The Gujarat state government in India is offering substantial subsidies to encourage electric two-wheeler adoption, effectively lowering the cost of electric bikes for eligible residents. Qualified individuals, including college students and women, can receive up to Rs 25,000 (approximately $300 USD) off the purchase price of an e-bike. This, combined with existing central government subsidies, can bring the net cost down to as low as Rs 2,100 (around $25 USD) for some models. The initiative aims to promote sustainable transportation and reduce pollution within the state. Eligibility criteria include income limits and residency requirements. The program is part of a broader state policy to accelerate the transition to electric vehicles and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Applications are being accepted through a dedicated online portal.
