Abstract:

The study shows that use of non-fiscal incentives varies significantly among different states of India. Maharashtra and West Bengal have the most, four each, while states like Goa, Uttar Pradesh, and Uttarakhand do not have any non-fiscal incentives. Green zones and preferential parking for EVs are common non-fiscal consumer incentives proposed by some state governments, and commonly considered non-fiscal incentives to promote installation of charging infrastructure are land allocation for charging points and modification of building bylaws. State EV policies also provide a variety of incentives for installing private EV chargers and establish targets for installing public chargers in densely populated areas and at regular intervals on high-traffic roads.
