Policy overview
Rajasthan Electric Vehicle Policy 2022 was notified on 31 August 2022 and became effective on 1 September 2022 for five years. Unlike policies focused only on retail subsidies, Rajasthan combines demand incentives with tax relief, retrofit support, charging and swapping infrastructure, renewable-energy integration, manufacturing incentives and EV skilling.

Electric two-wheelers (E2W)
E2W is Rajasthan's largest volume incentive bucket, with separate support for fixed-battery and swappable-battery vehicles.
| Benefit | Detail |
|---|---|
| 100% SGST reimbursement | Applicable to eligible EVs |
| Fixed-battery upfront incentive | ₹5,000 - ₹10,000 |

| Motor Vehicle Tax | Exempt |
| Green Tax | Exempt |
- Transport and non-transport electric two-wheelers are covered.
- Vehicle must be purchased and registered in Rajasthan and meet the policy's advanced-battery eligibility conditions.
- For current claims, confirm that the OEM/model is enrolled and that category allocation remains available on the state claim system.
- Central PM E-DRIVE demand support, where eligible, is separate from Rajasthan's state-level benefit.
Electric three-wheelers (E3W)
Rajasthan splits the E3W incentive pool between e-rickshaw/e-cart vehicles and higher-utility e-auto/e-goods-carrier applications, with additional retrofit support.
| Benefit | Detail | Quota |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed-battery upfront incentive | ₹10,000 - ₹20,000 | 25,000 e-rickshaw/e-cart + 25,000 e-auto/e-goods carrier |
| Swappable-battery upfront incentive | ₹4,000 - ₹10,000 | |
| Retrofit kit | 15% of kit cost, up to ₹10,000 | 3,000 vehicles |
| SGST reimbursement | 100% | Subject to eligibility |
| Motor Vehicle + Green Tax | Exempt | Eligible EVs |
- The policy covers e-rickshaws, e-carts, e-autos and electric goods carriers.
- Passenger and goods EVs are also exempted from the permit requirement under the policy framework.
- Retrofit kits must comply with the competent approval framework under CMVR Rule 126 or be otherwise notified by the Rajasthan Transport Department.
Electric four-wheelers (E4W)
Rajasthan's four-wheeler benefit covers personal cars as well as taxis, commercial vehicles and light goods vehicles, but the purchase incentive has a ₹20 lakh ex-showroom price ceiling and tight category quotas.
| Upfront incentive | ₹30,000 - ₹50,000 |
| Maximum ex-showroom price | ₹20 lakh |
| Personal E4W quota | 1,000 |
| Commercial E4W quota | 1,000 |

