Subsidy on purchase of electric car
Let us also tell you that subsidy is provided by the government on the purchase of electric vehicles or cars. The reason for this is that the equipment and technology used to manufacture electric cars are not easily available in India. Therefore, the cost of their construction increases considerably. Subsidy is given to electric vehicle manufacturers by the government under the Production Linked Incentive Scheme (PLI Scheme). Apart from this, subsidy is also provided to provide relief to the purchasing customers.
