JGSSM College has launched a dedicated student EV subsidy guide workshop this July 2025 to educate students about the latest government support schemes available for purchasing electric scooters and bikes. The session has been designed to assist students in understanding application procedures, eligibility criteria, and documentation for availing EV subsidy benefits in their state.
With the surge in demand for electric two-wheelers among youth, especially in college campuses, the government has rolled out various schemes under the electric bike scheme. This workshop ensures students are not only aware of these benefits but are also guided step-by-step on how to apply successfully and receive maximum financial support.
EV subsidy explained with live demonstrations
The student EV subsidy guide workshop includes presentations from local transport officials, EV dealership partners, and financial consultants. The focus is on helping students understand how to combine central and state-level EV subsidy offerings for maximum savings on electric scooter purchases.
Topics covered include:
-
Eligibility conditions based on student ID and residential status
-
Online portal walk-through for subsidy application
-
Required documentation (Aadhaar, college ID, bank details)
-
Dealer tie-ups offering instant claim processing
-
Timelines and subsidy disbursement procedures
By simplifying the electric bike scheme, JGSSM is ensuring that students make informed decisions when purchasing EVs for daily commute.
Student scooter ownership supported by government savings
Owning a student scooter is now more affordable than ever due to the layered subsidies offered through schemes like FAME-II and additional state incentives. In some regions, students can save up to ₹25,000 on select models. The workshop guides students in comparing models eligible for higher EV subsidy amounts and choosing the most economical option.
JGSSM College also provides brochures and checklists that students can take home or share with their families. These handouts include a comparison of scooter models, estimated final pricing after subsidies, and dealership contacts offering student deals.
Workshop to improve EV awareness and green mobility adoption
This student EV subsidy guide is part of a wider mission to encourage green mobility solutions on campus. JGSSM has already installed EV charging stations near the hostel and academic blocks, promoting the use of electric scooters as a smart and sustainable commuting option.
Students attending the workshop also get a basic orientation on EV safety, battery maintenance, and insurance packages, helping them prepare for practical ownership after purchasing a student scooter under the electric bike scheme.
