Automotive Product Finder Magazine | Government allows EV sale and registration without batteries

Government allows EV sale and registration without batteries

Yokohama doubles tyre production capacity at Bahadurgarh plant
Bridgestone India unveils new tyre V-STEEL Mix M721 for CVs

News  /   August

In a big development for electric vehicle (EV) industry, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has allowed registration of EVs without pre-fitted batteries. The ministry has clarified that vehicles without batteries can be sold and registered based on the type approval certificate issued by the test agency, in a letter issued to transport secretaries of all the states and UTs

Further, that there is no need to specify the make/type or any other details of the battery for the purpose of registration. However, the prototype of the electrical vehicle, and the battery (regular battery or the swappable battery) is required to be type approved by the test agencies specified under Rule 126 of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989.

Attention of the states/UTs has been drawn to the relevant FORMS under Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989. Viz. FORM-21 (sale certificate), FORM -22 (Road worthiness certificate issued by the manufacturer) and FORM-22-A (Road worthiness certificate issued for motor vehicles where fabrication of the body is done separately), required for the registration of Motor Vehicles under Rule 47 (Application for registration of Motor Vehicles), clearly specify Engine number/Motor number (In case of battery operated vehicles).

With a view to promote EVs in two- and three- wheeler segments, there are recommendations brought to the notice of the ministry to delink the cost of battery, accounting to 30-40 per cent of the total cost, from the EV cost. Vehicles could then also be sold in the market without the battery. This will make the upfront cost of the EV two- and three- wheelers to be lower than ICE counterparts. The battery could be provided separately by the OEM or the energy service provider.

The government is striving to create an ecosystem to accelerate the uptake of electric mobility in the country. It is time to come together to work jointly to achieve the broader national agenda to reduce vehicular pollution and oil import bill. This will not only protect the environment and reduce imports but also provide opportunities to sun rise industry.
