NEV subsidies by firm ownership

Claims against approvals in MIIT's settlement rounds, 2016–2019, and why claims were cut.

Generated 2026-10-14 by manage.py nev_subsidy_report from the MIIT settlement tables (waitan_ludi_app/nev_settlement.py) and the firm lists.

Question. Central NEV purchase subsidies were paid after the fact: makers claimed for vehicles sold, an expert panel checked each claim, and MIIT published claim and approval per firm and model. If foreign-invested makers were treated differently, it shows as a different approval rate on like-for-like claims, or as a smaller presence in the subsidy-eligible catalogue than in the purely technical purchase-tax catalogue.

Ownership comes from the name lexicon (firm_lists.classify, analyst calls kept). Unclassified firms are mostly small domestic makers; they are shown, not guessed.

Claims against approvals, per settlement round

Vehicles and money (万元) claimed and approved, summed over firms. "Approved" is the final review where one was published. Money is blank for the 2018 round, whose tables give vehicles only.

Final reviews pooled

Only rounds whose final review is held. Preliminary rounds are left out: vehicles cut for a fixable reason were claimed again in a later round (SAIC-GM-Wuling: 0 of 11,143 approved in 2018 for a wrong catalogue batch, then 4,276 of 4,276 in 2019), so pooling them counts claims twice. Claim-weighted; firm counts are firm-rounds.

Why claims were cut

Vehicles cut, by the reason given (核减原因) and ownership, over every round shown above (so a vehicle cut in a preliminary round and again in the final counts twice). Share = that reason's part of the class's cut vehicles.

Subsidy catalogue against purchase-tax catalogue

Distinct vehicle models listed per year. The purchase-tax exemption catalogue is close to a technical register of compliant NEVs; the recommended-model catalogue (推荐车型目录) gated the central purchase subsidy until 2022. "Ratio" is the foreign-invested share of the subsidy catalogue over its share of the tax catalogue in the same year: below 1 means under-represented where money was at stake. Only years the corpus holds batches of both are compared.
