EMPS Subsidy: The full form of EMPS is Electric Mobility Promotion Scheme. The government has introduced this scheme as a replacement for FAME II when FAME II ended on 31 March 2025. So EMPS was launched. EMPS is a temporary subsidy policy aimed at supporting only electric 2-wheeler adoption, until the government launches a long-term policy (like FAME III).
