Industry is a State subject and the Central Government does not deal with development of heavy industries in any part of the country including the State of Rajasthan. Further, there is no state-wise allocation under any scheme of the Ministry of Heavy Industries.

The Ministry of Heavy Industries (MHI) has implemented several schemes at the national level to promote manufacturing of electric vehicles (EVs). The details are given below:

The PLI Auto and Auto Component scheme has been implemented on pan India basis and there are 8 manufacturing locations reported by the approved applicants in the state of Rajasthan.

The PLI ACC scheme, being a national programme, does not define or mandate particular locations for setting up cell manufacturing units. Beneficiary firms can choose their own preferred locations based on strategic business needs, infrastructure and resource availability, ensuring flexibility in establishing facilities across India. Currently, there are no manufacturing units located in Rajasthan under the PLI ACC scheme.

This information was given by the Minister of State for Heavy Industries, Shri Bhupathiraju Srinivasa Varma in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha.
