The government is considering random checks on electric vehicles (EVs) after recent lapses under the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid and) Electric Vehicles (FAME) II scheme, according to government officials.

The checks will be conducted by the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI). This follows the recent government action against two key players in the EV market — Hero Electric and Okinawa Autotech.

“The ARAI will select a vehicle at random from the market and test it to check if the manufacturer is following the guidelines. If there is any violation, the ministry (of heavy industry) will take the same action it took aainst localisation and ex-factory price defaulters,” a government official said.
