Govt orders petrol cars, ignores CAQM's advisory
Mint Hyderabad
|May 14, 2025
In a perplexing move, the environment ministry has put out a tender to buy 57 petrol-powered cars—less than a week after a pollution control body urged all government institutions in the national capital region to buy only cleaner-fuel vehicles.
The ministry floated the tender on the Government e-Marketplace (Gem) portal on 8 May for 60 cars to be deployed in New Delhi at an estimated cost of ₹8.4 crore. Of these, 57 are petrol-powered cars—27 units of Maruti Suzuki Ciaz and 30 of Maruti Suzuki Dzire. The other vehicles are two Toyota Hycross hybrid cars and one Tata Nexon EV electric car.
