UP Electric Vehicle Manufacturing Policy 2022

The Uttar Pradesh Electric Vehicle Manufacturing and Mobility Policy 2022 is a five-year framework (effective from 14 October 2022 to 13 October 2027) designed to transform the state into a global EV manufacturing hub.
As of October 2025, the policy underwent a significant revision: incentives are now strictly restricted to "Made in UP" vehicles to further boost local production.

The policy is built on three pillars: Faster EV Adoption, Charging Infrastructure, and EV/Battery Manufacturing.
Global Hub: Attract large-scale investments to make UP a leading global destination for EV and battery manufacturing.
Environmental Impact: Facilitate a transition to eco-friendly transportation, aiming for 100% EV transition in government departments by 2030.
Employment: Generate significant direct and indirect employment (targeted at 1 lakh people) across the EV value chain.
Innovation: Support research and development (R&D) in battery technology, fuel cells, and non-fossil fuel mobility.
Infrastructure: Ensure widespread availability of charging and swapping stations (target of 20 charging and 5 swapping stations per district).

The policy provides massive fiscal support based on the scale of the project:
Integrated EV Projects: Capital subsidy of 30% (up to ₹1,000 crore) for the first two projects investing ₹3,000 crore or more.
Ultra-Mega Battery Projects: Capital subsidy of 30% (up to ₹1,000 crore) for the first two projects with ₹1,500 crore+ investment and minimum 1 GWh capacity.
MSME & Large Units: Capital subsidies ranging from 10% to 18%.
Additional Benefits:
100% Stamp Duty Reimbursement for integrated and ultra-mega projects.
Land Subsidy and infrastructure support for units in dedicated EV parks.
Skill Development: Stipend reimbursement of ₹5,000 per month per employee for the first 50 employees.

The state aims for at least 20 charging stations and 5 swapping stations per district.
Subsidies: 20% capital subsidy (up to ₹10 lakh) for the first 2,000 charging stations.
New Amendment (2025): The subsidy now includes upstream infrastructure costs (transformers, cables, etc.), making it easier for operators to meet the ₹25 lakh investment threshold.
Land Lease: Government land is available for charging stations on a 10-year lease with a revenue-sharing model of ₹1/kWh.

Project Report: Detailed project report (DPR) highlighting investment in plant and machinery.
Capacity Validation: Technical documentation proving production capacity (e.g., minimum 1 GWh for ultra-mega battery projects).
Investment Proof: Invoices and CA certificates for fixed capital investments (FCI).
Compliance Certificates: Quality certifications and patent registration documents if claiming related reimbursements.
