|November 11, 2024
Union Power Minister Manohar Lal Khattar launched 'EV as a Service' programme of the Convergence Energy Services Limited (CESL), a subsidiary of Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL), at the Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium here on Sunday.
-
The programme marked a significant step forward in advancing the adoption of electric cars in Central and state government ministries/departments, CPSE's and institutions.
The 'EV as a Service' programme addresses the rising demand for EVs within the government sector with an ambitious goal of deploying 5,000 E-Cars over the next two years. By leveraging a flexible procurement model, the programme allows for the deployment of a variety of E-Car makes/models, enabling government offices to choose E-Cars that best align with their operational requirements.
The programme not only supports the government's environmental sustainability vision but also aligns with India's ambitious goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2070.
