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.
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,

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.
