The PLI Scheme for Auto Industry is expected to be
announced tomorrow .
Would it incorporate
any of my suggestions in this respect, made more than 2 YEARS ago, vide my following e-mail ? :
FAME II > FAME III > FAME IV …………………….( 05 March 2019 ) ,
where I raised following issues:
What , if any , is the
shortcoming of just announced FAME II ?
# It
focuses solely on “ Incentivizing the Buyers “ through subsidies
# There are no “ Incentives “ for the vehicle manufacturers to ramp up
production or commercialize “ cost
matter of Lithium-ion batteries which constitute up to 40 % of EV ex- factory
price
# There are no “ dis-incentives “ for manufacture / sale / purchase of Petrol –
Diesel vehicles
# Linking the subsidy amounts with battery size is not the right method. In fact
a vehicle with a smaller size
range – charging time etc ) as a vehicle with a bigger battery, should be
rewarded with higher subsidy !
# Efficient use of input resources must be
encouraged
# There is no directive with regard to scrapping of old ( more than 10 years )
petrol /
diesel vehicles
Then I got following glimpse from this
news-report today :
Cabinet
gearing for a PLI scheme for auto sector / TheOutreach / 13
Sept 2021
That curiosity made
me construct following comparative tabulation :

“ Summary of Suggestions “ in :

ACTION
Watch this space ! |
|
|
|
|
|
[ A ]….. MANUFACTURERS
|
|
|
|
( A.1 )
Policy Instrument > Corporate Income Tax for Incentivizing
the manufacturers of Batteries
|
|
|
( A.2 )
Abolish Corporate Income Tax ( for 10 years ) for the
entire E Mobility Eco-System
|
The Union Cabinet is likely
to offer a PLI scheme for the auto sector this week, with a focus on promoting manufacture
and export of electric vehicles (EVs) and cars running on hydrogen-fuel
cells, as well as sophisticated auto parts requiring advanced
production technologies. The indicative list of
items that may qualify for the PLI scheme include battery/electric
vehicles and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. The scheme may also
incentivise EV parts like high-voltage connectors and cables, AC and DC charging
inlet and outlet ports, hydrogen fuel cell and its components and flex-fuel
kits. The scheme will also try to promote the manufacture of sophisticated
auto parts requiring advanced technologies such as electronic power
steering system, radars, sensors, torque converters, and systems for driver
monitoring, advanced emergency braking, blind spot detection and tyre
pressure monitoring.
|
|
( A.3 )
Incentivizing the E Vehicle manufacturers
|
|
|
|
Policy
Instrument >
Carbon Credits
Based on car specifications /
assumed average monthly usage etc , figure out and fix
" Carbon Credits " for
each model of electric car manufactured
Based on Carbon Credits earned ,
calculate Direct Transfer of Benefit ( DTB ) to electric car manufacturers based
on monthly dispatches of each model
Then transfer these amounts from
EVFF ( Electric Vehicle Finance Fund ) , as incentives to manufacturers
|
The government plans to
offer incentives on the basis of incremental sales value calculated
from the base year (likely to be 2019-20, as it was a non-Covid year). Additional incentives could be offered to
manufacturers of auto components for electric and hydrogen fuel cell
vehicles.
|
|
( A.4 )
Dis-incentivize manufacturers for production of Petrol /
Diesel vehicles
This could be achieved by gradually raising
the GST rate for such vehicles, starting from April 2022
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
( A.5 )
Incentivizing manufacturers to get into the“ Recycling of
Old Vehicles “
|
|
|
[ B ] BUYERS
|
|
|
( B.1 )
Incentivize for purchase of E Vehicles – especially,
leasing of buses
|
|
|
( B.2 )
Incentivize Retro-fitting of old Petrol / Diesel vehicles ( non-compliant with BS VI norms )
Give subsidies to “Current Owners of Old
Vehicles “ at 150 % of subsidies announced under FAME II
|
|
|
( B.3 )
Incentivize to switch-over to E Bikes ( for details, read
the blog )
|
|
|
( B.4 )
Policy Instrument > Taxing all Vehicles based on their
“ Harm Quotient “ for environment
Dis-incentivize purchase of Petrol / Diesel
vehicles

[ D ] PASSENGERS
OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT ( Non-Vehicle Owners ) For taxis / rickshaws running on
Hybrid fuel ( producing less Co2 ) or Electric Vehicles ( zero emission ) , both
, the driver and the the passenger will get " Carbon Credits " , which will also get displayed on the DigiMet as also on the FareCalc Mobile App on the smart
phone of the passenger ( @ 20 % of the fare payable ? ) These amounts will get transferred
to their respective Jan Dhan Bank Accounts ( thru DTB ) , every quarter
