Introduction: Maharashtra Electric Vehicle Policy 2025
The Maharashtra Electric Vehicle Policy 2025–2030 positions the state as India’s leading EV manufacturing and adoption hub. More importantly, it introduces clearly clearly defined financial incentives, ranging from purchase subsidies and tax exemptions to Viability Gap Funding (VGF) for charging infrastructure and D+ category benefits for EV manufacturing and battery ecosystems.
For investors, OEMs, charging infrastructure developers, fleet operators, and MSMEs, the policy creates stable cash-flow advantages and balanced returns. However, incentive planning, eligibility check, and correct financial mapping remain critical. This is where expert subsidy support becomes decisive.

EV buyers receive 10–15% subsidy on ex-factory cost, with incentives ranging from ₹10,000 to ₹20 lakh per vehicle, directly lowering initial investment.
2. Zero Statutory Costs:
100% exemption on motor vehicle tax and registration fees reduces lifetime ownership and operating expenses.
3. Charging Infrastructure Support:
Viability Gap Funding (VGF) up to 15% of charger equipment cost, capped at ₹5 lakh (DC fast) and ₹10 lakh (high-power DC) per station, improving project feasibility.
4. Manufacturing Cost Advantage:
EV, battery, and component manufacturers qualify for D+ category industrial incentives, including stamp duty and electricity duty exemptions, significantly reducing CAPEX and OPEX.
5. Fleet & Commercial ROI Boost:
Higher subsidies for transport vehicles and buses (up to ₹20 lakh per unit) accelerate fleet electrification with faster payback periods.
6. MSME-Friendly Structure:
