Maharashtra EV Policy 2025 Approved: Check Subsidies For Electric Scooters And Cars

Aiming to accelerate the growth of electric vehicles in the state, the Maharashtra cabinet has rolled out the state’s new EV policy 2025, which presents a fresh set of benefits for EV owners. With the new policy, the Maharashtra government aims for 30 per cent EV penetration by the year 2030. The new policy will be valid for the next five years, from April 1, 2025, till March 31, 2030. Alongside offering subsidies and other benefits, the government also aims to expand its charging infrastructure in the coming years, which seems to be one of the main deterrents for people in the purchase of EVs.
