UP Electric Vehicle Manufacturing Policy 2019

The Uttar Pradesh Electric Vehicle Manufacturing & Mobility Policy 2019 was issued by the Government of Uttar Pradesh on 13 August 2019. The policy aims to promote electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing, component ecosystem (batteries, chargers), charging infrastructure and early adoption of EVs in the state. The benefit for you as an MSME is access to fiscal and non-fiscal incentives if you set up EV manufacturing or associated ecosystem (battery, component, charger) in UP.

Key Features

Land Subsidy: If you, as an EV/EV-component unit, need land in UP to set up manufacturing, the policy covers up to 25% of the land cost (or prevailing circle rate, whichever is less), lowering your upfront cost.
Interest Subsidy on Capital Investment: If you borrow funds for setting up manufacturing equipment, the policy provides an interest cost subsidy of 5% per annum for five years (up to specified cap) which improves viability.
Infrastructure Interest Subsidy: Similarly, for infrastructure (roads, power supply, drainage etc) within your project, you get 5% interest subsidy for 5 years (cap up to Rs 1 crore) reducing cost of infrastructure financing.
Energy Exemption: For eligible large and anchor EV manufacturing units, the policy offers 100% exemption on electricity charges for 10 years - which is a major operational cost saving.
Patent & Certification Support: To encourage quality and innovation, MSME units get partial reimbursement of costs incurred on patent registration and quality certification.
Charging Infrastructure Subsidy: One of the ecosystem aspects: the policy supports deployment of charging stations by giving 25% subsidy (excluding land cost) up to Rs 6 lakh per station for the first 1,000 stations; this makes the charging network business more viable for you if you plan to set up charging stations.
Vehicle Registration & Road Tax Exemptions: Demand-side incentive: buyers of vehicles manufactured under UP get 100% exemption from registration fee (in specified initial units) which helps create a market, which in turn supports your manufacturing business.

Financial Assistance

Component	Assistance Provided	Detailed Explanation & Example
Land Subsidy	Up to 25% of actual cost or circle rate of land	Example: You acquire land in UP for EV manufacturing costing ₹ 10 crore; subsidy ≈ ₹ 2.5 crore.
Interest Subsidy on Capital Invest.	5% p.a. interest subsidy for 5 years up to ₹ 50 lakh p.a.	Example: You borrow ₹ 10 crore at interest 12%; policy covers 5% interest subsidy → you effectively pay 7% interest.
Infrastructure Interest Subsidy	5% p.a. for 5 years up to ₹ 1 crore	Example: Infrastructure cost borrow ₹ 2 crore; subsidy helps reduce your financing cost on the eligible amount.
Energy Exemption	100% exemption on electricity for 10 years (for large/anchor)	Example: Your unit consumes ₹ 2 crore/year in electricity; exempting this cost for 10 years saves ₹ 20 crore cost.
Subsidy for Charging Stations	Subsidy @ 25% on fixed capital investment (excl land) up to ₹ 6 lakh per station for first 1,000 stations	Example: Set up charging station costing ₹ 24 lakh (excl land); subsidy ≈ ₹ 6 lakh.
Patent & Certification Support	Reimbursement: 75% for patent cost; 50% for quality certification (for MSMEs)	Example: You incur ₹ 4 lakh in patent registration; reimbursement of ~₹ 3 lakh.
