E-Truck Revolution Rolls Out: Kumaraswamy Launches PM E-DRIVE Incentive Scheme

Union Minister for Heavy Industries and Steel, HD Kumaraswamy, formally launched the PM E-DRIVE scheme on July 11, 2025. This initiative aims to significantly boost the adoption of electric trucks across India.

The scheme offers substantial financial incentives to manufacturers and buyers of e-trucks. This is expected to make electric trucking a more economically viable option.

Details regarding the specific incentive amounts and eligibility criteria are yet to be officially released. However, industry sources suggest generous subsidies are on the table.

This move is a crucial step towards India’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable transportation. The success of PM E-DRIVE will be pivotal in shaping the future of India’s logistics sector and its environmental impact. The scheme’s effectiveness will be closely monitored for its impact on reducing vehicular pollution in major cities and highways across the nation.