- Retrofit quota: 2,000 vehicles
- Purchase incentive is linked to battery capacity within the ₹30,000-₹50,000 range
Electric light commercial vehicles (eLCV)
REVP 2022 does not create a standalone "eLCV" heading. Light Goods Vehicles sit inside the electric four-wheeler commercial category, while smaller electric goods carriers also appear within the E3W incentive bucket.
| Commercial category | Policy treatment |
|---|---|
| Four-wheel Light Goods Vehicle | ₹30,000 - ₹50,000 upfront incentive, subject to ₹20 lakh ex-showroom ceiling |
| e-Maxi cab / e-goods carrier | 2,000-vehicle quota within E4W framework |
| Three-wheel e-goods carrier | ₹10,000 - ₹20,000 fixed battery / ₹4,000 - ₹10,000 swappable |
| SGST reimbursement | 100% for eligible EVs |
| Motor Vehicle + Green Tax | Exempt |
| Permit requirement | Exempt under policy framework for eligible goods/passenger EVs |
Electric buses (eBus)
Rajasthan's policy treats buses as a direct incentive category and also sets a broader goal of progressively electrifying routes connecting its eight priority cities.
| Upfront incentive | ₹1,00,000 - ₹5,00,000 |
| Vehicle quota | 500 e-buses |
| Retrofit support | 15% of kit cost, up to ₹2,50,000 |
| Retrofit quota | 200 buses |
| Policy target | Phased transition on routes connecting priority cities |
2026 fleet build-out
- RSRTC finalised a long-pending tender for 300 electric buses in April 2026.
- Two suppliers were selected, with 246 buses allocated to one supplier and the balance to the other.
- The buses are intended partly for Delhi-NCR-linked routes and distribution across state depots.
- This public-procurement programme is separate from the retail/category incentive table under REVP 2022.
Charging & battery-swapping infrastructure
Rajasthan's charging framework combines state-policy incentives with a new PM E-DRIVE-backed rollout. This makes charging one of the most active parts of Rajasthan's EV market in 2026.
REVP 2022 support
| Fast-charging EVSE | SGST reimbursement, subject to notified amount / station limits |
| Upstream electricity infrastructure | 100% reimbursement |
| Maximum upstream support | ₹5 lakh per station |
| Applicable stations | First 100 public fast charging / swapping stations |
| State nodal agency named in policy | JVVNL |
2026 PM E-DRIVE rollout
- ₹81.12 crore of central financial assistance approved for Rajasthan.
- 591 charging stations planned across 262 locations.
- Jaipur: 112 locations
- Ajmer: 49 locations
- Udaipur: 39 locations
- Kota: 28 locations
- National/state highways: 34 locations
- Project proposed by Rajasthan Renewable Energy Corporation Ltd; tendering activity was reported in August 2026.
Operating framework under REVP 2022
- Setting up a charging station is treated as a de-licensed activity.
- Private charging at homes and offices is permitted through existing power connections.
- Public stations may be DISCOM-owned, privately owned or developed through PPP models.
- Public charging stations may procure power through open access subject to applicable regulations.
- Battery Charging Stations and Battery Swapping Stations are treated at par with Public Charging Stations for tariff purposes under the policy framework.
- The policy also links renewable-energy-based charging to concessional land and electricity-related benefits under the applicable renewable-energy framework.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. The policy was notified on 31 August 2022, became effective on 1 September 2022 and is valid for five years, through 31 August 2027, unless amended or superseded.
REVP 2022 explicitly lists exemption from Motor Vehicle Tax and Green Tax. The policy also exempts eligible electric passenger and goods vehicles from the permit requirement. Registration-fee treatment under central rules should be checked separately rather than being presented as a Rajasthan-specific cash subsidy.
The notified policy provides battery-capacity-linked upfront incentives of ₹5,000-₹10,000 for eligible fixed-battery E2Ws and ₹2,000-₹5,000 for swappable-battery E2Ws, with a policy allocation of 1,00,000 vehicles. Current payout depends on eligibility, model enrolment and available allocation.
Eligible E3Ws receive ₹10,000-₹20,000 for fixed-battery vehicles and ₹4,000-₹10,000 for swappable-battery vehicles. The policy allocates 25,000 vehicles to the e-rickshaw/e-cart category and 25,000 to e-auto/e-goods carriers. Retrofit support is 15% of kit cost up to ₹10,000 for 3,000 vehicles.
Yes. REVP 2022 provides an upfront incentive of ₹30,000-₹50,000 for eligible E4Ws depending on battery capacity, subject to a maximum ex-showroom price of ₹20 lakh. The policy allocates 1,000 personal E4Ws, 1,000 commercial E4Ws and 2,000 e-Maxi cabs/e-goods carriers.
Yes, but not under a separate eLCV heading. Light Goods Vehicles are included in the E4W commercial category, while smaller e-goods carriers can fall under the E3W category. The registered vehicle class determines the applicable benefit.
The policy provides an upfront incentive of ₹1 lakh-₹5 lakh for up to 500 eligible e-buses. It also supports bus retrofits at 15% of retrofit-kit cost, capped at ₹2.5 lakh per vehicle, for up to 200 retrofitted buses.
Announced in February 2025 under REVP 2022, the ₹200 crore fund supports SGST reimbursements and one-time grants for qualifying advanced-battery EVs purchased on or after 1 September 2022 and registered in Rajasthan. Manufacturers and models must pass the state verification process before buyers can claim.
The Centre approved ₹81.12 crore under PM E-DRIVE for 591 public EV charging stations at 262 locations in Rajasthan. The deployment covers Jaipur, Ajmer, Udaipur, Kota and national/state highway locations, with tendering activity reported in August 2026.
