这项价值1000亿卢比的计划为使用先进电池的多种注册车辆提供了激励，其中包括100万辆电动两轮车。
汽车行业消息人士表示，ARAI的第一轮审计已于9月的第一周进行，第二轮审计已于9月30日开始。
周四记者联系到Hero Electric、Okinawa和Revolt时，他们均未置评。格里夫斯棉花公司的一位发言人说:“测试机构的官员成功地对我们的Ranipet工厂进行了审计，我们已经得到了一个干净的记录。”
Jitendra EV的一名发言人表示:“Jitendra New EV Tech尚未收到重工业部门的任何通知，称我们公司的任何车型在计算Fame-2的国内附加值的新机制下失去了补贴资格。”

Chennai: The government has cracked down on electric two-wheeler companies<\/a> that allegedly did not comply with the requirement for localisation of components and has suspended incentive payment to Hero Electric<\/a> and Okinawa<\/a>.
In addition, companies including Greaves Cotton\u2019s Ampere, Rattanindia\u2019s Revolt, Okaya and Jitendra EV have to face an audit by ARAI (Automotive Research Association of India) to check if they meet the required level of localisation under the Fame-2 scheme.
The Rs 10,000-crore scheme provided incentives for multiple categories of registered vehicles using advanced batteries, including 10 lakh electric two-wheelers.
<\/div><\/div>The ministry of heavy industries\u2019 website showed that the government has decided to put on hold Fame-2 subsidies for Hero Electric and Okinawa, the two largest players in the electric two-wheeler segment in India with combined sales of nearly 17,000 units a month. Ampere, Revolt, Okaya and Jitendra together sell another 10,000-11,000 units a month.
Sources in the auto industry said that the first round of ARAI audits happened in the first week of September and the second round of audits have kicked off from September 30.
When contacted on Thursday, Hero Electric, Okinawa and Revolt did not comment. A Greaves Cotton spokesperson said: \u201cAn audit was successfully conducted by the test agency officials at our Ranipet plant and we have been given a clean chit.\u201d
A spokesman for Jitendra EV said: \u201cJitendra New EV Tech has not received any notice from the department of heavy industries about any of our company\u2019s models becoming ineligible for subsidies under the new mechanisms to calculate domestic value addition under Fame-2.\u201d
