The policy aims at attracting investment of more than Rs 30,000 crore and generate direct and indirect employment for over one million people, the state government said.
With a primary objective to contribute to India’s Net Zero emission target for 2070, the policy also aims to fulfil the state’s aspiration of becoming a trillion-dollar economy by leveraging its potential and opportunities in the EV industry.
Since Uttar Pradesh is one of India’s largest consumer markets, the policy also provides attractive subsidies to buyers. This includes 100 per cent road tax and registration fees exemption during the first three years of the effective period of the policy on all segments of electric vehicles purchased and registered in Uttar Pradesh.
