Maharashtra Rolls Out EV Policy to Boost Adoption by 2030

Maharashtra has introduced a new Electric Vehicle (EV) policy to accelerate adoption and develop charging infrastructure across the state. The policy targets 30 per cent EV use by 2030 across two- and three-wheelers, passenger cars, commercial vehicles and public buses.

To encourage uptake, the state will offer subsidies of up to Rs two million for electric buses, Rs 200,000 for four-wheelers in transport use, and Rs 150,000 for electric tractors and harvesters. EV buyers will also benefit from exemptions on motor vehicle tax and registration renewal fees.

The policy grants toll exemptions for EVs on key expressways like Mumbai–Pune and Mumbai–Nashik for five years, with plans to extend this to other state highways.

Infrastructure development is a key focus. Charging stations must be installed every 25 km on state and national highways. New fuel stations will be required to include EV chargers, and each Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation depot will have at least one fast-charging point.

New residential and commercial buildings must provide EV charging setups, with commercial spaces reserving parking for chargers. Public chargers will receive viability gap funding.

The policy supports Maharashtra’s Clean Mobility Transition Model, aiming to cut emissions and promote sustainable growth.
