Maharashtra EV Policy Targets 30% EVs by 2030 Maharashtra EV Policy

Maharashtra has set a clear path for electric vehicles (EVs) with its Electric Vehicle Policy 2025. The state has increased its budget from ₹930 crore to ₹1,995 crore over five years to drive EV uptake. It aims to reach 30% of new vehicle registrations as EVs by 2030.

The policy covers 13 vehicle categories with subsidies, waives tolls on key highways, and requires cities to fund charging networks. It also partners with oil companies to add chargers at fuel stations. These measures target range anxiety and infrastructure gaps to make EVs a practical choice for more users.

Policy Overview and Adoption Target

The government approved the Electric Vehicle Policy 2025 with ₹1,995 crore to boost EV registrations to 30% of new vehicles by 2030.
This outlay doubles the previous policy’s ₹930 crore budget, showing a firm commitment to green transport.

Financial Incentives Across 13 Vehicle Categories

Subsidies range from 10% for two- and three-wheelers to 15% for heavy vehicles such as trucks, private and municipal buses, and agricultural trailers.
Goods carriers, large passenger vehicles, and e-tractors receive a higher 15% subsidy to make commercial EVs more viable

Toll Exemptions on Major Expressways

EVs get full toll waivers on the Mumbai–Pune Expressway, Mumbai–Nagpur Samruddhi Mahamarg, and the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (Atal Setu).
Other state highways maintained by the Public Works Department also offer a 50% toll discount on EVs, reducing travel costs for users

Charging Infrastructure Mandates

Municipal corporations must allocate 1% of their annual budgets to set up public charging stations. The policy mandates public and semi-public chargers every 25 km on national and state highways to cut range anxiety. Public charging operators can apply for viability gap funding of up to ₹10 lakh per station to start new facilities.

Partnerships to Expand Charging Network

The state will sign memorandums of understanding with oil marketing companies to fit EV chargers at existing petrol pumps.
This move leverages OMC land and grid connections, speeding up charger roll-out in urban and rural areas

Implementation and Next Steps

The policy runs until March 2030 and covers EV manufacturing incentives, battery recycling grants, and skill-building programs. Approval by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis signals strong political backing, with further incentives possible as needed.

By combining financial support, infrastructure mandates, and strategic partnerships, Maharashtra aims to make EVs more affordable and practical. These steps will help build consumer confidence, reduce emissions, and position the state as a leader in India’s electric mobility transition.
