New Delhi: One in every five electric four-wheelers registered in the country is being used by government entities, according to road transport ministry data submitted in Parliament. 

 +
 +
Union road transport minister Nitin Gadkari informed Lok Sabha that government agencies are using 5,384 electric vehicles as of February 4.
 +
 +

Earlier, he had informed Rajya Sabha that a total of 26,335 electric four-wheelers were registered across the country with Karnataka leading the list with 7,212 such vehicles, followed by Ladakh (5,484). Delhi, which has a high concentration of government offices, has registered barely 3,051 4-wheeler EVs.
 +
 +
Meanwhile, vehicle registration data also shows that the number of eco-friendly vehicles — electric, CNG, petrol and diesel hybrid, ethanol and methanol — registered in 2021 trebled to 4. 8 lakh, compared to 2018. The surge was led by electric battery-operated vehicles or EVs. So far, nearly 9. 7 lakh EVs have been registered across India with UP leading the list among states with a little under 2. 8 lakh such vehicles, followed by Delhi with 1. 3 lakh.
 +
 +
While the government has beennudging people to go for electric vehicles instead of those powered by petrol and diesel, it is the electric three-wheelers, largely electric rickshaws, that have a 67% share. Two-wheelers account for 29% of the registered EVs.
 +
 +
The number of ethanol-fuelled vehicles has so far seen registration of 116 vehicles, while there are 2,326 registered vehicles running on methanol across the country.
 +
 +
“This trend will continue as people find EVs a better option due to huge savings in fuel. The number of vehicles running on ethanol and methanol will also see a quantum jump in the next few years as the government is putting more focus on alternative fuels,” said an official.
 +
 +
Different states such as Delhi and Jharkhand have come up with attractive incentives to promote EVs while others are also following such models. While the operation and maintenance cost are lower, the capital cost is higher.

Top 5 states with electric, battery-operated vehicles, As in 2019
From: Dipak Dash, July 15, 2019: The Times of India


Currently there are nearly four lakh registered electric or battery operated vehicles in India and half of them are in Uttar Pradesh and Delhi, according to road transport ministry’s data. Sources said most of these vehicles are e-rickshaws and e-carts, which got legal status after Parliament passed a law in March 2015 to recognise these as motor vehicles.

In a written reply, Union road transport minister Nitin Gadkari has informed the Lok Sabha that UP has 1.39 lakh registered electric vehicles followed by nearly 75,600 in Delhi. Karnataka has third highest number of registered e-vehicles and Maharashtra comes next. Interestingly, Assam also has a high number of evehicles (15,192) among all northeastern states and more than many states in north, south and western India.

Sources said the actual number of electric vehicles would be much more than the official figure. This is because thousands of e-rickshaws have been operating across country without registration. This is despite the transport ministry in August 2016 coming out with a notification exempting e-rickshaws and e-carts from obtaining commercial permits to carry passengers or goods. This was done considering that these are “affordable” mode of transport for last mile connectivity in cities and also in rural areas.

The transport ministry in October 2018 also came out with the notification granting exemption to battery operated commercial vehicles and those running on ethanol and methanol from the requirements of permits.

Gadkari has also proposed exemption of registration fee for EVs to promote the use of ecofriendly vehicles in the country and it has sought comments and objections from all stakeholders before taking a final decision.
