BANGKOK, July 31 (Xinhua) — The Thai government on Wednesday approved adjustments to the country's key incentive programs to encourage manufacturers to boost exports of battery electric vehicles (BEVs), a move aimed at bolstering the country's position as a regional EV manufacturing hub.

Manufacturers participating in the EV subsidy program, which started in 2022, are required to produce electric vehicles domestically as compensation for receiving subsidies and exemption from import duties.

Under the revised terms, one BEV produced for export will count as 1.5 vehicles under the local production quota, making it easier to meet production commitments.

“The changes will allow for greater flexibility and help Thailand, already a leader in the region’s auto industry, become a key base for electric vehicle production,” said Narit Terdsteerasukdee, secretary general of the Thai Board of Investment (BOI).

The adjustments to the program come as total investment in the country's EV supply chain as of June reached 137.7 billion baht (about US$4.21 billion), the BOI said in a statement.

The move is expected to boost Thailand's EV exports to around 12,500 units in 2025 and 52,000 units in 2026.

In the first half of 2025, the number of new BEV registrations increased by 52.4 percent year-on-year to reach 57,289 units, accounting for 15 percent of all new vehicle registrations in Thailand.

To date, the Thai government has provided subsidies totaling more than 12 billion baht (approximately $367.82 million) for 175,064 BEVs and 34,559 electric motorcycles under the EV 3.0 and 3.5 subsidy programs. –0–

VILNIUS, July 31 (Xinhua) — Lithuanian Prime Minister Gintautas Paluckas on Thursday announced his resignation as head of the country's government and chairman of the Social Democratic Party of Lithuania.

“I have informed the President… that I have decided to resign from the post of Prime Minister,” G. Paluckas said in a statement.

The resignation came ahead of a planned vote by the party's executive council and followed a warning from the speaker of the Seimas (parliament) and leader of the Union of Democrats "For Lithuania" Saulius Skvernelis, who threatened to withdraw his party from the coalition government if Paluckas remained in his post.

According to the Constitution of Lithuania, the entire cabinet of ministers will resign along with the prime minister.

Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda on Thursday welcomed the resignation of G. Paluckas, calling the decision “the only right choice.”

G. Paluckas' resignation from the post of the head of government comes amid an investigation into his financial transactions and alleged improper involvement in business, connections with certain businessmen and failure to compensate for damages caused to the Vilnius municipality.
