The Chhattisgarh EV Policy 2022 was cleared during a cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel. The focus of the policy is to make the state an EV-manufacturing hub, create employment, and reduce environment degradation.

“Chhattisgarh will become a manufacturing hub for electric vehicles and their accessories in the coming years. The policy will create unlimited employment opportunities for the youth. The decision will also benefit buyers and manufacturers of electric vehicles and people engaged in research and development work in the sector,” a release quoted Baghel as saying.

The operations of both commercial and non-commercial vehicles will be encouraged under the policy. “Under the policy, the government has set a target of five years and aims to have 15 per cent of new registrations of vehicles, either under individual use or commercial use as EVs till 2027,” the release said.

EV manufacturers will be given exemptions (manufacturing EVs, components of EVs, EV battery and charging infrastructure) under the policy. Establishing charging infrastructure will be mandatory in the housing policy of the state. The policy ensures training in skills in EVs and encourages manufacturing in EV technology. It also calls upon existing automobile manufacturers to diversify into EV manufacturing.
