TVS iQube customers who bought an electric scooter last year and paid over the FAME II threshold are eligible for a refund

TVS Motors voluntarily announced refunds earlier this week in light of issues related to FAME II compliance that came to light. The two-wheeler giant reiterated that it has fully complied with all the requirements set out in the FAME policy document and CMVR. The company said off-board chargers were billed separately due to vague policy interpretations.This makes the vehicle cost more than ¥150,000 (factory), exceeding the eligibility criteria for FAME II subsidies. TVS is contacting customers who are eligible for a refund and the process should be completed within the next two to four weeks.
