The Indian government has taken a bold step toward reducing carbon emissions and modernizing the country’s logistics sector by announcing fresh incentives for electric trucks (e-trucks) under the PM E-Drive scheme. This latest move brings relief to commercial fleet operators and environmental advocates alike—especially in Delhi, which will receive a special allocation of 1,100 e-trucks under the program.
But what does this mean for fleet owners, truck operators, and companies relying on diesel-guzzling commercial vehicles? And how can businesses prepare their engines for the electric transition while maximizing fuel efficiency and reducing emissions right now? Read on to find out.
🔋 New Incentives: ₹5,000/kWh Subsidy for Electric Trucks
Union Minister for Heavy Industries H.D. Kumaraswamy announced that under the PM E-Drive scheme, buyers of electric trucks will now be eligible for ₹5,000 per kWh of battery capacity, capped at a maximum of ₹9.6 lakh per truck. With most e-truck batteries ranging from 250–400 kWh, this incentive significantly brings down the cost of adoption.
The initiative aims to support 5,600 e-trucks with an overall budget of ₹500 crore. Notably, Delhi alone will receive 1,100 e-trucks, in a targeted effort to combat its persistent air pollution problem.
🚛 Electric Trucks: The Future of Commercial Mobility
The scheme targets N2 and N3 category trucks—weighing 3.5 to 55 tonnes—and aligns with India’s push for self-reliance under the Atmanirbhar Bharat vision. Leading manufacturers such as Tata Motors, Volvo Eicher, and Ashok Leyland are already onboard, making this a transformative moment for logistics, construction, ports, and steel industries.
Each truck must be backed by:
5-year or 5,00,000 km battery warranty
5-year or 2,50,000 km vehicle & motor warranty
A scrapping certificate from MoRTH (which is tradeable)
🏙️ Why Delhi’s 1,100 E-Trucks Matter
Delhi has long battled some of the worst air quality levels in the world, much of it contributed by diesel trucks. Replacing aging ICE (internal combustion engine) trucks with cleaner electric ones can drastically reduce PM2.5 and NOx levels in the NCR region.
Experts believe this could be a game-changer for urban air quality, with Nikhil Dhaka, VP at Primus Partners, noting the move could “decarbonize critical sectors such as logistics.”
