The Uttar Pradesh government has made it easier for electric vehicle (EV) buyers to receive subsidies by launching the Uttar Pradesh Electric Vehicle Purchase Subsidy Portal. The portal will facilitate the application process for eligible vehicle owners, and only those who apply online will receive the subsidy. More than 50,000 vehicle owners are expected to benefit from this initiative.

To apply for the subsidy, EV buyers must visit the UP EV Subsidy Portal (upevsubsidy.in). The subsidy will be available for one vehicle per owner. Aggregators and fleet operators can receive a subsidy for a maximum of ten two-wheelers or four-wheelers and up to five e-buses or e-goods carriers.

Key Details of the EV Subsidy Program

Portal Launch: The online portal has been launched to streamline the subsidy process for EV owners.
Subsidy Criteria: Buyers must apply for the subsidy immediately after purchasing the vehicle. Necessary documents include the buyer’s photo, Aadhar card, and bank account details. The application can only be submitted through the dealer.

No Subsidy for E-Rickshaws

While most electric vehicles are eligible for the subsidy, e-rickshaws are excluded. This decision was made because e-rickshaws have already been sold in large numbers without the need for promotional support, causing transportation congestion.
