Q1How many of the following PM E-DRIVE pairs are correctly matched? 1. Vehicle-category subsidies—₹3,679 crore; 2. Deployment of 14,028 electric buses—₹4,391 crore; 3. Charging infrastructure—₹2,000 crore; 4. Demand incentive in FY2025-26—₹2,500 per kWh.
All four pairs are correct. The scheme provides ₹3,679 crore for subsidies across specified vehicle categories, ₹4,391 crore for 14,028 electric buses and ₹2,000 crore for charging infrastructure. It also sets the FY2025-26 demand incentive at ₹2,500 per kWh, reduced from ₹5,000 per kWh in FY2024-25.
Q2Consider the following statements about PM E-DRIVE: 1. It was originally notified on 29 September 2024 for a two-year period. 2. Its tenure was later extended to four years, up to 31 March 2028, without changing the ₹10,900 crore outlay. Which option is correct?
Both statements reproduce the official chronology. PM E-DRIVE was notified on 29 September 2024 with ₹10,900 crore for an initial two-year period. On 8 August 2025, its duration was extended from two years to four years, with implementation up to 31 March 2028 and no increase in the sanctioned outlay.
Q3What is the sanctioned total outlay of the PM E-DRIVE Scheme?
The sanctioned outlay of PM E-DRIVE is ₹10,900 crore. The figures ₹3,679 crore, ₹4,391 crore and ₹2,000 crore relate respectively to vehicle subsidies, electric-bus deployment and charging infrastructure. They are component allocations and must not be confused with the scheme-wide total.
Q4Which ministry administers the PM E-DRIVE Scheme, whose objective includes accelerating electric-vehicle adoption and developing the domestic electric-vehicle ecosystem?
The PM E-DRIVE Scheme is administered by the Ministry of Heavy Industries. Its stated purpose is to speed up electric-vehicle adoption, strengthen charging infrastructure and develop the domestic electric-vehicle manufacturing ecosystem; therefore option A identifies both the correct institutional home and policy context.
Q5Match the charging-infrastructure category with the number of fast chargers planned under PM E-DRIVE: 1. Electric four-wheelers; 2. Electric buses; 3. Electric two- and three-wheelers. Choose the correct sequence for 1, 2 and 3.
The ₹2,000 crore charging-infrastructure component provides for 22,100 fast chargers for electric four-wheelers, 1,800 for electric buses and 48,400 for electric two- and three-wheelers. Reading the categories in the order printed in the stem yields 22,100; 1,800; 48,400, which is option C.
