Babus may get to drive these 4 electric sedans

Clean and green environment initiative

State-owned Energy Efficiency Services has invited global bids for 10,000 electric sedans that will run up to 150 km on a single charge. These will be used by government departments.

If this plan works out then it will almost complete Piyush Goyal's dream of having only electric cars on Indian streets by 2030. Here what all they could be driving:
