The scheme allows import of up to 8,000 electric four-wheelers per year at a reduced 15% customs duty for 5 years, provided each vehicle has a minimum CIF value of $35,000; the total duty foregone is capped at ₹6,484 crore or the actual investment, whichever is lower.
Eligibility is limited to global or Indian companies with minimum ₹10,000 crore in automotive manufacturing revenue and ₹3,000 crore in fixed assets, based on latest audited financials; a bank guarantee equal to the higher of ₹4,150 crore or the duty foregone must be provided.
Investment in land is excluded, but costs on charging infrastructure will be allowed up to 5% of the committed investment; only specific expenditures like new plant/machinery, R&D, and essential buildings will count towards the investment threshold.
The Ministry of Heavy Industries expects this initiative to support Make in India and Aatmanirbhar Bharat, generate skilled employment, strengthen the clean-tech ecosystem, and make India a preferred destination for EV innovation and global manufacturing.
