Express Mobility and SMEV have asked the government to provide a Rs 3,000 crore rehabilitation fund for electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers affected by the FAME II subsidy block.

The FAME II scheme was launched in 2019 with an outlay of Rs 10,000 crore to promote the adoption of electric vehicles in India.
