The government is pursuing legal action against electric two-wheeler manufacturers, seeking a refund of Rs 469 crore for non-compliance with the FAME II scheme. Seven companies are implicated, and only one has offered a refund

Govt mulls legal action against electric two-wheeler companies for FAME II violations

The government is pursuing legal action against electric two-wheeler manufacturers, seeking a refund of Rs 469 crore for non-compliance with the FAME II scheme. Seven companies are implicated, and only one has offered a refund

The government is exploring legal options against electric two-wheeler companies for not complying with the FAME II scheme norms, according to a senior government official.
The Centre has sought Rs 469 crore from seven electric two-wheeler makers for claiming incentives while not complying with the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles (FAME II) scheme norms.
The government is seeking a refund of incentives from Hero Electric, Okinawa Autotech, Ampere EV, Revolt Motors, Benling India, Amo Mobility, and Lohia Auto.
As per the official, notices have been sent to the companies, and so far, only Revolt Motors has offered to refund the amount.
"We have sent them notices. So far, only Revolt has offered to pay...others have not responded," the official said.
He noted that the deadline is almost over, and next week, the government will be making some decisions.
"We are examining legal options," he said when asked about action being considered by the government.
An investigation by the heavy industries ministry has revealed that these companies have availed fiscal incentives under the scheme by violating the norms.
As per the rules of the scheme, incentives were allowed to produce electric vehicles by using made-in-India components, but in the investigation, it was found that these seven firms allegedly used imported components.
The ministry conducted the investigation after receiving anonymous emails alleging that several EV makers were claiming subsidies without complying with the Phased Manufacturing Plan (PMP) rules to boost domestic manufacturing of these electric vehicles.
After that, the ministry delayed the distribution of subsidies last financial year.
The seven electric two-wheeler makers have urged the government to look at the possibility of asking customers to pay back excess rebates availed by them on the purchase of the vehicles.
The companies have suffered a cumulative loss of over Rs 9,000 crore on account of unpaid dues and loss of market after their subsidies were stopped last year, the Society of Manufacturers of Electric Vehicles (SMEV) has stated.
To promote electric and hybrid vehicles, a Rs 10,000 crore-programme under the FAME-II scheme was announced in 2019. &nbsp;It is the expanded version of the FAME scheme, launched on April 1, 2015, with a total outlay of Rs 895 crore.
In three-wheeler and four-wheeler segments, incentives are applicable mainly to vehicles used for public transport or registered commercial purposes. In the two-wheeler segment, the focus is on private vehicles.

Months after a spate of fires in two-wheelers put a bumpy ride in India's EV overdrive, the government has reportedly sent show cause notices to firms asking them to detail the reasons for the recent fire incidents with their two-wheeler electric vehicles. 
According to reports, the government has asked electric scooter OEMs, including Ola Electric, Okinawa Autotech, and Pure EV, to explain why they should not be penalised for the fire incidents. 
The companies have been given 30-days time till July-end to respond to the notice. 
EV fire incidents in recent times have triggered a safety debate in India. The most recent incident involves a Tata Nexon EV which caught fire in Mumbai. Meanwhile, Ola, Okinawa and Pure have voluntarily recalled nearly 7,000 e-two wheelers of the models that had caught fire.

Harley-Davidson's electric brand LiveWire has unveiled its second electric offering in the US and this is the S2 Del Mar LE. The all-new offering is the brand's most affordable yet. However, the LiveWire S2 Del Mar has a limited production run of just 100 units and all examples were pre-booked within 18 minutes after the reservation window went live. The new S2 Del Mar is based on the Arrow architecture that combines the battery pack, electronics systems, and motor into one single component, which also serves as the chassis for the motorcycle. The design language is distinctly Harley albeit in a futuristic way. Power comes from the 21,700-format cells, while the belt-drive motor produces about 79 bhp of power. LiveWire says 0-100 kmph comes up in 3.5 seconds with a range of 160 km on a single charge under city riding conditions. Owners get to choose from four riding modes and the bike will get over-the-air software updates. Deliveries for the S2 Del Mar will begin by mid-2023 in the US. Meanwhile, LiveWire is working on a more affordable S3 electric motorcycle that will come with a smaller motor and range.
