to scale operations, making EVs more affordable for consumers. This also strengthens India’s supply chain, reducing dependency on imports.
PM-e-Drive Initiative
Measure: A dedicated ₹4,000 crore allocation to accelerate electrification of two-wheelers and heavy-duty vehicles.
Impact: Increased EV adoption in personal and commercial transportation sectors. More e-scooters, e-bikes, and electric trucks will hit the roads, improving accessibility while reducing fuel dependency.
PM e-Bus Sewa Payment Security Mechanism
 Measure: Government support for procurement and operations of e-buses by public transport authorities.
 Impact: Expansion of electric public transport will reduce urban air pollution and lower transport costs for millions of commuters. Cities will see improved air quality and reduced reliance on fossil fuels.
Continued Support for PLI (Production Linked Incentive) Schemes
 Measure: Strengthening advanced chemistry cell (ACC) manufacturing to promote local battery production.
 Impact: India will become a competitive player in battery manufacturing, lowering EV costs while reducing import dependence on China. This also opens new job opportunities in the energy storage sector.
