The Maharashtra government has taken significant steps towards promoting electric vehicle adoption and sustainability by introducing various initiatives under the Maharashtra Electric Vehicle Policy 2025. The establishment of battery recycling hubs in prominent cities like Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, and Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar showcases a commitment to address concerns around battery disposal and support the EV ecosystem. Additionally, plans to transform expressways into electric vehicle corridors and integrate hydrogen-powered transport demonstrate a futuristic approach towards reducing fossil fuel dependency. The policy emphasizes the development of EV charging infrastructure with stations strategically located every 25 km, catering to diverse EV models and receiving funding support through the viability gap funding scheme. Moreover, the allocation of Rs 15 crore for EV battery research and development signifies a dedication to innovation, focusing on technologies like sodium-ion batteries, green hydrogen production, and vehicle-to-grid systems. The policy also highlights the importance of skill development by introducing an EV-specific curriculum and retraining programs for traditional engine mechanics, aligning with the vision of creating a skilled workforce for the evolving automotive industry.
