Jharkhand Electric Vehicle Policy

2022

Memo No. 06/U.Ni./Vividh(Electric Vehicle)-20/2021……..1089……..

1. INTRODUCTION

Historically, advancements in the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) technology have driven growth in the automobile sector, but lately, a host of factors including global warming, climate consciousness and improvements in battery storage capacity etc. have ushered in a shift towards electric Vehicles (EV). The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in its latest report1 has already warned that climate change is already 'irreversible' for centuries to millennia, ahead. Thus, to ensure sustainability, it is imperative that the future of transportation is electric with zero emissions and carbon footprint.


  1. Sixth Assessment Report (ipcc.ch) ↩

India is actively exploring cost-effective and viable solutions for sustainable development as well as reducing its excessive dependence on oil imports. The Indian EV market is still at a nascent stage,2 Jharkhand Gazette (Extraordinary), Friday, 7th October, 2022 comprising less than 1% of the total vehicle sales. However, the EV market has the potential to grow significantly in the coming years, as sales are expected to witness high double-digit growth rates annually till 2030. EVs have emerged as a promising and singular alternative that could help mitigate the adverse environmental impact caused by conventional vehicles.

To further drive the growth of EV sector in the country, the Government of India is increasingly pushing to develop appropriate monetary and fiscal responses to promote drive EV adoption in the country. A differential GST regime for EVs has been implemented by the Government of India as it is expected to help electric mobility gain momentum, under it, pure EVs have been kept in the 5% tax slab of the GST.

Jharkhand, in the pursuit of giving fillip to the shift from fossil fuel based medium of transportation to the electric medium with zero emissions and carbon footprint, trying to create a conducive eco-system by formulating attractive policy framework. The policy will try to capture the expectation of players from supply side as well as providing avenues for faster adoption of EV by demand side.

1.1. Government Initiatives in transitioning to Electric Vehicles:

In Feb'19, the Government of India (GoI) approved the 'Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles Phase II' (FAME-II) scheme with a financial outlay of Rs 10,000 crore to generate electric vehicle demand in the country. In June 2021, the GoI notified the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for 'the National Programme on Advanced Chemistry Cell (ACC) Battery Storage' (NPACC) for enhancing India's battery manufacturing capabilities by achieving a manufacturing capacity of 50 GWh. The NITI Aayog in April 2022 released the first draft of the 'Battery Swapping Policy' in an effort to catalyze the large-scale adoption of Electric Vehicles by promoting the adoption of Battery swapping technology implemented via 'Battery as a Service (BaaS)' business models.

2. EXISTING AUTOMOTIVEECOSYSTEM IN JHARKHAND:

Jharkhand is home to automobile industry with one of the India's leading automobile industry began manufacturing of commercial vehicle in early 1950s at Jamshedpur. More than 800 auto ancillary industries including auto components units have been set up subsequently at Jamshedpur and Adityapur to cater the needs of automobiles companies. Jamshedpur-Adityapur cluster is having unique advantages like availability of uninterrupted power and water from JUSCO in addition to other alternative sources of power from JBVNL, long history of industrial peace and ready access to Kolkata and Haldia ports for ease of imports and exports.

All types of auto grade steels are being produced at Jamshedpur since 1980s. All necessary infrastructures exist near Jamshedpur - Adityapur for auto ancillaries.
