With reference to the 'PM Electric Drive Revolution in Innovative Vehicle Enhancement (PM E-DRIVE)' scheme approved by the Union Cabinet to promote electric mobility in India, consider the following statements:

1. The scheme is implemented under the aegis of the Union Ministry of Heavy Industries.
2. It provides direct financial demand incentives for purchasing personal electric passenger cars (e-4W) as well as commercial electric vehicles.
3. Demand incentives for electric two-wheelers and three-wheelers under the scheme are claimable through Aadhaar-authenticated e-vouchers generated at the time of purchase.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

  1. A
    1 only
  2. 1 and 3 onlyCevap
  3. C
    2 and 3 only
  4. D
    1, 2 and 3

Cevap

Statements 1 and 3 are correct, while statement 2 is incorrect.
The correct option identifies that statements 1 and 3 are valid, whereas statement 2 is invalid. The PM E-DRIVE scheme, administered by the Ministry of Heavy Industries, introduced Aadhaar-authenticated e-vouchers for e-2W and e-3W incentive claims. It intentionally omits personal electric four-wheeler cars from demand subsidies to concentrate financial resources on mass transit, commercial vehicles, and two/three-wheeler fleets.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze Statement 1 regarding the implementing ministry.
Statement 1 is CORRECT. The PM E-DRIVE scheme is spearheaded and implemented by the Union Ministry of Heavy Industries.
Establishing the correct nodal ministry is critical for governance initiative evaluation.
2
Evaluate Statement 2 regarding beneficiary vehicle coverage and eligibility.
Statement 2 is INCORRECT. The PM E-DRIVE scheme focuses demand incentives primarily on electric two-wheelers (e-2W), electric three-wheelers (e-3W), electric buses (e-buses), electric ambulances, and electric trucks. Personal passenger cars (e-4W) are excluded from direct purchase subsidies under this scheme.
Targeted welfare and incentive allocation criteria specify supported segments.
3
Evaluate Statement 3 regarding the incentive claim process.
Statement 3 is CORRECT. To ensure transparency and seamless subsidy disbursement, the scheme mandates Aadhaar-authenticated e-vouchers generated from the dedicated PM E-DRIVE portal at purchase.
Digital governance mechanisms streamline public incentive delivery.
