Speaking at the event, Union Minister Shri H.D. Kumaraswamy said: "The exemplary vision of our Prime Minister, who has given us both direction and a goal—to achieve net zero emissions by 2070. This initiative has been key in advancing our nation towards a greener, more technologically advanced, and economically prosperous future. The FAME scheme stands as clear evidence of the government’s unwavering commitment to reducing carbon emissions and advancing sustainable transportation."

He added: "Looking ahead, we must remain committed to innovation, investment, and inspiration. With our collective resolve and the strong foundation laid by the FAME scheme, I am confident we will lead the global electric mobility transformation."

“Additionally, the newly approved PM Electric Drive Revolution in Innovative Vehicle Enhancement (PM E-DRIVE) Scheme, this scheme is set to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles through substantial upfront incentives and the development of crucial charging infrastructure. Our goal is to reduce the environmental footprint, improve air quality, and build a competitive and resilient EV manufacturing industry.”

Secretary, Ministry of Heavy Industries, Shri Kamran Rizvi, commended the industry leaders for their dedicated efforts in making the FAME II scheme a success. He emphasised that FAME II has not only challenged us to take on complex tasks but has also enabled significant progress in achieving domestic value addition in the EV sector.

Shri Rizvi highlighted that change is the only constant, and we must now direct our focus towards addressing climate change and achieving the Prime Minister's vision of net zero emissions by 2070.
