Policy On Electric Vehicles Likely To Be Released In Three Weeks

Government wants to increase share of electric vehicles to 30%

- 

The State government will release a policy for electric vehicles within three weeks, said J. Radhakrishnan, Principal Secretary, Transport Department, here on Saturday.

Speaking at the launch of Society for Smart E-Mobility (SSEM), he assured its members that the policy will focus on encouraging both manufacturers as well as users of electric vehicles.

“The people of Coimbatore are innovators or at best, early adopters,” said Mr. Radhakrishnan while praising members of SSEM for timing its launch prior to the release of the electric vehicle policy. He offered to be a “permanent standing invitee” for the committees of the State government.
