BSVC is slated to take place under the auspices of FMAE and is scheduled for the month of October 2025. The registration process is set to commence on the 5th April, 2023.

BSVC is orchestrated by FMAE, which stands for Fraternity of Mechanical and Automotive Engineers. FMAE holds a prominent position as India’s foremost organization in the realm of automotive design. Since its inception in 2016, FMAE has been at the forefront of offering internships, training programs, and engaging events in the domain of automotive design.

Notably, FMAE also spearheads diverse racing series such as FFS India, FKDC, FMAE Baja, and Moto Student India, further solidifying its presence and impact in the automotive engineering landscape.

BSVC stands for “Bharat Solar Vehicle Challenge.” It is a Solar Vehicle Design and Manufacturing Competition orchestrated by the Fraternity of Mechanical and Automotive Engineers (FMAE) organization, catering specifically to engineering undergraduates.

This competition is meticulously designed, governed by a comprehensive Rulebook that outlines all regulations pertinent to the event. Scheduled for March 2023, the competition is set to take place in Hyderabad, providing a platform for young engineering talents to showcase their prowess in designing and constructing solar-powered vehicles.

Solar energy is bound to be in our future. There’s a kind of inevitability about it. As FMAE always brings positive and awakening perspectives for every individual and that is always been our aim, so with that we present BHARAT SOLAR VEHICLE CHALLENGE. An engineering design competition for diploma, undergraduate & postgraduate students to Design & Fabricate a Solar Powered Vehicle under the vision and guidelines of FMAE. The ultimate goal for BSVC solar car designers is to design a highly efficient vehicle as per international standards. 

Bharat Solar Vehicle Challenge is an competition inspired from World Solar Challenge. the world’s biggest and most prestigious solar challenge, began in 1987 and occurs once every two years. In 2019, a record 53 entries from 24 countries were received and around 1,500 participants were observed and followed by a global audience of more than 25 million. The event generates industry partnerships across energy, automotive, engineering, financial, material sciences, and IT sectors.
