FAME-II scheme restructuring entire EV industry, needs another extension, says Ather Energy SECTIONS Last Updated: Jan 31, 2021, 10:50 AM IST Share Synopsis The SMEV had argued that since its implementation from April 1, 2019, FAME-II has been able to achieve less than 10 per cent of its target of supporting 10 lakh electric two-wheelers, five lakh three-wheelers, 55,000 four-wheelers and 7,000 buses by 2022. Reuters NEW DELHI: FAME-II scheme, the programme meant to promote electric vehicles in India, has helped in attracting investments in the sector in the country and needs to be extended by another three to four years, according to a top official of Hero MotoCorp-backed Ather Energy. Presenting an opposite view to that of the Society of Manufacturers of Electric Vehicles (SMEV) which asked Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to either rejig FAME-II scheme or reintroduce FAME-I, Ather Energy Co-founder & CEO Tarun Mehta told that what the "SMEV has said does not look like a considered industry view".
