Highlights
- Electric two-wheeler subsidies under PM E-DRIVE are extended until July 31, 2026
- This is a four-month extension from the original March 31, 2026 deadline
- The scheme is fund-limited, so the portal could close early if the budget is exhausted first
Demand subsidies for electric two-wheelers under the PM E-Drive scheme have been extended until July 31, 2026, marking a four-month extension from the original March 31, 2026 deadline. The current buyer-facing incentive is ₹2,500 per kWh of battery capacity, capped at ₹5,000 per vehicle.
The extension gives buyers a clear near-term window to claim the subsidy, but the scheme remains fund-limited — if the allocated budget is exhausted before July 31, the portal will close early and no further claims will be entertained, regardless of the stated deadline.
Anyone considering an electric scooter purchase to take advantage of this incentive should factor in that the subsidy could end sooner than the official date if demand outpaces the remaining allocation.
