How does the PM scheme for e-buses allocate resources based on population
Examine the criteria used by the PM scheme for allocating e-buses to states, with a focus on the consideration of population.
The PM scheme for e-buses, or the Prime Minister's Scheme for Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles (FAME), does not explicitly allocate resources based on population. Instead, it primarily focuses on incentivizing the adoption of electric vehicles, including e-buses, in various states of India. However, indirectly, the scheme does consider population as one of the factors for resource allocation. Here are a few points to consider:
- The scheme considers the demand for electric vehicles in each state, which could indirectly be influenced by population size.
- States with higher population densities might have a higher demand for transportation, leading to a potential higher allocation of e-buses.
- The scheme also takes into account the existing infrastructure and charging facilities in each state, which could be influenced by population density.
- States with higher populations might have a greater need for public transportation, leading to a higher emphasis on e-buses in those areas.
- However, the scheme's primary focus is to promote electric vehicle adoption and manufacturing, rather than a direct allocation based on population.
