In this regard, provisions have been developed in the EV Manufacturing and Mobility Policy. The manual for executing the strategy includes detailed information regarding financial incentives for skill development.

According to the EV policy's section, all incentive advantages won't start to be given out until commercial production has started. All financial incentives for manufacturing projects together should not be worth more than 100% of the fixed capital investment.
