Ertiga, Ciaz SHVS subsidy withdrawn by government
The Government of India had launched the FAME scheme under the National Electric Mobility Mission Plan in April 2015. The Government provided subsidies to mild hybrid, strong hybrid, plug-in and pure electric vehicles under this scheme. This also included two high selling cars, Maruti Ertiga and Ciaz, which come with mild hybrid tech in the form of SHVS.
The Government of India had launched the FAME scheme under the National Electric Mobility Mission Plan in April 2015. The Government provided subsidies to mild hybrid, strong hybrid, plug-in and pure electric vehicles under this scheme. This also included two high selling cars, Maruti Ertiga and Ciaz, which come with mild hybrid tech in the form of SHVS.
Both the cars from Maruti got a subsidy of Rs 13,000 under the FAME scheme. However, a notification from the Ministry of Heavy Industries states that mild hybrid cars stand excluded from the FAME scheme with effect from April 1. Phase one of the scheme has been extended to 30th September and vehicles retailed by dealers till March 31 won’t be affected.
Maruti, however, is confident that the withdrawal of this subsidy won’t affect them much. The company will continue offering SHVS on its vehicles and will even move closer to hybridisation in the future. The Ertiga and Ciaz SHVS also have the highest ARAI-claimed fuel efficiency figures in their respective segments.
