At least 15% of new vehicle registrations by 2030 to be electric across personal, shared, freight, and public transport segments.
Himachal Pradesh to be positioned as a national and global role model for EV adoption in hilly and eco-sensitive regions.
A reliable, interoperable, and seamless charging network to be developed across cities, highways, depots, and tourist hubs.
Subsidies, tax exemptions, and incentives to be provided for EV buyers, fleet operators, and charging providers.
Shimla, Hamirpur, Mandi, Baddi, and Dharamshala to be developed as model EV cities with integrated infrastructure, regulatory frameworks, and high adoption levels.
Support to be provided to startups and enterprises in EVs, batteries, and charging innovation.
Green jobs to be generated across manufacturing, charging, services, and R&D.
EVs to be integrated into last-mile connectivity, Green corridors, and tourism transport fleets to position Himachal as a clean-mobility destination.
EV rollout to be aligned with renewable energy expansion, storage, and grid modernisation.
Developing state roadmap to support electric vehicle adoption
Strengthening charging infrastructure for electric vehicles
Promoting E-Tourism through Green Corridors and EV adoption in 5 model cities
The EV dashboard is envisaged to serve as a digital platform to visualise real-time information about the status of charging infrastructure and associated initiatives and schemes that are being undertaken by the state to accelerate EV adoption. This will support the citizens, government, planners and industry in making informed decisions in the state.
Accelerating deployment of electric buses
Electrifying urban freight transport
Promoting skilling and capacity building for electric vehicle technology
The primary objective of the policy is to accelerate the adoption of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) in the State so that they contribute to 15% of new vehicle registrations by 2025.
The Department of Transport, Government of Himachal Pradesh, as the nodal agency for electric mobility, is leading efforts to accelerate the state’s transition towards clean and sustainable transport. To reduce emissions and protect the fragile hill ecosystem, the department is implementing key initiatives such as government fleet electrification through E-taxis, formation of EV Mission Cell, expanding public charging infrastructure along green corridors, integration of EVs in municipal operations, EV up-skilling programs, EV sensitization workshops and promoting renewable-powered charging solutions.
These initiatives are being implemented through collaborations with Charge Point Operators (CPO), Hotelier’s associations, IIM Sirmaur, IIT Mandi, SJVN, and Government ITI’s, alongside industry and development partners. Through these coordinated measures, the department aims to establish a robust and inclusive EV ecosystem, positioning Himachal Pradesh as a model state for sustainable and climate-responsive mobility.
