Odisha to Increase Electric Two-Wheeler Subsidy to ₹30,000 Under New Draft EV Policy

The Odisha government has decided to increase the subsidy for registering electric two-wheelers in the state from ₹20,000 to ₹30,000. This decision is aimed at promoting electric vehicles in the state. The Odisha government has included this provision in its new Draft EV Policy 2025, which will be implemented for five years after receiving feedback and suggestions from industry stakeholders.

According to the Draft EV Policy 2025, the Odisha government will provide incentives for registering electric two-wheelers in the state at a rate of ₹5,000 per kWh of battery capacity. The maximum limit for this subsidy will be ₹30,000, up from the previous maximum of ₹20,000. The Odisha government hopes that this increase will boost the demand for electric two-wheelers in the state.
